Beach shoot 1
Best Photo
I like this photo because of where the focus point is and how the waves are just about to hit the sand. I think because the focus point is on the rock the dullness of the scenery because its a little underexposed doesn't really matter. because the background is blurred anyway.
Worst Photo
This is my worst photo out of the whole lot for the simple reason that it isn't actually a picture of anything. Because its so overexposed and blurry, there isn't an actually a picture to view. The light covers the entire screen.
Best Photo
I wanted this picture to represent connection and how everything links somewhere even from the smallest of streams to the biggest of them all. I like the way the pebbles are places because it's like small bumps until you reach the ultimate goal, which is in this case the sea. The marks in the sand from where the water has carved it makes it look more interesting and the angle I took it from so you saw that it opened in to the sea. I also like the colours of the sand, it looks so fresh even though it's been sunken.
Worst Photo
This is my worst photo because it doesn't have a focus point. There're so many rocks in it that I feel as though needed to have sharp outlines and because its blurry that is lost and it is just a mess. Also the fact that it was majorly miserable and dull that day, made the picture generally not appealing.
Light photography
Favourite Light Photo
This is my favourite photo because it actually spelled out something, it was hard to capture this as you have to write the letters and the words backwards. After many tries we made "yours", to symbolise committing yourself to somebody with your all.
Beach Shoot 2
Best Photo
I like this photo because of where the light is. The sky is a calming pink and yellow because the sun was setting, the waves were crashing creating the most relaxing sound and I believe the picture shows this. The large rocks and hills that are silhouettes stand for me as the troubles and the sky over looking it resembles you. Conquering life obstacles. This is my favourite photo of the whole trip personally.
Worst Photo
I think this would have been a good picture if it wasn't so over exposed. The view is nice but the light takes it over and merges with the ocean so all the different colours in the shot were lost.
