Reflections on the outcome of Assignment 1

Technical and Visual Skills

The camera was set on auto, which worked well, except for image number 6.  I had metered off the stonework in each image, but I metered off the tree in image 6, which gave a slightly over exposed result.  This would not be an issue if viewed on its own, but compared to the other images, the error was obvious.  I used Photoshop to adjust the brightness to improve the outcome.

Quality of Outcome

Adequate although I could have created more images, framed from different viewpoints.

As I have worked for the University for a number of years, I could have arranged to take the images from the upper floors of the building opposite.  This would have had to have been arranged in advance which I failed to do in time.

Creativity

I have always felt there are many photographic opportunities in Oxford which display examples like this, so maybe I could have experimented more in other areas of Oxford. 

Context

The context of this assignment was to create 2 sets of images which show different stories.  I feel that this has been achieved.
