Tuesday 4th September 2018, Shrewsbury town

My theme was focused on the shapes in the architecture of Shrewsbury town that made up letters, and the colours of these letters.

My favourite photos taken were the front tyre of a bike which formed the letter ‘Q’, the ‘N’ formed from an arch in the town square, and the ‘C’ in the bannister of a staircase. This was because I was able to capture the vibrant colours of the flowers hanging below and the brown tones in the wood of the bannister. The brown tones of the wood stand out against the predominantly black flooring, this draws attention to the photo. Although, If I were to retake this photo I would ensure that my legs weren’t in the shot and the camera was directly above the curve of the bannister. This photo was taken with overhead LED lights. Also the bright pinks, greens and whites of the flowers provide a burst of colour against the dull sand coloured tones of the background. However, I do not like the positioning of the photo which is pointed upwards, I would prefer the photo to be level with the hanging basket of flowers. The lighting of this photo was natural daylight on a slightly overcast day.

Also my photo of the letter ‘V’ in the spikes of a building, this was because it was a creative way of finding a letter using angles, but I do not like how blurred the photo is when cropped or zoomed in. This is because I used an iPhone camera for these photos.

I used my iPhone camera in the portrait mode for these photos. This meant that my photos were at a lower quality than they would have been had I used a DSLR camera.

The purpose of this task was to allow me and my class to view our surroundings in greater detail and learn to take notice of the smaller parts of the landscape.
