OCA Landscape Photography - Project 13

Project 13 asked for us to take photos throughout the day to become aware of the changing light. I was in Kuala Lumpur, and the light was amazing - helped by the fact I was staying on the 21st floor! So, this is an urban landscape instead, until such a time as I can take a proper landscape in the same conditions.

The light changed quickest around the end of the day, although I like looking at the range of light we got throughout the day. The images were shot in the 12 hours from 07.24 - 19.38.

My favourite light, as always, is coming up to dusk although I sometimes get caught out by the speed at which it can suddenly become dark! I also sometimes like the middle of the day if there are clouds, as these can add a huge amount of atmosphere to photos.

Contrast and exposure - this project was looking at areas of contrast and comparing colour and black and white , and looking at detail recorded in the images. Thinking about waiting until the light changes and different lighting making a complete difference to our view. The bright sunshine helped with the contrast in these images, shot in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

The colour of daylight - I read through this a few times to try and figure out what to shoot, but couldn't find anything. So I looked through other students blogs to see what they had done. I also checked the oca forums and it turns out this is just a 'read and note' project!

Old Dhaka

A couple of weeks ago I headed down to Old Dhaka, where people were definitely curious about me and my camera. These are some of the portraits I took while I was there.

OCA Landscape Photography - Assignment 1

This assignment, the first we submit to a tutor, was to depict the current season. I chose to go to Nepal for a wider variety of seasons, and an easier place to travel around. It is only an hours flight from Dhaka and so is pretty convenient. This is my response to the season, Winter.

OCA Landscape Photography - Project 10

Project 10 is about soft colours. When I was in Chitwan in Nepal, the early mornings were beautiful and foggy, which softened the colours quite a bit. One shows a person in a landscape as the shot is one of my favourites and demonstrates the softening.

OCA Landscape Photography - Project 9 - one isolated colour

This was one isolated colour set against a contrasting background. I thought that using my macro lens and close up flower shots made this work best.
