Re: Module 7

Just taken a set of pics for this module myself. Before I edit them and write up the module, I just have a quick question for those of you who've done it. I presume it's okay to take four different pics of the same building if they are different views or aspects of this and are telling the viewer something about the building?

Thanks,

Neil.






Hi, as always with a collection of pictures of the same subject you need to decide if there is a sufficiently different approach to each picture, different techniques used and different results. Producing several near identical pictures just means you get rather poor value from the feedback as there isn't enough variety in approach. Consider how do you deal with varied lighting, using different perspectives, a range of viewpoints and distances from your subject and perhaps a variety of media –working in colour and black and white for instance.

Remember a course is taking risks, sometime getting things wrong and asking why. It's not about winning a competition or producing a flawless folio of pictures – better to get a low mark taking risks than a high mark playing it safe. It’s tempting to work to your strengths and do what you already do best – that produces impressive pictures but of course you don’t learn anything!
