Started looking at others work to come up with some idea of what direction i'd like to go in for this assignment. Choosing a theme pretty much means that i haven't got much restrain on what i can do for example i've seen someones work on flickr whos doing the same course as me and they've chose to look at rural road junctions ( suppose its what ever you're interseted in, me personally don't quiet see the draw of this). Other sources i've gone back to for insperation are the books i have listed on this page plus i brought a magazine i found called The Essential Guide To Landscape Photography produced by Digital SLK Photography, although it doesn't have anything new to tell me in it some of the photos are brilliant and have been a great help.
What I'm finding myself leaning towards is a study of Water, i haven't been able to find anyone particular photography who has mainly focused on this subject but I've found plenty of examples to help me within the work of the list of people I've got on my blog plus I've been looking at a couple of new people work by the names of Peter Watson and Joe Cornish. What i can see is that when working with water you have to be willing to experiment with shutter speeds and choose your lighting conditions very carefully as this can be a limiting factor. Alot of the shots I've seen appear to be shot very early at first light or just after dusk so that the different colours in the sky can be taken advantage of.
I'm looking forward to this now, i was a little apprehensive about how to approach this particular assignment when i had my original read through of the course material but know I've reached this point I've got some really good ideas lets just hope the weather plays along and gives me a helping hand.
