TARGETS When you write about your own work (www and ebi) you need to look more closely and work out exactly what it is that you do well and what needs to be improved. At the moment you always write the same thing. The best place to start is the aims of the task. Do you meet the success criteria? Keep on top of the analysis of other photographers- use the sentence starters to help you. Focus your camera. Check your exposure- do you know what to do if your camera is over or underexposed.

Four Composition Types
In this task I was required to take pictures of four different compositions.
Describe the four composition types, include an example for each one (find it online) and use this to illustrate your description.
Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds are divided vertically and horizontal.
Triangle
Triangles are a good way of grouping elements of an image and organising them so they suggest stability.
Balance
he 3D effect in 2D, it helps to include layers in your composition.

Trip to South Africa
I went to South Africa on the 15th of June till the 28th of June. Where did you go in South Africa? When did you go and for how long? In South Africa I went to Durban and I went there for two weeks. How did the landscape of SA compare to England? Describe this and then add the images you took from the plane. The landscape is much better than England because its more exciting and the towns are more nicer than England.- How does it look different
Describe the city. How was it different from London? What buildings did you see? For example skyscrapers, malls, religious buildings? Add images of buildings here. How do these places compare to similar locations in London?
It is different from London because the malls are more bigger and nicer.
Describe the feeling in the city. Was it busy? Were there crowds? Did you go to any events or place where communities meet eg. church, markets etc. Put any images that fit this below. Can you compare this to London?
Did you photograph any other themes? For example, nature, family etc that you wish to share?
Exam piece
I have decided to revisit the mirroring and flipping task from the beginning of the project. Add a gallery of all your images
