Progress Location Folio - Coming to the End of the Assignment

This is the first blog that I have written for April about my Location Folio. Most of my progress is being recorded in my actual Visual Diary, but I wanted to keep my blog up to date so here I am.

Okay I have taken about four rolls for this assignment and I have been quite happy with the results. For each roll I have used bracketing as I find this very useful when I am in the dark room and I can just use another neg if I am having an issue with exposure. 

The final shots that I have decided to use for the submission of this assignment are:

- Shot of Mechanics work boots with a spanner in the shot in workshop
- High heel shoes with hand bag in shot in a wardrobe
- Basketball shoes with basketball in background in a street
- Thongs with beach bag and beach towel in shot on some grass
- Gum boots in a garden setting with a garden in the background and a shovel or a toll
- Slippers with a person sitting on a lounge or skate shoes with a skateboard

I already taken the majority of these shots, but after our in class discussion, I have decided to re shoot some of the photographs I have taken as they need to show more about the person.

The shot I have already posted on my blog of the high heel shoes, was one of the shots that I was happy with, but to make it better I am going to put it in  a different setting with a hand bag that is tipped over to show the contents of the bag, to tell the viewer more about the person.

The photos I took of thongs were good, but need to relate the the surroundings of the shoes more so I am going to improve these shots.

Overall I am quite happy with my progress and I will keep working on the areas that need to be fixed.
