As I said in my reflections to the tutors feedback, I am disheartened by some of the comments as I was and still am really pleased with the assignment I created. I have however tried some of the suggestions and am equally pleased with the results.
SHAPE
The feedback received for shape was one of the more positive responses of the assignment. It was suggested that I used a tripod and reshot image two in order to give more focus to the outer edges. I have done this and like this image more than the first attempt. I haven't retaken the first image as the feedback suggested it was a good image in its own right.
I also researched the 'rostrum, camera techniques' and can see how that would benefit my images and give a more creative edge.
The image of the shells on the gravel was one of the images I was most pleased with, I love the effect this created and was impressed at the result.TEXTURE
I have taken my tutors suggestion on board for the and taken it in with the light and focus on the tip of the top shell. I do like the result and I think placed along side the original image works well in the assignment, however I still feel the original image is one of my strong ones.
Although I stand by my idea to create an image different from the images I used as inspiration, I have re-shot the image focused on the smooth area of the shell. This image has caused a lot of questions among people who have seen it and while I like that its become a talking point the general feeling is that it didn't work well.
COLOUR
The feedback was greatly received as I struggled with an idea on how to portray colour in a colourless object. For me this was annoying as I can normally come up with a number of ideas to illustrate the point I am trying to make.
I did however think of a couple of ideas but wasn't happy with the results. I have tried the tutor suggestions and am really pleased with the results and feel this has enhanced my assignment greatly.
Green tissue paper didn't really work out well the paper was to thin and let to much of the white light through, however you can still see that it has a green tint.
The Pink paper is my favourite out of them all. it has changed the colour of the shells and has a great shine in the foreground.
This was taken using purple tissue paper and although its not as thin as the green the colour is not as strong as some of the others
The white light with no tissue paper has left a great effect and has created a white shell image and shows colour well by its self.
