This blog will act as a learning log for the "Art of Photography" course which I'm studying. This course is the introductory module for the Open College of the Arts (OCA), Photography Degree course.

Later Parts

Part of this course is very well aligned to my current areas of interest in photography. The photographs that I'm really drawn to are often really good examples of the techniques layed out in this part. The Assignment should also provide me with some good opportunities to explore this - Street Detail...

However, if I look forward to the later Parts I'm less confident. Part 4 is all about light, which is fine, but the assignment requires focussing on a single subject (which you can walk all the way around). I'm thinking that a lot of this part will naturally tend towards still life (which I'm not overly interested in), so I'll need to use my imagination to work within the constraints and still do something I'm excited by.

Part 3 is on colour, which I'm pretty useless with.

Part 5 relates to narrative, it looks pretty tricky and not something I feel as aware of or inspired by.

But I guess that's the point, to try and tackle the things I'm not so good on and get better at them. Up to now, I've been challenged but largely within my comfort zone, looks like the course will soon get a lot harder than it has been up to this point. Which is good, but intimidating.
