My best images
This image was taken over at the town park near the train track, this bridge goes over that track. The framing device here is the bridge and how it frames the dogs. It also shows a journey as I am taking the viewer over this bridge to the other side. This photo was taken using a my mini tripod just to stable my hand and make the photos focus a bit better, using shutter speed1/125.
The framing device in this image is the reflection in the water of the trees. Reflections are framing devices as they show a different perspective on something. It makes the image look upside down or the wrong way round - but that's what makes this image appealing. To edit this image I will enhance the reflection to make it more distinct, I will also make it into black and white to make the photo dramatic and interesting.
For this image the framing device is the broken window as it frames the branches in front of it. The focus managed to stay on the branches and on the window which makes this image more of a frame rather than a distracting image. When taking this image I was inspired by Sebastian Łuczywo (research log post) who featured a broken glass window in one of his images and I found that interested so I wanted to do something like that.
This was taken near the Moorhen pub where the boat dock is. I managed to get the decisive moment and capture the couple walking over the bridge, which makes a really good frame. The frame is where the couple is they are perfectly centred which makes them framed. Too edit this image I will be cropping it so there is not a lot of wasted space and then experiment.
Images that need improvement
This image needs improvement because it is quite out of focus, there is no main focus point therefore it's out of focus. The framing device is the couple underneath the tree as tree frames them. If I were to reshoot this I would quickly check my settings and focus so the image turns out how I wanted it, I would also need new subjects as there is an unlikely chance that this couple would be there at the same time as us again.

This photograph needs improvement because I didn't want the focus to be like this, also it's quite shaky due to my unsteady hand therefore the image is bad either way. I have done an improvement on this when I was doing this shoot which is what I wanted it too turn out to be.
AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress.
I took the opportunity to take my camera with me when taking the dogs out for a walk, as where we went is a very attractive place due to all the trees, etc. I tried to make this shoot different by taking pictures of the man made objects rather than all nature related. However, I should of taken more photos because these are all in some way quite similar and I need more of a variety in my shoot. I should have experimented with this shoot because there were many ideas that came to my mind as I was shooting but I didn't have the resources or materials with me.
AO2: Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops.
I used a Samsung NX20 20.3 MP SLR. I didn't concentrate on any specific photographer or image, I just went with what came to me at that moment. I did have a few images in mind from my research so I was influenced by a mix of photographers, etc. By being influenced and having a mix of ideas for my shoots, the photographs are different to what would normally would have done. For this shoot I would have just taken basic, landscape photos - but instead I took a range of images.

AO1: Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.
I tried to focus more on natural framing devices, because it makes the image look inevitable - like it is expected. I found this shoot quite difficult however because I wanted it too be different from the other shoots that I've done in the park - this was challenging as it is all very similar. When editing some of these images I wanted to experiment with the tools to see to what extent I go before making the image not appealing.

Progression section
Shoot five involved me photographing whilst walking the dogs, we walked through the park and walking through the woods. I tried finding as many framing devices as I could and I managed to find a view. I took multiple images so I have more of a selection to edit and for my best images. How I edited an image & why:
This was inspired by Sebastian Łuczywo. I am pleased with this edit as it is different to what I would usually do. This edit allowed me to experiment with my photoshop skills and combining images together, this edit took time as I wanted it too look realistic and I believe I have achieved this. The graffiti was taken from the train track bridge, I decided too take multiple pictures of the graffiti art because they are very interesting and I believe I could edit them somehow into another photograph.

The first annotated image is a basis of how I edited this image. As I said in the annotations I decided to take multiple images of graffiti because I find graffiti very interesting and creative therefore I wanted to share it. I wanted the graffiti to look as if it was always in this spot and I achieved this. I made it black and white because this is what Sebastian had his photo like.
The second annotated image was inspired by no particular photographer. I just felt like this edit was appropriate because the frame was empty, I used this graffiti art from a underpass. I chose to use this one because it's as if the elderly lady is waiting for the dogs, I gave her a shadow to make it seem more realistic as if she was meant to be there.

My work -- Rich McCor
Rich McCor is featured in my research log post. Rich McCor's photography is known for creating cut outs and placing them over some well known areas. I was inspired by this concept when editing this image because I wanted to create something different. I made this frame for this image and quick-selected the centre of the frame and turned it black and white.
