AlfyB - injecting colours into water - what a great idea.
Thanks for the feedback. Did you manage to have a look at that IR image yet?
Alfy, like the assignment. How did you get the images to take on the blurred/pastel type effect, not done that before and looks like i will have to.
I just used a Gaussian blur in photoshop.
I've seen a few blogs doing the same sort thing, Warren uses a different approach you might want to check.
Will try and see what i can find in Lightroom, photoshop a little confusing for my simpleton mind
AlfyB said:Thanks Byker. Its fun and I'd recommend giving it a try. I need to get my self something that is flat and made of glass and then try and work on the lighting.
LucyB - loving the layout of your blog. I really like the images and introductory piece. That theme works really well and some great images as well. CarolS is using the same one, really nice choice.

All this talk of Photoshop has gotten me thinking.. I don't use Windows, so have stuck with using the badly named, The GIMP, instead. Does anyone have any experience of using this for the DPP module or know whether it's possible?
I need to improve my pp skills at some point, but I don't know what I'm missing out on by not using Photoshop.
No time to take photos really at the moment so I'm conceptualizing around an exercise, thinking of the considerations.
I've just linked in Swiss Tony with - David Bailey once said, "I'm very quick. Ten minutes, that's about enough time for a portrait."
Perhaps I shouldn't have had that second glass of wine
LOL - I'm still waiting for my Assignment 3 feeback - I've chased
I completed the first exercise for Light - wow 40 plus images and the write up on the log.
I had a quick flick through the rest of the light module - I don't know how I can spend a day from dawn to dusk taking an image every hour. Should have scheduled this for the shortest day (in terms of light) of the year
I'll worry about that when I get to it
I've received my feedback for assignment 3, quite happy on the whole. Need to re-shoot a couple of the photos, as my tutor felt they did not fit the assignment.
I have also taken loads of images for the first exercise of Light, but not had chance to look through them yet.
Reading The Photograph by Graham Clarke at the moment, struggling though because it is not holding my attention.
Well i have hit a massive brick wall prior to assignment 2 called too much work :bang::bang:
Had the council refit the kitchen the other week (took them 15 working days), during which time the place was in turmoil and no space to do anything. On top of that, i have been so busy, i haven't picked the camera up for about 2 weeks, got my tutor to extend my assignment to easter, but not going to get a chance till then to get the camera out.
Doing my head in it is.
Who was doing the exercise of shooting every hour through the day.
This looks an interesting way of presenting the work, adding a timeslice as part of the image.

March assessment results are out. I got 55 which is very disappointing but expected as I had very little input from my tutor.
Oh well, Onwards

Formal assessment at the end of your course. It's marked by external assessors and the results posted on the student site.
well thats my colour assignment sent off. I think that was the hardest most drawn out soul sapping assignment yet! (although ive just taken a peek at the Light module!)
Anyway i really didnt enjoy this one, trying to find real world examples of the colour combinations was seriously time consuming. I think my last assignment went in January so its taken me far too long for this one.

Wordpress - does anyone know of a plug in that would generate a gallery from a link to a flickr set? I just like doing a "braindump" page for each assignment where i just dump in every image ive taken for it before showing the finals in the Assignment post. I run my WP page from my own webspace so it would just be nice to host the images on flickr to save my space allowance on the website
