 * Several techniques which I find visually appealing are movement, colour contrast and the use of different perspectives. Using a narrow depth of field as well as having the subject off centre is also very visually striking. I also enjoy black and white photography as well as very structured and geometric photographs. My experiences and everything I see influences my perspective. I have travelled all over Europe and the architecture there definitely influences my sense of design. I have a very visual memory so I remember most things in a series of still images. One particular image that sticks with me is from last spring when I went on a hike to Mystic Beach with a friends family. It was a very stormy day so the ocean was dark and wild. I remember looking down the beach and seeing the almost black waves crashing over the shiny wet rocks on one side and the bright green forrest on the other. A small child had ran ahead and his orange shirt was outlined against the grey sky, ocean and beach. This moment in time stands out because of the contrasts and colours as well as the weather at the time.**


 * I hope to gain several things from this course. First a better understanding of photography design and better technique with a camera. Secondly to experience and take some incredible photographs. And third, to learn and understand more about both film and digital photography.**




 * The above image stands out to me because of the contrast between the black silhouettes and the bright orange of the sun's reflection. It also has a personal connection to me because I row. The image gives a sense of peace and stillness. Overall the different layers of colour and water as well as the dark shapes of land and rower work together to create this brilliant photograph.**

**Thanks for the introduction to you! Nice attention to detail and choice of image.** **5/5**
