This is my example of  'growing'.

Animation LA1

Here is my first attempt at animation.  Yes, I'd say about a year 2 level!!!

Digital Imaging LA11 shooting motion

Here are a few more photos of motion.  Mick the Springer Spaniel likes to throw his teddy and then chase after it and of course his tail is always wagging.  One of our budgies called Sunny is a chatty little fellow and loves to have a fly around in the unit.  The feet belong to me and I took advantage of the granddaughter's swing for this photo.

Well, what a challenge this has been.  How many of us want to get the perfect photo with no blur or movement?  Our Springer Spaniel Mick thought it was great fun to have me on the floor trying to get the perfect photo of him! What a shame that none of his photos met the criteria.

I knew one day that all my sunset photos would come in handy for something.

I really enjoyed doing this exercise.  It was great to use some of my own photos and a real challenge finding suitable images on the internet.  Here are my five examples:

Using Method 2

LA9 Web Page Backgrounds

This first website of the WA Art Gallery had me intrigued as the information is right on the left hand edge of the website with a big grey strip down the right hand side.  I've included a screen shot of the background image.

I think the Comet Windmills website is very good.  The background and the foreground continue through each other.  It has the feel of looking through a window.  I especially love the landscape; makes me think of our travels through beautiful Australia.

Lemonthyme Lodge website has the ideal colour but its setup is dead boring.  If you look at the website yourself, the background page is a simple gradient of dark green to light green - repeated twice.

My favourite website is definitely Comet Windmills.  It's been thought out very well and it's very appealing to the viewer.

LA8 Green 2nd attempt

My interpretation of this Lesson appears to be very different to other students.  I decided on a poster style rather than an advertisement.  I haven't changed anything in the second layout although I've added one more thing.  I redid all the individual items.  On analysing the three formats at close detail, the gif format, at 0.98 MB was very noisy so that was eliminated immediately.  The png format was 3.6 MB and the jpg format was 1.13 MB.  Both of these formats were very good quality so I compared three pieces of the photo to determine the better quality photo.   The jpg, at one third of the size of the png format was my choice.

LA8 Green

This is my first attempt at creating a 'green' composition.

Second attempt

A couple more examples of tonal adjustments.

This learning activity was a lot of fun.  I chose a background photo of Lee's Hut.  We visited this gorgeous setting in January 2010.

LA5 Adjustment Levels

I've used 2 photos for this exercise, that I took on my travels in Canberra and Cobar.  Cobar is a mining town and it's a beautiful, clean town.  We parked in a free-camp area for a couple of days, beside a lake where the locals try a bit of water skiing.  Floriade is the tulip festival held in Canberra every year.

Digital Imaging - LA4

Here are my 4 examples of resizing images.

The first is a butterfly and a bee on a Buddleia bush in Harvey WA.  At the time I wasn't worried about anything but catching the butterfly still sitting on the flower head.  Cropping the image removes all the blurred background and focuses entirely on the mauve flower head.

The second example is of a rose in my front garden.  The original photo shows the bruising caused by the rain, even though they eye is drawn to the centre of the rose.  The cropped image focuses entirely on the centre of the rose.

The 3rd example is Danielle and Sunny.  The background isn't very pleasing to the eye so when the image is cropped, it certainly improves the shot.

My last example is a beautiful garden on the outskirts of Ulverstone.While the garden looks lush and green, everywhere else is brown!  To retain the feeling of  a cool green garden, I cropped the image.

Blogging right along..............

I chose this title as it sounds like “moving right along” and that’s what we’ve done in our motor home for a couple of years.  We still travel around from time to time and I do my study online quite successfully. 

I’ve inserted photos of the equipment and the resources that I use.  My ‘classroom’ is a different spot every day.

 The background is a shot taken at the Cervantes Wind Farm in WA and of course, the motor home to give a clear indication of Blogging right along...............

Here is the revamped version:
