Initial Ideas and Brainstorming

Autumn Theme

• Colourful trees and landscape images
• Halloween
• Leaf Arrangements in the style of Andy Goldsworthy
• Molly and the Leaves
• Use Photoshop to make leaves more red or orange
• Harvest Festival, close up image of squash, pumpkin, cabbage etc
• Woodland images

Christmas Theme - Images relating to Christmas

• Christmas Food
• Christmas Trees
• Snow landscape images
• Snow men images
• Lights
• Decorations

Weather Theme - Showing images taken during different weather conditions. 

• Autumn Images
• Winter Images
• Sunset Images taken in the caribbean

I have decided to choose the theme Autumn providing I can get all my images taken before the leaves leave the trees and disappear into winter.  I have choosen this theme instead of my other ideas because I did not want to wait until christmas to shoot my final images.  I really liked the weather theme and as I am going to the caribbean in December that would have given me the opportunitity to fit summer into the final folio of images.

I have already been out with my camara on a practise shoot in woodlands to practise using the shutter speed and aperture relationship.  I would like to create a landscape picture in the style of Ansel Adams using a really small aperture and using my tripod a slow shutter speed to capture the detail in all the frame of the shot.  I have also been thinking of ideas in the style of Andy Goldsworthy using leaves to create an image showing texture and colour.
