I wanted to write a post about my reflection homework for photography, simple because i found things along the way while taking photo's and wanted to write down my thoughts/ have a conversation with myself. I find when taking photo with a theme, i over thinking it... and it leads to fear of taking photos, so i just let go. Any reflection i looked at i took a photo of and then could ask questions later, it was a great way of reflecting my day as well.
Last year i did a 10 hour exam on the theme of reflections and i got to learn a lot about how reflections work. I wanted this time to think about other things, to take this opportunity to think about line, shape and composition.
How strong dose the reflection need to be?
Dose everything need to be so obvious ? Can i say what i am trying to say without shouting it? can it be a whisper?
Colour. I tend to use black and white it most of my images, truthfully? because i am scared of colour, sounds ridiculous but i don't know enough about it so i avoid it. WHY? i never take this attitude with anything else in my study's... i don't know something i learn about it, i ask why.
Line. How to use it? what it can do for an image. Shape, pattern... texture. So much to think about when trying to compose an image.
I am only handing in 5 but i wanted to have a talk/ think to myself. I must remember these when doing my photography unit, just some of the questions i need to ask.

Flipping an image.
Something as simple as turning an image around can change the way i see it, and what i am trying to say. I was thinking of an impression with this image, something soft and just at a glance. Because that what i do when i see a reflection... i just glance, and some people don't even see it.
