These two weeks were both online instead of in person lectures. This presented a few challenges for us as online lectures aren’t usually as engaging and it’s harder to get the most out of the lecture. However, in both lectures I took away information that will be important and I will make sure to use this in my assessment.
In week 5 the lecture was mainly talking about ISO and shutter speed, which is useful for taking pictures of people and things in motion. The workshop task for this week hasn’t been done yet for me but I know we have to take a picture with shutter speed and capture something in motion.
I found week 6 more interesting and useful for me because it was one to one meetings where I spoke about my assignment and what I was planning to do with it. I got some good feedback and some good ideas which made me feel better and more confident with the whole thing. Ruth also gave me the name of a photographer that I could use as a mood board and to get some ideas and inspiration from.
After weeks 5 and 6 I feel quite confident and calm about the assessment and the deadline for it.
