This photo captures the ducklings swimming with the one in the foreground tucked away into a little nook between to stones and nestled amongst the knobby rush reeds. The duckling in to the rear is preening itself and you can just see the slashes of water as it flicks out from the feathers during the preening. The detail of the eye and face of the front duckling captures the look as it watches the environment it is surrounded by. You can also see the fine hairs on the ducklings head.

I took this photo and included it in the portrait section of the assessment as a follow up of the previous image. It is the same lorikeet, it always knows when I am photographing it and literally waits till I am finished. It captures the mood of the bird, and detail, it is preparing to take flight after is splash around in the water, it is actually watching me take the photo.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo is an environmental portrait, capturing the detail of the lorikeet as it jumped from the Corymbia to the Birdbath, in preparation of diving in for swim. It captures the birds intention to jump into the water, the detail is clear, but it is underexposed, so I should have used a different setting on the camera or used lightroom classic to improve the exposure.

# data[].attributes.body
The photo shows shallow depth of field, movement and a subtle blurring around the head of the bee as it was about to take flight again. The blurred background increases the focus on the featured bee taking off and the flowers. The photo was taken close up.

Shallow depth of field, good exposure creating a shadow play of light where the hoverfly is, with blurring of the background to highlight the Hoverfly on the flower.

This is a lovely still life of a Lorikeet, with great definition of the main feature, being the lorikeet and blurring of the backdrop and surrounding grevillea flower to the left.

The lighting in this photo and exposure is not quite right, it was taken late afternoon and captures our modern habits of always being on our mobile phones. It is a candid portrait. The detail is good in the foreground with a subtle blurring of the harbour bridge and buildings in the background.

# data[].attributes.body
Photo shows extended depth of field taking into the expanse and detail of the area. I need to work on the level of exposure in alot of my photos.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo shows an extended depth of field to take in the depth of the area that also has clarity and definition. I don't think the exposure is correct for this photo, its an an area that I have alot more to learn and understand.

# data[].attributes.body
This image is underexposed, way to dark, I could adjust this light room classic using auto or use the flash.

Capturing both the foreground architecture and the background architecture

# data[].attributes.body
I think the exposure is not right on this one as it is slightly underexposed. It captures the juxtaposition of the two very different types of architectural styles of the buildings.

# data[].attributes.body
Extended Depth Of Field Photo 2, a narrow aperture was used, the sun was high, I think this photo captures the backdrop quite well, the rays of light are filtering through the trees and shimmering on the water as seen on the left side of the photo, I don't think the exposure is right in this photo definitely a lot more skill required.

# data[].attributes.body
This is using extensive depth of field to capture more of the surrounding area, so that the background is not blurred, but contains more detail.

Slightly over exposed photo taken of vegetation around Balmoral. Not a great photo.

This is an overexposed photo, without any real clarity within the photo It is not a great photo. I could have shot this photo using raw setting for the overexposed shot but didn't.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this image has quite good exposure, the Butcher bird has good definition.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo has good definition and I think the exposure in this is okay, although it could have a little more exposure. The main feature has very good definition and depth of colour.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this has good exposure, the image has clarity & definition within the Banksia seed pod.

# data[].attributes.body
The shutter speed needed to be greater so that the movement would be more defined, the two main bees are blurred and should be more defined for this photo.

This image captures the architectural features of the arch door with the zig zag timber the pathway leads the eye straight to the gate. The structure is softened by the herb garden. It was taken mid morning but would have been good to take the photo at dusk as the natural light would have given a very different mood with the outdoor lighting automatically coming on as the sun goes down, the play of light would have highlighted the building as a backdrop creating different shadow effects on the blank white wall of this building. The photo could have had greater light exposure when taking the shot.

# data[].attributes.body
This image was as seen taken just as a storm was brewing. The residential home was still under construction, and it was taken from across the road. The photo sets a mood, as it reflects the dark clouds that shadow the right side of the build, the left side stands out, I could have taken the photo showing alot less of the road with a greater focus on the build but keep the dark brooding clouds in the picture.

# data[].attributes.body
The photo could be alot clearer, the light in this glass house is incredible bright, there is a red sheeting as seen in image that adds to the colour of the image. The angle was taken looking up into the ceiling to capture the detailing of the roof line, and the infrastructure within the glass house. The detailing of the roof line has been captured, I think. There is a contrast in the ceiling as on the right side of the roof their is opaque panelling where as the left top section of the roof is clear glass and the image has clearly captured those details.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this image captures the patterns of the lighthouse both on the railing and the tower itself. The lighthouse is definitely the feature within this photograph, but I can definitely improve in this area, capturing the people within this photo also signifies the towering statue of the lighthouse. I think with the architecture photos I can do a lot better but left it too late in the semester to take more detailed images.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo would be better taken at dawn or dusk on a clear day. This image was taken early afternoon from across the bay. Taking a photo of this building up closer and providing more detail within the architecture and detail of the building, also taking photos at dawn would provide different natural lighting effects. It would have been better taken up closer than across the bay.

I could improve on this as it is not as clear or defined as it could be, taking this shot at dusk utilising the low light and again later at just before dark as the dock would have been lit up. It is also out of focus.

Surfer wading through the water and waves crashing

# data[].attributes.body
This image shows movement in the waves crashing and the distant surfer wading out to catch some waves. It could improve this image by have a clearer focus, it was taken in the afternoon on a clear sunny day. It would be good to take this either early in the morning or at dusk to shift the lighting.

Butcher bird just beginning to open its wings to take off

# data[].attributes.body
This butcher bird was captured as it was just beginning to spread its wings to take flight as it had finished bathing. You can see the subtle blur around the base of the wing. I think that I could have taken a better movement shot as it took flight but I did not have it in a focus in time.

# data[].attributes.body
These lorikeets were captured bathing, it was underexposed originally, then I added it to lightroom to adjust exposure, it still is not the correct exposure.

Native stingless bee walking along the rim of the Corymbia flower

# data[].attributes.body
You can just see the subtle blurring of the legs as they native bee was actually walking along the rim of the Corymbia flower making its way to the pollen. I could improve on this image by showing greater detail with the bee which was meant to be the feature of the photo.

# data[].attributes.body
This image shows the movement of the water as the breeze skimmed the surface, a slower shutter speed it was taken on a sunny day so the water has a slight shimmer to it, the bottome was crystal clear as it was a rock pool it was semi sheltered. I think it could have had greater detail and clarity using a faster shutter speed.

# data[].attributes.body
These were busy ducklings on the move with their mother, as they were captured while they were preening themselves using a faster shutter speed, all in different stages of preening. I think that the image has clarity even though they were constantly moving.

The bee was just about to land on the flower

# data[].attributes.body
Movement within this image using a slower shutter speed, the wings are expanded as it was captured just as it was beginning to land on the flower. I think that the clarity of the image is good, not only within the flowers but the detail of the body of the bee and the very subtle capturing of the fluttering wings.

# data[].attributes.body
This still life was take outside under a canopy of a callinandra tree, the detail of the egg comes across but the shine on the egg could have been toned down. The leaves have come up true to the shine and colour of the actual foliage of the ground cover.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was taken near a front window ( I am not sure if that fits this section of the assessment) But the lorikeet literally sat still while I took this photo. It was taken early in the morning just outside the front window of my family home where the grevillea ( the lorikeet is perched on the branch) The image shows incredible detail of the colours and even the eye of the lorikeet and the shape, form of its beak. The background has blurred to create a very detailed foreground.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was using all natural light as it was taken outside. The backdrop is very detailed that also shows her shadow. I could have improved on this image by showing a more detailed portrait of her face, but the background softens, with the foreground showing the patterns in the sand without detracting from the portrait itself. I should have put her more in the centre of the shot. This I think is an example of a candid portrait, as she was jumping for joy at being able to travel.

# data[].attributes.body
This was taken using natural light within a nook within a building, black and white photo. There is a shadow effect on the left side of his face which at the time was not intentional. I do love this photo and the shadow effect, the texture in the woodwork to the left adds to the overall effect.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this might be underexposed, I could have adjusted the light in the space this photo was taken and utilised more natural light as the room was too dark. The photo was taken up close where the background is barely visible.

Featuring The Magnolia Flower as the still life

# data[].attributes.body
The clarity of the magnolia flower is beautiful in this still life with the dark back drop of foliage that disappears. It was not planned to have a bee buzz into the photo, but I took this photo on a table outside near my bee hive. The stamens were carefully placed onto the petal and I love the way this photo came together.

# data[].attributes.body
This was for an event where a floral arrangement was required. When I took this photo I did not have my camera, so I had to use my phone instead. The clarity of the arrangement not good enough, and it was a busy arrangement with too. many elements however for the event it worked really well.

This image shows the ripple in the water as the boat and ferry move through the water, it was taken from a lookout point over neutral bay this was fast shutter speed.

I think the angle of the photo should have included more the plant content, image needs to be sharpened and a possible increase in exposure.

# data[].attributes.body
This image needs cropping, there are too many dark colours on a timber base that is also dark. I think the exposure is okay? But probably too many flowers. This was taken for an inhouse magazine.

# data[].attributes.body
I could have brightened this still life up through adobe, the bath salts is to the foreground, the back drop is dark and the whole shot is too busy. I would change it to featuring the bath salts with only a few sprinkled purple flowers around the base.

# data[].attributes.body
This was taken using natural light near a window during the morning. Using Adobe classic to whiten and brighten the backdrop.

# data[].attributes.body
This movement photo was taken during a hive check where the bees are incredibly active, using a faster shutter speed. In this image they are actually climbing up from within the frame, the wings for some of the bees are spread wide as seen on a few of them in this image as they are getting ready to take off. The image has clarity, the shadows of created from their wings has been captured and so has they wing spread. The bee top centre right shows the movement of the wings as it takes flight.
