Discuss what you intended to do as part of the project, has the idea changed?

For my project I intended to portray the changes of the British landscape throughout different seasons. My idea has stayed the same thus far however I do aim to use the tools available within Lightroom and Photoshop in order to become more experimental within my images.

I think that upon review, some of my images, especially in shoot 1, where particularly saturated. This is something that randomly cam about, however, I do not find myself wanting to continue with the saturated look as my style, I feel, is of lower saturation images, allowing the natural colours to be shown without being in the viewers face.

What shoots where most successful?

I feel that so far all of my shoots have been fairly successful. My best shoot would probably be shoot 3, where images where taken within farmers fields. This shoot, capturing both animals and plants, featured some of my best work due to the time in which I spent waiting for the best objects, and light which have impacted my images. I also favour this shoot, as well as shoot 1 due to the level of detail that has been achieved within the images.

What aspect of the work requires improvement (e.g. a shoot, a technique, etc.)

I think that my work needs to become more experimental in order for my images to stand out. I think that with the use of Photoshop and Lightroom I can achieve this in my work to further improve my images.

I think that I also need to work on linking my shoots, in shoots 1 -4 I think that although they show what the landscape is like within the summer and autumn months, they do not explicitly link, and this is something that needs to be worked on. I think that I have achieved some good images however there is no current link, i think that by rectifying this, my project will come together much better.

Where do you see the work progressing (identify future shoots that you would like to do)

I do see my work progressing through the shoots that I am completing. I see that I am getting much better at composing a frame for the image as well as the editing of the images. Previously I have been known to over saturate images, however, I feel that as I am learning more about how to use Lightroom as well as Photoshop, that my images are becoming much better.

I think that my work is being influenced by and is linking too the photographers research that I conducted such as Lee frost.

For my future shoots, I would really like to focus on the changes within the landscapes as well as the landscapes themselves and want to become more experimental with my images.
