250 word reflection

This week I finished off my black and white project. We got our grades back from when we first submitted it and I got a pass mark, which I was quite disappointed with. So I started to improve by reading through what I had put and going in to more depth in each part, as some of it didn’t have enough detail. I also when into some techniques that I could use like dodging and burning, basically dodging is when you can brighten one part of an image to make it stand out and burning is when you make one part of an image darker. I also looked at tinting which is where you add colour to black and white images. The next part, which I looked at, was solarizing; this is where you change around the tonal range by making the lighter areas darker and the darker areas lighter. I also edited a few of my images to show these processes. Overall I now feel like I have done fairly good and feel that my work could get a merit, if not I will do more work on it when I can. I would like to push it up to distinction but I need to do a little bit more on it to get a distinction. On one of my comparisons I went on to talk about tonal ranges within my images like in one photo had a similar tonal range which made a difference when changed to black and white.
