Thoughout my portfolio my images focus at lines and contours. These are just the photos that I presented to the class. On the disk there is over 150 photos.

Summary
What I liked about Digital Fine Art Photography?
What I disliked about Digital Fine Art Photography?
What I learnt in Digital Fine Art Photography?
- the assessment of favourite famous photographers because it made me look at the different styles of photography and acknowledge what type of photographer I might want to become
- that the portfolio was open and we could make our own decision on what and how to present it
What I disliked about Digital Fine Art Photography?
- As I totally repel technology (computers and the Internet) I struggled with the online assessments. (I would have liked it if we got to chose either blogspot or flickr or if just blogspot was used)
What I learnt in Digital Fine Art Photography?
- how to use Adobe Photoshop (although I'm still trying to get the hang of it)
- different styles of photography
- different cameras; lens and abilities
- aperture and shutter and how to alter the speed to create different images
- how to re size images for Internet use
- different historical photographers

Portfolio Idea Four
These images represent another idea that I have considered for my portfolio. They include photos taken at Eden and at the Dandenong Ranges.
Famous Photographers
Our assignment was to chose our favourite photographer and share his/her works with the rest of the class. The photographer I had chosen was Alvin Langdon Coburn, but here are some of the other photographers that were mentioned.
Cartier Bresson- was a French photographer who was considered to be the founder of modern photojournalism. He used a Leica 35mm camera and mainly took candid images, like the one you see to the left (http://www.lacasapark.com/la/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/cartier-bresson-hyeres1.jpg).
Kyle Humphrey- is a 20 year old photographer from North Carolina coast. His works include portraits, landscapes and images of clay people. Although he is a fairly young photographer and has only been taking images for a couple of years Humphrey has won multiple awards for his works (such as the North Carolina Aquariums 2010 for his image 'striped bass' featured below
Anne Geddes- is an Australian born photographer who has made her mark on the world by photographing images of children. In 1988, Anne's image of her daughter standing in a tutu (Image unable to locate) appeared in a local magazine in Auckland. This image sparked an interest in what was at the time a very different style of portraiture. After a short time as a wedding photographer Anne decided to specialise in children's portraiture.

Bresson had wrapped his camera up in black tape to make it inconspicuous and preferred not to use the flash as he saw this as impolite.
He photographed in black and white.

Although he is a fairly young photographer and has only been taking images for a couple of years Humphrey has won multiple awards for his works (such as the North Carolina Aquariums 2010 for his image 'striped bass' featured below
and the North Carolina Coastal Federation photography contest). Humphrey's style of photography is very modern, he is potentially a photographer to remember in the future .

Portfolio Idea Two
These are just some of the images that I have taken in consideration for my portfolio. These images were taken in both Melbourne city and Hobart city.
This image was taken from the top of Rialto tower. 
I like the contrast between old and new, when looking at the buildings, that is illustrated in this image. The word 'forum' and the power cable that runs through this image adds a certain pizazz to the image.
This image was taken on one of the main streets of Hobart city. I like the rail in front and the lamps that continue right down the street. This image reminds me of a little country town although it is the main city of Tasmania.

Portfolio Idea Three
Another idea of mine for my portfolio was to play around with lighting. These are some of the image that I have taken. These images were taken in Eden (first two) and at Hobart airport (last image).
