That's not to say I haven't been busy.
Assignment 3. Submitted in January. I decided my images only required minimal post-processing before submission and I feel this reflects how my technical skills are improving as I work through the course. I was very pleased with my tutor feedback, "You have a good understanding of the functionality of each building and portrayed interesting and poignant photographs in their description. You have expressed well how you feel the buildings have succeeded and the effectiveness of their design. You have also included important features that stand out and how you decided to photograph them. It was a challenge that you have managed very well and produced a fascinating photo journalistic article". While I enjoyed this assignment immensely, it took a long time to research and write up. Submitted pictures are to be found in the Gallery Assignment 3 (link at the top of the blog homepage).

Assignment 4. This has taken a back seat but now the weather is improving I shall endeavour to make a few more trips to Glasgow to get the final images I require. I was interested to read a recent post on the OCA blog by Jose http://www.weareoca.com/photography/photo-manipulations/ which threw me a curve ball regarding my approach to this assignment. More of this in my next post.
Assignment 5. Work is well underway. I took photographs at the Irvine Cyclo-cross in January and was vert flattered when the local paper, The Irvine Herald, invited me to submit phoographs to accompany an article on the event and Walkers Cycling club. They published three of my photographs and it was real buzz to see my pictures in print, even if it was just the local paper. Several competitors have since asked for copies of my photographs.
Met with Susan Walker yesterday and now have the information to start the redesign their promotional brochure. The deadline is March 25th as they wish to have it printed for the Scottish Bike Show on April 16/17th. Nothing like a very tight deadline to focus the mind!
