7th November - Stag do

A beautiful crisp autumnal day for a walk in Richmond Park.

31st October - All Hallow's Eve

OK, so it's not a Halloween photo but it was taken on the day. This is one of the pictures I took to title the sculpture page of my art sketchbook. It's nothing more complicated than nine bits of Blu-tak lit by a couple of torches but it's got more relevant impact than me writing "Scultpure" across the top of the page.

27th October - Lots of me

Does this count as a photo in your book? It actually took less effort than my pirate. It's a tricky one. Manipulating pictures in any way more dramatic than brightness and contrast can cause all sorts of people to get het up about how it's cheating and not really photography. Who knows?

Unsurprisingly, I took this for my art sketchbook, to go in the ICT section (also a convenient way of incorporating a few examples of work I'd produced in three of the previous tutorials). I don't think it's going to make it into the book, though.

26th October - The Very Hungry Tortoise

Another art sketchbook photo. Are you sick of them yet? This one was taken for use in the 'Collage' pages and is part of a lesson plan inspired by Eric Carle's collage techniques.

25th October - Blobby patterns

Make of what you will of this photo. I'm not going to say what it is, but I will say that I really quite like it.

15th October - Give him a hand

Another art sketchbook photo. This time it's not of my own work but a couple of my peer's. It has been created by wrapping on of their arms in clingfilm, then sellotaping the clingfilm up so that it takes on a hard shell. The shell is then cut off and taped back up to create a free-standing sculpture.

I took my camera into the tutorial, knowing that we'd be working on sculpture and therefore unable to take my work home with me, but on seeing the Canon 450 the lecturer pounced on it and made me the official group photographer, responsible for cataloging the group's work!

10th October - Leaf me alone.

It's been so long since I've written on the blog that I've forgotten if I've made that same bad pun on any of the other photos.

We took a little trundle up to Wimbledon Common, which was in the throws of beautiful autumnal colours and I captured this coloured fern standing out nicely against its green backdrop.
