Optional Photo Activity: Making your creative self portrait

 Photography and Social Media course 

I have been doing through University Tasmania 

Has opened my eyes up a fair bit 

photos can be of any subject 

photos can be a single item 

or a mood board design 

homely items , furry animals ,

everyday life things we come into 

contact with every day 

I am drawn to shadow selfies 

more now than I was before 

if you have teh right light 

your shadow becomes a

picture with a story 

The teachers shared some examples

for us to look at I was drawn to 

the shadow one the most 

it was simple photo , showed 

person was sitting down 

reading and relaxing 

here is my Shadow 

wonder what you can tell 

about my photo

Shadows

Shadows as Selfies 

I love taking Selfies & Photos  

it's nothing for me to have 4000 photos 

on my ph then bam its says no storage 

don't get me wrong

 I own a digital point and shoot camera

which I love it's a tad better

 for distance pic's than my ph camera 

what I didn't realize is 

I can achieve great shots with my

 ph camera

 and can change the 

photos in editing programs 

at the moment

 I am studing a free course through 

Tasmania Uni called 

Photograghy and Social Media 

have learnt heaps along 

the way but 

thanks to this course 

I am taking pic's and uploading

to my blog it's active again always 

did love my blog for sharing my 

craft works now I have 

found a interesting 

way to share my pic's 

Thanks to the Uni teaching Team 

anyway if you have enjoyed my photos 

check back soon 

because I have taken a lot 

over the last week 

tonight I will leave you with a 

shadow pic takes me back to 

being a child when I used 

to make animal shapes

Old & Young Love

Love 

27/4/2017 taken at 11am 

                                              Old and young hands together
                                              I actually took this photo
                                             then opened up tone in my
                                             camera ph (usually Effects )
                                             by changing the amount of light
                                             I was able to darken our hands
                                            and then placed a red heart over the
                                            photo with the drawing option
                                   
                                            Inspiration I loved the way our hands met
                                             so gently but so strong with lots of love
                                              once grown up hands change so much

                                           Inspiration was Mothers Day then
                                              it turned to Grandparent for me

                                                       Sketch

                                           27/4/2017 taken at 6pm

                       
                                          have always wanted to be a artist that could
                                   draw my own images doubt if it will ever happen
                                              but lucky for me my camera ph has
                                            a special effect that makes my photos
                                                          look like a sketch

                                                     Inspiration came to me
                                                        because more photos
                                                    I found on the net where of                                      
                                                people and children feed or hands
                                             Standing up the other night my feet met
                                                   some paws as I looked down
                                             it dawned on me both sets had done a
                                                   lot of walking over a lifetime
                                                   captured it as we where both
                                                       still at the same time

                                     

                                 link I found that inspired me photos of feet

I have set myself a challenge of taking some sort of pic every day and by the end of week or 2 have a digital Journey of photos that says something about myself or family life and home town

todays pic 26/4/2017

                        man’s best friend she is now 7 but always by my side , 
                             I captured the photo with my hand around her 
                                face as she is aging her hair is turning grey ,
                           watching the fire start , my hand and fingers curved 
                                 round her lets your eyes focus on her face line 

                                Pinterest is a great place to spend time searching and looking 

                                          inspirtaion came from here Dog Photos

                                           our dog was so still and peaceful
                                   I decided not to move her but framed her
                                         where she was sitting on the floor

I have been working on Photo Story for Uni unit 

I needed to do a Essay of 200 words for this as well 

enjoy reading my work that goes with my video 

              Colours are beautiful memories

Beautiful Day time to visit my friends Bed and Breakfast Garden, full of colours which take me home and brings me close to my friend.

Blue creates a smile as it’s so cheerful and when I see a parrot it gives the feel of freedom playing above in the green canopy.

Purple a magical colour takes me to Queensland where my friend lives. Strong colourful person whom has been there in so many ways for me.

White brings a bright feeling of happy days of being refreshed. Sliver moon brightly shinning gives me hope Mum is looking down on me and will never leave me.

Natural soft wood colour always brought Mum and I together she loved the country. Told me not to change my natural personally or my happy go lucky approach to life.

 Colours are bright to the eye and mind giving hope of happy days and in time for healing. Colours are all round me when I see the beauty of flowers, trees, birds and nature it reminds me of my Mum and beautiful friend. Colours are beautiful and my Mum loved flowers because they were pretty. My friend is beautiful like nature.
