1/15 F-Stop Iso 100. I love this one but I wish I had of put the main tree in more accurate focus to create a much stronger sense in depth in field. I love the colours in the background through the silhouetted trees.
1/30 F5.6 Iso 100

1/30 F5.6 Iso 100.

I love the colours in this one and there are many different textures. Again a slow shutter speed and big aperture. I'm not so sure about the tree to the far left, is it too distracting or does it balance it?
I had a go with colour film, using a medium format camera (Mamiya RB67). I walked around Hurst Wood in Burnley and captured several autumn shots. This was one of my favourites, I like the angle, your eye is drawn up the tree trunk and then around the warm tones leaves. I used a slow shutter speed of 1/8 of a second and F-Stop of 4.0. Iso was 100.
I produced this one in a studio environment. I used coloured gel's over the lighting to create stronger, warmer tone variation as opposed to the silver ring and clear crystal on a plain white background. I particularly liked the shadow, it appears to show movement and works well with the fiery tones that surround it. The facets look good, these stand out because I used a black gel, which shone up from underneath the table.

I composed this image for a fashion portrait task. I used studio lighting, specifically daylight flash, softbox and honeycomb. I wanted to show off the oversized eyelashes. I like the light overtaking on the left and bright expression.
