 White Balance Images Here are  just a few images from todays lab. As you can see , the colour difference is incredibly noticeable. This is because I used different Pre-set white balance modes. my second image is using Fluorescent and the third one is using shaded. 

3 points in relation to  Photographic style  It's important to remember you won't immediately find your style in photography. Taking photos after photos and getting the key practise will get you steps closer to discovering your style. knowing your style and sticking to it is important. When someone looks up your images there should be a consistent feel.  patience is key to finding your style 

 Nicholas Murray  1920 , a friend suggested to Nicholas to open his own studio. That he soon did. he started taking photos of everybody , actors, dancers, film stars, politicians, and writers.  Nicolas never was too generous letting natural light or a light from a lamp into his work apart from the one lamp. his photographs were quite plain. he had most his models sitting right in the centre of the image rather than off to the side a bit. Most of his work were portrait photos. His exhibitions were a mix between black and white along with bold colours. He took images of women from different backgrounds. In 1931, Nicholas had a contract with Time magazine to do coloured front covers , during this time Nick became one of the leading practicioners of color photography.

   This is one shot I took out of 24 that I had to take while standing in the same position, I carefully watched the bird to try get that 'perfect' shot.  I took it using shutter speed. This photo had to include an object in one the corners. I captured my object in the top right hand corner. I feel it gives a lovely feeling of calmness to the image. For this image I had to recreate an image very similar to one from the internet. Here I picked white and purple flowers... If you look closely you'll see a bird flying into the water. This action shot is rather nice.. this is my scenic photo , where I captured a lake and nature at its finest. Here you can see my underexposure photo. I lit newspaper on fire outside and I was delighted with how the photo came out. The image is dark in colour because I made sure to underexpose the image, meaning not much natural light being caught. What a calm/mysterious feeling I get from looking at this photo.. This is a second photo of the sub...
