Right place Right time


         My Tutor's report......but first!





The above photographs were taken last Saturday, July 7th.  They show the Alfred docks north bridge which carries Tower road across the dock entrance.  This and several others around Birkenhead docks are Rolling Bascule bridges, built between 1928 and 1931 replacing swing bridges which had been used prior to that.  I had been trying to photograph one of the bridges in use for some time, so was glad to be in the right place for once and to have such a perfect sky.


Assignment 2 response.

At the beginning of Clive's report he says of my second assignment;

'Overall technically of a very good standard; demonstrating thoughtful composition with attention to detail and knowledgeable control of exposure and focus'.

I'm very pleased to receive such praise at this stage of the course.  He also writes that;

'You've responded to the pointers I previously gave for this assignment, developing a theme to make a body of work that meets the requirements of the brief while, importantly, making interesting, progressive imagery'.

I could not have wished for more rewarding remarks.  He has some negative comments about some of the images, no more than is to be expected, after all that's how we learn.  He seems to be a good judge, the photographs that get negative or somewhat dismissive comments are the ones that had the least amount of thought and care at the time of taking, they are bland.

Clive finishes his report with this sentence;

'I think you can feel very satisfied with what you've achieved in this assignment'.

What more could I wish for.
