Live On Location Part 1

My plan for the summer project is to take photographs of woodland areas. 

My plan for my first shoot is to go to a local farm, called Wast Hills Farm, where there is a wooded area nearby. I will be doing this shoot on the 31st of August, it is supposed to be highs of 22 degrees. I am going to use my digital camera with my kit lens and my zoom lens. I do not need to ask permission to take my photographs as the area near by is a public footpath. I am also going to take an umbrella with me as it has rained in the past week and I am going with someone who can assist me and hold the umbrella if it does rain. I am going to take my photographs in the morning/midday as the sun will be at it's highest and will shine through the tree tops. I have also planned to wear suitable clothes and shoes as this is a potential health and safety issue. 

The photos I took are not as good as I previously imagined whilst planning. The day I went the sky was extremely overcast and did not change throughout the day, as I waited until the afternoon to take photographs as I thought the weather might be better by then. I had walked there beforehand earlier in the year and thought that the forest and fields were more exciting than they actually were, so when I got back and looked at the photographs I had took I wasn't as pleased with the outcomes as I thought I'd be, maybe if it had been sunny and brighter the photographs would have looked better. When editing my photographs I changed the levels to give more contrast and texture. I also added a bit of clarity and vibrance.
