Shallow DOF

Deep DOF

Freeze moment

Isolated blur

Building Images - Steve Lovett

The Wharenui, Tiki and Kiwi are all things that I identify with now and from childhood. I like the layered effect, and although the images are visible and they overlap its clear what they still are.

I like the use of colour in this image especially the splashes of vibrant colour and the soft pastels. I also like the layered effect and the repetitive shapes. I like the colour green and black and also circles so this was another reason I choose this image.

This image reminds me of Christmas, it has a wintery Christmas nice feel about it to me. The image of the tree is solid and I imagine the blotches of colour as the twinkly fuzzy lights and the background looks like there could be snow.

Surface Research
As the frond grows from a seed with the help of sunlight, rain and nutrient rich soil so will my knowledge grow.

My time management information.

My time management schedule.
4 weeks in and I've realised a few things. I've had to get up earlier, I'm not using my self directed time wisely, It's hard to juggle Whanau life with Course life, the computer side of things is still freaking me out :D but I'm still enjoying myself.
