Update

I’ve found it a struggle recently to get my head in to photography with the worries of pregnancy and all the appointments that come along with it.

Photography is still something I want to pursue, I’ve just struggled to find the time whilst I was working full time. I have now broken up for maternity leave but obviously that brings its own upcoming events.

In the last few weeks my parents have had a puppy. I took a few opportunities to take photographs of the new addition to the family. I also used the opportunity to experiment with editing the photos. I used an app called ‘snapseed’ for this.

I was trying to drown out the clutter of a bright colour / distracting background. So, in both photos I blurred the outer edges and made the shadows darker.

I took the photos while he was sleeping. As a lively little pup, it’s pretty hard to get a good photo while he’s playing. Perhaps that’s something I can use for part 3, to experiment with shutter speeds.

I really do want to pick back up where I was and find my love for photography again. I think I need to rethink my approach and perhaps realise completing it as quick as I first thought I could, isn’t going to happen. The course may take me longer than the 3-4 years I was hoping, but I would still like to get through it and my aim is still to achieve my degree.
