Leaves

Well, I waited as fast as I could (but not very patiently) for my Module 9 assessment results, and they finally came through today. Almost perfect. I'll take that! I received some very positive feedback from the assessor on my boxing images. Thanks to everyone who commented on those for the assessment.

As I get closer to the end of the course I'm trying to keep, and possibly build, the momentum. Three modules to go, and I spent quite a bit of time this weekend working on Module 10. You may have seen my post on socials asking for feedback on my advertising images. I'm enjoying this module on commercial photography.

I'm sharing an image from the shoot with Cassy a few weeks ago. It was about Seasons, so a shot to represent each season received a different colour treatment. In case it's not obvious in this blended shot (that I edited in four sections) here's the seasons separated with the colour for each.

I made some noise about doing a foliage only design this week, and I was feeling uninspired so I put it off until this afternoon. I had wanted to use the same kind of leaf in different ways, but I didn't end up doing that. I initially wanted to make something low, but I realised that my leaves didn't fit with any of my containers, so I went with this purple glass jug. 

It's difficult to see in this photo, but it's a grape kind of colour. That of course goes with the varieties of Tradescantia that I have (Wandering Jew, Purple Heart and Moses in the cradle) and the Black Diamond Crepe Myrtle. Suddenly, I felt more inspired. It ended up being a bit ratty, but it should stay green and kind of fresh-looking for a while, so it will be a nice addition to my sideboard.
