Project 9: Change.

   After a lot of thought and and a good re-read of what both projects are asking I've finally decided to have a go at this one, I originally wanted to have a crack at one of the projects in this section because I thought it'd help me with my major project because I've got a section in that where I'll be focusing on people within the village I live in but on a third read of the project layout I discovered that although I could look at changes in people over a period of time it also gave me the chance to look at landscapes and how they change over a period of time which is something that I'm far happier doing. Don't get me wrong I know it would have been better pick a subject that I'm not as versed in and I have every intention of looking more closely at social documentary in the future its just right now I'd don't feel as ready as I like to be to start looking at this form of photography.

  So what exactly am I going to look at in this project, well I thought I have a go at looking how the season's affect a landscape. This clearly isn't going to be a project that I'll be completing right now but as I produce the seasonal images I'll be updating this entry. What I'm going to be looking for in a landscape is something that is going to show good seasonal change in colour and mood, luckily for me living in the National Forest and being near to Cannock Chase there's plenty of options when it comes to finding these kinds of landscapes.

Autumn.

   Above is the view that I'm thinking of going with for a couple of reasons, first off this area of heath land on the Chase goes through some obvious colour changes throughout the year as the heather flowers and the Silver Birch goes through its seasonal changes. Another thing I like about this view is the good depth that's provided by the three birches as you have one in the foreground, another about in the middle and then the last which is way off in the background. To look the view right now you might not think its that special but I'm pretty confident that when all four images are seen together that they'll work alot better as a whole.
