How To MindMap

In photography we did a big group exercise on making a mind map. We were all given a starting word (our group's was Light) and we had to do a huge mind map, connecting as many ideas as we can and thinking about the word in lots of different ways. We did this in four groups, then stuck the mind maps together and connected as many of the points from the different mind maps as we could, turning into ONE BIG MIND MAP! It was a really good exercise to get us thinking outside the box.

Photographs of Interest


I really like this piece because of the different areas of scenery and the different textures in them. I like the contrast between the dark sand and the light sea. The remnants of the pier sticking out of the ocean is really quite captivating. I really love looking at it. I  can't describe what it is exactly that makes this so facinating.


This photo is lovely. I just love the way the main girl has been captured. It's almost as if you can tell exactly what she is thinking and feeling from this one photo. She looks so apathetic and there's such attitude in the way she is standing; it's almost as if she is an older woman than a young girl. It's really... captivating.


I love the overall composition of this photograph. The background is very interesting. I think the reflections in the puddle and the ripples around the ladder are brilliant. Then there's the man jumping over the water. I love the contrast between him and the background. In the background, you can clearly see the detail, however the jumping man is simply a silhouette. This gives the character a sense of mystery, which makes the whole photo really interesting.

The Letter C

For our introductory task in photography, we were each given a letter. And, in groups, we had to find objects and places that began with our letter. My letter was C.
