Selection Techniques and Change of Plans

At university today i learnt two different techniques for narrowing down a large selection of photographs. Physically looking at samples of the image and giving them a rating out of 5 was effective because you have to keep in mind the intention of the project, therefore possibly having to exclude images that are good but not necessarily effective for the project. Viewing the images on a screen in Lightroom allows you to give them a rating out of 5 stars and to flag favourite outcomes. Both techniques are effective and i found them to be of great help in narrowing down my photos to the best outcomes for the project intention.

After this session i had another look and think about the collection of photographs i obtained from my two visits, and i feel that my project will be successful enough without having to conduct another visit to Woodside. My plan was to capture photos on the reptile handling display and the bird show display that they put on, but i feel positive that my photos of the tigers, white wolves, birds, lemurs, meerkats and Siberian lynx will be enough to reach the best grade that i can achieve.

So i will not be conducting another visit to Woodside, therefore allowing me more time to do sketchbook work, compare prints, print finals and mount.
