New York New York!

On the 22nd of February 2014 I traveled to New York City, USA on a trip with my university. I feel it is important to include this in my research because this trip really helped my in terms of improving my work. The images above were all taken by myself during my trip to NYC and I am really pleased with the results. Up until now, I have never really had the confidence to play with my digital camera. I sometimes struggle to understand how it works and never quite got the quality I wanted. However, this trip forced me to experiment with my digital camera, to understand the lenses and how it works, how to get the correct focus, shutter speed and aperture in order to create an image I am truly happy with. Thanks to the New York trip (and the huge high rise buildings there) and my experimentation with focus and various techniques, I feel much more confident in using my digital camera to create my work, to refine details in my images and to frame them correctly. So now I need to go out, shoot and see what results I get now my confidence in experimentation has been boosted!
