After reading through the notes and the book I was highly influenced by photographs that were taken for artistic purposes, rather than to just show the flower. I liked how she concentrated on one part of the flower that stood out to her. I found that this can be called differential focus, which gives a more artistic interpretation of a flower as it was focused on a small part, using a large aperture. 

I also took note of the colour wheel, which we have learnt about in class before now, and reading it in the book reminded me of it's purposes.

Colours adjacent are harmonious

Colours opposite contrast

When taking photographs, watch out for dominant colours, and make sure to use them effectively. This would work well if you were to photograph a red flower on a green background, as they contrast, and the flower jumps out as red is a dominant colour. This wouldn't work if it was reversed. 

I tried some of the techniques I have written notes about for myself.

I have taken these photographs keeping in mind -
