From the experience of this exercise I am learning as much about editing and posting as about the effects of the actual requirements of the work.

As I look through the images, I can now see the effect of sunlight and shade, of how one gives contrast and form, while the other more diffused light flattens the images and 'quietens' colour.

It's a bit like the 'Goldilocks effect': sometimes the colour temperature is too cold. Then it is too warm. And sometimes it is just right!

I'm also learning that to have an easier posting and blogging experience, I shall have to 'drill down' with my learning with the Aperture editing software.

And the last thing: this all takes a long time to prepare, carry out and record... Maybe when I receive my congratulatory letter from whoever is the reigning monarch is when I shall also get my degree!
