First Assignment

We have been given our first assignment in the Composition and Design course I am currently enrolled in at Algonquin College - Landscape Photography. We have to take two sets of photographs (night and day) in both a rural and urban setting. As I mentioned over on The Great Abyss, the assignment itself does not seem difficult but finding the right locations is proving to be quite troublesome. I have started a poll over on the right hand side for whether or not a cemetery landscape would constitute a rural landscape scene. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. I intend on getting the shot anyway, as well as a backup shot, but feel that the cemetery one (depending on how it turns out) would be vastly different from what other students would shoot.

Gamble II

Another shot of Gamble's tombstone in Beechwood Cemetery. I took this when my photography class had a field trip to the cemetery. I wasn't feeling that great as I was pretty sick, so I went for something easy, something I knew I could get a great shot from.

*Note* I am using this photo for my photography course at Algonquin College.

Fountain View

Another shot from Beechwood Cemetery. This one is of the bird fountain with the crematorium in the background. Again I think the changing colours of the leaves add a bit more drama to the scene - maybe it's just me.

*Note* I am considering using this photo for my photography course at Algonquin College so any and all advise, comments and/or suggestions you have about it would be greatly appreciated.

Gamble I

This photograph was taken on my first visit to Beechwood Cemetery here in Ottawa. I like it because of the bright fall colours in thebackground trees which I thinks makes this typical picture of a tombstone a little different.
