Things I liked:
The location of the shoot was good because there were a lot of things to photograph and the style of the house works well with my entire theme. I liked that this shoot was very structural, focussing on the entire building and its features rather than the smaller details which I plan on shooting in one of my future shoots.
Things to improve:
I need to work on the exposure that my photos are taken on and couldve played around with the shutter speed when shooting the water fountain to get different motions of the water drops. Considering this shoot was mainly focussed on symmetry and the overall look of the house, I should've been more careful with the angle of the camera and not letting it tilt to far to the side, keeping it upright.
Things to extend your idea:
Go more in depth of the details of the house and focus on the smaller features that give the building its personality. Use depth of field and shoot from different angles instead of just shooting straight forward.

Things I liked:
I liekd the range of architectural types that I could get at the gardens but now that I have a clearer idea of what I want to explore in my theme I find that the buildings don't match it. The lighting led to ther ebeing some cool shadows on the buildings which is something that I am focussing on in the theme. I also liked that a lot of the exhibits were very symetrical and had clean lines.
Things to improve:
Go into more depth with the shoot rather than just shooting the buildings straight. Focussed more on the buildings that suited the idea of the board rather than taking photos of everything and hoping that I got enough photos to get at least a few quality ones.

Things I liked:
It was difficult to think of something I could use for a still life shoot for the theme of architecture but I think that the idea of blueprints and building materials worked well with the theme while also being good subject matter to shoot.
Things to improve:
The colours are quite vibrant which doesnt really match with the colours in the use of my other imagery in the theme so I could possibly try dull the colours or convert them into black and white to make them match better.
Things to extend your idea:
Use different lights sources to play around with more shadows from the objects like the hammer and the leveller. Could also take photos without the objects, just focusing on the blueprints as those are key factors in Architecture.

Things I liked:
I liked the use of shade cards that correspond with the colours of the buildings that I am photographing, I like the use of the measuring tape to "measure" different parts of the building.
Things to improve:
I wanted to only use natural light for this shoot but I don't like how the measuring tape cause a small shadow due to my only light source being a window and I wish I had tried using different camera angles rather than focussing the camera straight down.
Things to extend your idea:
Possibly using differen photos in the background and matching the shade cards to whatever colours are in those. Could also use different shade cards that match with the colour of the bushes and flowers in the garden.
