On the 28th and 29th September,
some of the Fourth Years took part in a two day 'Photography Workshop' with Tim
Durham. It was a fun filled experience that gave us an insight into the world
of photography.
Over the course of two days we learnt about the art of photography. On
both mornings we studied Tim Durham's photos, analysing and evaluating the
features of his photographs. It was a difficult but interesting challenge that
made us look at photography in a different light.
Tim Durham supplied us with cameras to go out into the Balbriggan area
and take our own photos. He set us some specific tasks to do while we were out,
such as, taking photos with a particular focus on perspective and colour. We
all had the same conditions to work in such as the location, time and camera
quality. We had lots of photographs to critique when we arrived back into
school. We shared our thoughts and opinions as we looked through each other’s
photographs.
Indeed it is safe to say they were all of a very high standard and extremely
thought provoking. We learnt how to draw inspiration from our surroundings and
change everyday objects, landscapes and buildings into something more
intriguing.
Many thanks to Tim Durham for providing the workshops in the school for
the past four weeks, they were great fun for all who participated.
