Here you will see my final edited photos.
There will be notes from me underneath each picture.
Ground Level Shot:
I created this photo by laying these three transformers figures into place and laid down to take the photo.
I was trying to recreate a scene of three transformers vehicles cruising together and was success.
I learnt how realistic this micro-scaled picture could look once edited a bit to make each toy look more realistic and reflective.
Next time I would try to get more of the figures in focus.
Close up:
I got this figure and placed it onto a plank of wood holding in the garden while keeping it under cover by other plants, giving it more shade effects.
I was trying to get an up-close view of this vehicle to show off it's detail. This was quite successful.
I learnt that this angle shot can give you a lot of information but still be very simple.
Next time I would take a close up of something else just to try and experiment with different ideas.

Shooting strait up:
I just stood next to this tree to take this photo.
I was trying to have the camera facing strait up the side of the tree. Though due to the unevenness of the roots and lighting, it was quite challenging to create what I was intending.
I learnt that it is hard to look for inspiration to take a shooting strait up angle photo that is interesting.
Next time i would try to stand closer to the tree the make the camera angle face up more as the roots were making it hard to keep balance.

Overshot:
I had to stand about half a metre away from this plant to get the shot right.
Trying to keep my shadow out of the frame was a challenge but i accomplished it nonetheless.
I learnt that lighting while taking photos and trying to rid shadows is a very tricky business.
Next time I would take a picture of something else to see other things from birds eye view.

Creative Shot:
I decided to take a photo of this reflective water fountain, therefore taking a picture of the picture being taken.
I learnt that when I took this picture of the rounded fountain that the image turned out not to have been effected but the reason is still unknown why.
Next time I would just try to think of another creative shot idea.

High Angle:
I used a similar technique to my overshot, while trying not to get my shadow in frame.
I was trying to take a picture of the stumps with the help of the shadows, showing you the angle of the shot.
As I this shot was quite similar to the overshot, I did not learn much, if anything.
Next time I would try to take a picture of another item just to differentiate the difference between my overshot and high angle.

Low Angle:
I placed the toy on the top of this stump and placed the camera on the garden floor and tilted it up.
I was trying to make the toy look not realistic, but important or significant.
I also learnt that trying to focus the camera on cirtain

Long Shot:
I placed the transformer near the tree and wooden end of the grass area.
I was trying to create the look of this off-road vehicle driving in uneven terrain, which I believe was successful.
In this image I learnt what a long shot is.

Extreme Long Shot:
I decided to take an extreme long shot of my transformer in the same position it was in for the long shot i took previously. I think that the idea of the extreme long shot of the scene i chose for the long shot was quite successful.
Here I learnt what an extreme long shot is.
Next time i would look for more inspiration of things to take photos of at least.

Full Shot:
I just had to squat down to get my camera in position to take this photo.
I was attempting to just make the vehicle look like it's strait up front and centre.
Here I learnt what a full shot is.

Mid Shot:
As I was out on my first photo run, I tried to take a photo of this tree. Though I could not get the tree all in frame, so once I was notified on more types of shots to take, I decided to use this as my mid shot.
I learnt that unused photos can always come in handy.
Next time I would like to take a mid shot of something else.

Close Up:
I took a picture of one of the transformer toys I had on me at the time.
I was trying to make the toy look more realistic and lifelike which in my opinion, I succeed.
Here I did not learn much as I had already done a close up extreme close up.
Next time I would like to continue to take close ups of transformers toys in their vehicular modes.

Extreme Close Up:
I took this photo by just zooming into the previous photo.
Here I did what I previously attempted to do, which was to make these figures look real.
I also learnt how easy it is to create an extreme close up.
Next time I would close up a different item/object.

Overshot:
This is my second overshot. Though it was blurry there was nothing to my knowledge that could fix that.
I was attempting to take the photo without my shadow in frame, which was successful.
I learnt hear how important little to no wind, depending on the camera can help with the focus of objects in a picture.
Next time I would try to get the flower plant to stay still.

High Angle:
Here I decided to leave this toy where it was when I took the close ups of it and just took more photos of it in that position.
I just tried to make it look like this search and rescue vehicle was driving through the country for unknown reasons.
Here I did not learn much for high angles as I had already learnt most things there are to learn about high angles.
Next time I would like to take this high angle shot from a different side of the vehicle.

My Third Full Shot:
This one was not required but I took and edited it anyway because of just how real it looked, and how, almost intense the photo is. Which is what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
Here as this was the third or fourth full shot I took I did not learn anything here.

Low Angle:
Here I placed my Optimus Prime toy on a table facing the end of it diagonally.
What I was trying to do here was recreate the angle that is used in the scene that Optimus Prime scans this truck and transforms into it in the 2007 movie as seen below.

I did not learn much as I had already shot one or two low angles.
Next time I would try to take the picture with less shadow in it.

Eye Level:
My final photo. i found this one to be a little bit cheesy, as this is an eye level angle shot and shows mostly just the windows of the truck making them look like they could be substitute for eyes.
Here I was trying to be creative while still using the eye level shot. Plus the editing that I did to this photo made the engine hood look very reflective, metal and most importantly to me, realistic.
I learnt that having creativity and this type of angle can go very well together.
Next time I would try to keep all the gaps between certain hinges and other parts closed and not visible in the photo to make it look that bit more realistic.
