Week 1
1. The branches lead the eye from the top and bottom left corners and also the right bottom corner. There is negative space in the top right corner which helps draw attention to the branches. I took this shot because I liked the skeletal branches with the last leaves on the tree. I did not use a filter because I wanted it to look natural. I used lcinstafamous for this # so that the group would notice it, I don’t think the # communicates my feelings thoughts or experience so I went back and added the #winter in the comments.
2. This shot is well balanced and uses symmetry. The tree is in the centre with a dog, sofa and curtain on each side. The image fills the frame. I took this image because I wanted to send a Christmas vibe. At first, I only used the college hashtag but later went back and added #golden retriever and #christmastree to see if I could create more likes.
3.This image fills the frame well with a large spherical sculpture taking up most of the frame I took this through the shop window and captured my reflection in the right-hand corner. In the top right corner, there are leading lines on the ceiling which help draw attention back to the sculpture. I did not need to use a filter because I liked the colours the way they were. I used #blessed because it’s a picture of Louis Vuitton art instillation in the front of a shop window. I wrote #blessed as a joke as if I was buying Louis Vuitton. I now realise that if I had used#Louis Vuitton I might have got lots of interest from the brand followers.

4. I took this image when I played packman on the arcade machine At the National Science and Media Museum. I wanted to communicate a retro vibe. I used the Aden filter to add to the retro mood. I used these # because it would draw more gaming people to the post. I think this post was effective in gaining interest and communicating my message.

5. I captured this shot whilst waiting for a train from Huddersfield to Leeds. I took this image because there were lots of leading lines drawing the eye to the tunnel. The bottom left corner has negative space and the row of white lights also lead to the tunnel. The image makes good use of geometric shapes and lines. I took this image to communicate where I had been. I didn’t use a filter because I wanted to record a true moment. I just used #lcinstafamous. I think it would have been better if I had more interest if I had put #trainspotting or #Leeds. I will add these in the comments.
6. I took this image of my punchbag from outside the garage. The subject is in the centre of the frame. I was disappointed with this post because the image is not very clear. I think I should have used the Juno filter because it would have altered the blurry light at the top of the image. I think my hashtags were effective for this post and they communicate an inspiring message.
7.I took this image of one of our xmas trees to communicate a xmas vibe. The tree is in the middle of the frame and the lights keep the focus on the tree. I did not use a filter for this image. The #merrychristmas communicates the message behind my image well.
