I felt that although the meeting was productive, it would have been useful to gain some feedback about the proposal. Throughout the meeting, there was discussion regarding the direction that my FMP project could take, possibly being subverted to a project about the sea. It was suggested that research should be directed towards maps and charts.

Halsewell was wrecked against these cliffs, in January 1786 during a southwesterly storm. Storm Franklin provided the same conditions with the wind blowing a force 8-9 with the sea state having 4-5m waves. The wave crashed into the cliffs, some reaching 30m or more.

These conditions do not always give the best conditions for photography and although taking them was fun and presented problems I am not sure they are technically good enough.

The project is assessed on two learning outcomes, the first is sustainability and the second professionalism.

Please feel free to review the proposed project.

The above image shows how the scale of the bridge is emphasised by the boat going under the bridge. We all perceive the size of the boat which allow us to comprehend the bridge. Using a smaller focal length nearer to the bridge would distort and reduce the size and give a false perspective, however, that is possibly what we would more relate to with the more common focal lengths.

This principle is something that I feel is often overlooked, or often forgotten. I know that I am guilty of this. Remember all the features of the lens that you use.

Feininger’s principle lens, which he discusses, is 40″ which would work out just over 1000mm which is certainly not typical for landscape photography, Maybe more at home with wildlife or sports.

The landscape images stand out not because they are of new things or locations but because he has moved away repetitive images of things we have all seen.

Feininger also utilises the long focal lengths in the creation of more abstract art in the miniature utilising shells and other small objects, again showing that a long lens can be used for more than one application.

I take from this the reminder that we have the tools and remember to use them to their most.

The project I planned to work on would have a maritime theme about shipwrecks and wrecking. After the presentation, through the following discussion, some elements were removed to bring more focus and cohesiveness to the planned project. The original idea was too broad may be the grounds for two or three projects.

Colonialism was raised by CP and this aspect is one element that will add to the project that I had failed to include. An example book provided was Anarchy by William Dalrymple, and the work of Olivia Arthur – Stranger was also quoted. Further artists to consider would be Max Pinckers and Michal Iwanowski.

The advantage of the presentation is that this lays the foundation for the production of the FMP Proposal, which is the first piece of graded work that will be assessed against the learning outcomes LO5 Sustainability and LO7 Professionalism.

The next meeting is in the diary for feedback on the proposal that is due in on 14/02/2022

Anthony has a strong portfolio where a great deal of trust and acceptance has been gained to embed with the individuals in his project. I feel that many of the projects have boundaries that start to cross blending into more of a major project with chapters.

God’s country reminds me of Sally Manns work with her family however this work is harsh and abrupt.

At present, I don’t feel that this is work that can directly inform current work but I feel that the work stands strong enough to make notes for future reference.
