Hey, I hope everybody is doing alright! Glad to see everybody so busy with the assignments.
Here's my stuff from week 2!

First of all, thanks Amit for the great videos! I found those very insightful.

I ran into some problems while doing these, first, my visual library concerning the subject is really poor. I had a look at refs here and there, but it will probably take some time to build upon it. Resulting from this I somehow felt very insecure and sometimes overwhelmed with applying everything from the lectures. Most of the time I felt I didn't really manage to get across the scenes and their atmosphere I had in mind. For number 3 for example I wanted to have a sense of loneliness, so I choose the wide field and initially I wanted to depict the play of light and shadow from a cloudy sky on the ground. I feel like I lost all my steam after number 1 and 2, and I suddenly ended up with these wide gaps in the picture I didn't know what to do with, so they all feel a little boring to me. Also, edges....I still need to find a way to manage these better.
On the other hand, this stuff is really far, far off my comfort zone so I also feel really good while doing these, because I feel like I'm learning a lot. I probably sound really confused XD Anyway, sorry for the long wall of text, just wanted to share some of my thoughts!
