This was my first attempt that didn't turn out too well.
Should I have Saturated the above picture with more colour like I did with this one?

Street shots
Looking through my blog I thought I put this up my Street shots, sorry if i'm putting this up a tad late. I find landscape photography really hard to do, because i'm more comfortable create scenes from my own ideas, with landscape everything is already laid out for you to work with and it's hard to pick a specific spot to hone on to.
I took this while we were walking around Wolverhampton and I thought the street looked quite warm and inviting even though the day was cold and quite dull. I went to Gimp to try and recreate how I thought the street should look. I altered the saturation and tried to make the corners look like there were light leaks at the corners. I'm not too sure it looks right. I think I may invest in a lomo camera, because I want to test some ideas on an actual Holga camera to see if they would work well. Can we develop coloured film at college?

Lizzy, sorry, can't develop color at college. There is a photo lab in Mere Green: Frosts. Palm Labs in Digbeth: 69 Rea St, Birmingham. Or you can look online for labs to send your film off to get processed. I think your rendition to the image is much stronger than the original. The dark edges move us down the frame. I can see that you have a very different sense of composition when you are shooting landscape, or scenes. Perhaps you need to set yourself a challenge to overcome your barriers to landscape shooting. Its another tool, another technique. You should find a comfort zone within it.
