My final images for theme 1 have already been published on the blog link theme-1-final-images
Below see description for those images, as per course requirements:

Image 1 - S1/2  F5.6 ISO200 WB auto
Picture taken at a indoor shoot, I've set up the scene myself, I've used a pair of my own shoes.
Image taken whilst hand holding the camera, and kneeling on the floor. It was taken in a corridor with a lot of artificial light. To achieve different effect I've placed the shoes in a umbrella holder. I've tilted my camera to the side to achieve a interesting angle.
After taking the photograph was transferred onto my laptop and edited in CS5, I only slightly increased contrast and then manually created a light vignette. Image saved onto my laptop,then transferred onto my memory stick for backup. This picture was chosen as one of my final images because I like the angle, the scene placement and details of the shoes. I thinks its an original photograph.

Image 2 - S1/1.3  F5  ISO 100 WB auto
Picture taken outdoor, camera was hand held, neck strap on. This is a pair of my neighbours shoes, I taken the photograph on my way out to another shoot. It was taken in a natural light.
After taking image was transfered from my camera onto the laptop then it was opened in CS5 and the contrast was slightly adjusted to give more details in the concrete floor.Image saved onto my laptop,then transferred onto my memory stick for backup.
I've chosen it for my final image because I like the the details of the concrete and how the light reflects of the shoes.

Image 3 - S1/2  F5.6 ISO 200 WB flash

I've asked one of kids playing football in a local park to pose for this image, parent has given permission for the child to be photographed and image to be used by me. I've asked the child to place his foot on the football to achieve a sport theme. I kept a part of his legs his legs within the frame but made sure the shoes stand out. This is for the viewer to wonder who is the person on the picture.
After taking the photograph was transfered from my camera onto the laptop then it was edited in CS5, converted into grey scale, adjusted shadows, midtones & highlights. Then adjusted sharpness. After that I've created a vignette. Image saved onto my laptop,then transferred onto my memory stick for backup. I've chosen this image as I like the sharpness and details in shoes covered in mud.

I've placed one of the shoe on its side and one upright to achieve a interesting angle and show the height of the heel..
