For this challenge, I headed down to Lighthouse Park with my mum and my dog, mostly because my sisters were unwilling to help me and they were going on a walk anyways; so I could sneak in some pictures if I came. I chose this area (specifically the beach) because it provided the look of an open space with just rocks, sky and the ocean depending on the angle of the photo, which gave ample opportunity for "small human" pictures. My favourites of these are the first two rock photos, even though they are very similar. I love their simplicity, and how they almost work together in being similar, and how they show that they work in either black and white or muted colour. I wouldn't have originally chosen to have my dog accompany my mum in the photos, but he was adamant about not leaving her side. I feel like in the first photo, this adds a little bit of depth to it, as they seem to be looking at each other and communicating something. I definitely think that these two were successful in fulfilling the challenge, but I am disappointed in that I didn't give myself enough time to have more different photos, and if I did this again I would love to have it as a series in set in an urban environment, to show the how large humanity's achievements have become and how we usually don't notice them.
On a different note, the third picture was thrown in because I needed a third picture and the others became too similar- this one was accidental, when I was checking my settings. I only noticed that it kind of fit the theme while editing the others. It could use some work and doesn't fulfill the challenge to it's full potential (i.e. not full body), but I feel that it does still fit in some way, with the large trees surrounding the (kinda) small figure.
