		<description><![CDATA[The final exercise of part one is an exercise in cropping.  I’ve selected three images ‘from the archives’ for this, and produced two or three ‘alternative’ versions through cropping the original. Each has an explanation of why I’ve chosen to crop them in that manner. First off is a landscape from Wales (which has also [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This next exercise is generally an exercise in ‘habit breaking’ and to get me to think about using a vertical format as well as horizontal.  It requires taking 20 vertically framed shots and then 20 horizontally framed shots of the same subject. Overall this doesn’t feel like an exercise I’ve gained much from &#8211; again [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this exercise the objective is to look at how the frame is divided using the horizon, and what effect this has.  Weather and location has not be favourable for obtaining horizon images for this exercise, so I’ve improvised using a shot from Spain last year, and cropping it with the horizon at different points.

		<description><![CDATA[In this exercise I’ve selected six photographs from my archives.  The objective was to identify how the balance works in each image &#8211; that is, what tones, colours or arrangements within the image are the main elements, and how do they balance within the image. On each image I’ve identified the main elements which I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to capture my thoughts following the last exercise. Since I completed this exercise I’ve found myself more conscious of the depth within an image and have opted to use my wide-angle lens to inject a sense of distance or scale which wouldn’t be achieved with a telephoto lens.  It’s allowed me to think [...]]]></description>
