Assignment five was a very difficult composition for me as I had so many great idea’s my ideal photograph would of been of an Arabic Grandfather and Grandson in the traditional Middle Eastern dress however due to the Ethics and Traditions I was unable to composethis picture, however it is still my aim to take this picture.

So the abstract picture is what I submitted... is there anyone else at this level of the course? How areyou finding it?

Whilst you will all think I have “The World As My Oyster”its proving very difficult to actually take photos here in Kuwait... After 8years here and enrolling on the course last week, I didn’t appreciate really how difficult it would be. All though there are some amazing architectural potential for photography I have to remember the Ethics and Culture of the MiddleEast. It is very offensive to the Local people to indirectly take pictures ofthem.

Assignment three today has been like a undercover mission...I have been on the roof top, deep in a car park and hanging out the bedroom window to complete this assignment. Thankfully I have a Mosque just 200m from my house which has allowed me to complete my night/low light photography today. I have found the Desert factor toalso be a major issue, it always has been and that is the dust..!

I am looking forward to the rest of the course and I alreadyfeel that I have made some great progress with my Nikon D40.
