I've used the hose in the fish pond at Caught Preston the third time and created an abstract photo. 

This is a photo of the indoor fish pond with lots of colour, light and reflection which I've captured.

Dear Caryline

Thank you for teaching me Photography at Manukau Institute of Technology this year. I've learnt a lot and enjoyed myself. I've enjoyed doing my exercises outside taking photos of people. I've learnt to change the aperture and shutter speed on my camera.

Big Thank You.

Love from William.
