Street Shots 2

Argh, blogger is so annoying! I tried to undo some typing on my last post and it deleted the whole thing!!

I took these shots at the bottom of Slade Rd. The weather was quite dull and dreary, so I didn't think the images would stand out well if they were in colour. Taking influence from the Wille Doherty exhibition we went to when we went to Wolverhampton, I did the shots in Black and White because the contrast in them made the images stand out alot more and drew you in.


 I think this was the best image that I took. The monochrome look really helps to set the scene. The block in the middle is the first thing that draws you in. the leaves scattered around it, the pillars that keep the scene contained. It all fells empty, but there is alot of info in there to create your own narrative.
 I could have composed this one better. I don't think there is alot going on here and maybe the mid-tones could be changed, if I was to retake this image.
 Another one of my favourites. I love the contrast and  how the different objects work against each other quite well. I don't thing I had an idea in mind when I took this, I was just looking around and waiting for something to catch my interest. I guess they work together quite well because they both have a similar function. At the bus stop you are sitting and waiting and the same can be said for the bench.

  1. This is a much better attempt at shooting a scene - city/urban scape. You tell us what to look at. You frame the scene in an organized and balanced way and balance it in just a way to get us looking through the image. I like how you have challenged our perspective, skewed the frame, and really saturated the image so that the little details, like the leaves, and sky pop out, also creating bold shapes.
