Content: I can see a man at eye level as he is fixing any damage that the boom has the created. In the background, you can see central Manchester as the tall buildings and offices shine bright in the daylight after a terror attack has happened and the city is in silence
Composition: The photographer has used a daylight florescent white balance as it is sunny and light. The shutter speed was fast because as he is in action and is fixing the damage that has been creating. The aperature was high aswell as a light was needed for the photo to look powerful and good. Connection: This connect to my work as one of our projects are landscape and this will inspire me to take powerful and meaningful pictures. Comment: I like this picture because it is very impressive and influential as it shows people coming together as one and helping to stand our city back up and this really means a lot to me as I live in Manchester. |
Content: In the image, you can see a power station in black and white which has dense fluffy clouds of steam coming out of the pipes. To the left in the background you can see climbing frames which can suggest something is being constructed. The power station looks quite old and fragile as there are different tones of colour in the brick.
Composition: The photographer has used a white and black white balance or a monochrome setting to get the picture black and white. The shutter speed was fast as it needed to catch the steam coming out of the pipe. The aperature is low and a lot of light wasn't needed. The power station is a eye level and us the focus point. Connection: This does not directly connect to my work but connects to landscapes as it has buildings and and is a effective picture but is different from my work. Comment: In my opinion, I think this is an effective picture as it stands out and kind of shows a hidden meaning. |
Content: In the picture you can see a long straight,narrow road filled with green trees and cars in each side. At eye view you can see four men crossing the road. This picture was taken when they were mid way of crossing the road. This picture looks like it has got some filters on it as the colour has got like a orange tone to it. As you look closely into the picture it seems like a never ending road. Also you can see very grand entrances to the big and modern houses.
Composition: The photographer has used many different techniques to get this picture as their final outcome. Iain MacMilian has used a fluorescent white balance as it has a orange tone to it. The shutter speed has to be fast as the four men are in action of walking. The photographer cleverly of this picture as all the men are in sync and body language is the same too. He wanted the men to be a eye level but also get the road in the background so it also is seen at eye level too. this has a good effect on the image as everything is positioned correctly. The aperture must of been medium as a not a lot of light was needed but some was. It was a shallow depth of field as the road in the distance was not blurry, this shows the picture is focused. At each side of the image you can see cars and trees that keep on going, this shows Iain must of thought carefully about his location. The trees has a green tone to them as well. The photographer must of been stood on a ladder as he has managed to catch the distance but also to get a better view of the men. The composition of the picture is quite straightforward as he captures the four men walking in sync and then got the distance and the road that might be called after the tittle ‘ Abbey Road’ Context: IT was taken by a photographer called Iain MacMilian in 1969. It is called Beatles Abbey Road. Iain Stewart Macmillan (20 October 1938 – 8 May 2006) was the Scottish photographer famous for taking the cover photograph for The Beatles' album Abbey Road in 1969. After growing up in Scotland, he moved to London to become a professional photographer. Time was tight for the Beatles in the summer of 1969 whilst they were recording in EMI's London studios in Abbey Road, St John's Wood, and the photographer Iain MacMillan was told that he could have the group for a few minutes during a lunch break for the album cover shoot. Following a suggestion from Paul McCartney, he sat on a tall ladder outside the studio and took photographs of them striding across the zebra crossing. The photography was instantly iconic and promoted the new Beatles album. Connection: This connects to my work because we went to London and took pictures of the landscape. Iain MacMillian was a landscape photographer too and we explored the same themes as each other- rural and urban landscape. Iain thought about his pictures carefully but that's what makes it an effective picture. This also kind of relates back to my project of weird and wonderful as this is not an original or normal photo. Comment: In my opinion, I think it is a good picture as it is quite effective. The photograph has thought about it carefully (location, angles, eye level focus). He also made it not seem like an original, normal picture as it has the orange undertone to it. I like this picture because it is very rare to get such a picture in sync and be effective as this one this. |

In my opinion, I think this is a good picture because it is not bleached out and I have captured the beach at a good time of the day and you can also see some people having fun at the beach.
|
In my opinion,I dont think this is a good picture as it is quite bleached out because of the aperature and nothing is really in focus.
|
BestI think this is a really good and effective picture as the sun has started to set and it has shown a really pretty pink colour but also started to capture the water that is everlasting.

Landscape photography by Simon KitchinThis picture does not exactly replicate my work but looks similar as the cliff has become darker as the sun is beaming on the sea and creating a line of light as everything has become dark and faded out. I picked this photographer because his landscape workshop is based around Angelsey and went to most of the places that we visited which shows the similarities between his work and mine.
WorstIn my opinion, this is overexposed and you can not see the sun set clearly so that's why I think its not my favourite picture,
|
bestI think this is quite a good and effective picture as I have captured the lighthouse in the centre and at eye focus but also have captured the waves crashing against the lighthouse.
|
worstThis is not a good picture as it is the wrong way and does not even show the lighthouse, it only shows the water.

5c's analysisContent: The picture is a picture of the Millenium bridge in London with St Paul's cathedral church in the background and people walking on the bridge. You can also see River Thames at the bottom of the bridge. There are also many buildings in the back and one also with a clock. The clock is telling us it's about 5 o'clock so maybe people are going home from work.
Composition: The photographer has used many techniques to make it look powerful. A cloudy/flash white balance had to be used as it seems very cloudy by looking at the grey clouds but the photo seems to be having a glow but very bright affect. The aperture must be average as a lot of light will be needed. The shutter speed has to be fast because people are walking by at a constant speed so you would want to catch them in the action and make sure they are not blurry. It is a deep depth of field as we want all the buildings in the back and not the one so we use the deep depth of field instead of the shallow depth of field. The composition has been well thought about because this picture has St Paul's cathedral church right at eye view point. The photographer might have used a tripod because the picture seems very steady and very well planned. This is a portrait picture wanting to catch the cathedral in it and the other buildings surrounding it. The photo looks like it has got a filter on it or has been edited because the glass on the side of the bridge has got a blue looking effect and is not looking clear. Context: A photographer called Katie, a London history blogger took this to show everyone the real London, she posted this picture on February 27 2017, showing what the Millenium bridge looks like and wrote about how it feels like walking on it and if we ever walked on the bridge what we should look out for. Connection: This connected to my work as on the 6th of July we went to London for our landscape project and I took an exact picture like that so it's a comparison of how well you can capture the same picture and see the differences. Comment: In my opinion, I think this picture is more effective and standing out more than mine as it has been taken quite steadily and thought about whereas my was really rushed and not thought about. I think it is a really good picture and I am a fan of it. |

This is my best picture because I think it was taken at a good angle and shows the how the market is structured. Also I think the white balance and aperature were at a good setting.
|
I think this is my worst picture because it was not taken at a right angle and that is reflecting other thing and the meat is not looking clear.
|
BestThis is my best picture it shows London and how the buildings are structured. The composition of the photo is good as the buildings are in the centre and at eye focus.
|
WorstI think this is my worst picture because it has more focus on the mans shirt rather than the buildings and has blurred out on the buildings.
