Canal Photography

In this picture I have tried to capture the new technique world we live in with the old way and how things used to be, I have capture a tram which is the technique side of it going over an old architectural bridge which show that Nottingham is like now and how it used to be.

When first taking the photo of the boat and building behind the tree I exposed it too much light which took away a lot of detail from the boat and building. when I too the last picture I changed it so that the boat and building were exposed to a regular amount of light but the tree has been under exposed, I have done this on purpose because although the background is exposed to a regular amount of light it is still bright which makes it stand out even more in the foreground (the tree) is dark.   

In these picture when the main focus is the graffiti on the wall, even though the main focus if right in the middle of the photo and is standing out to lead the eye I have used the lining in between the bricks to, I have used these as leading lines to the main focus I have also used the lines to take focus off of the main focus, I have done it to lead the eye to the left of the wall to look at certain textures.

With this photo like the photo earlier with the tram and bridge, I have captured the Nottingham castle behind the new building to show a contrast between new architecture and old architecture and the history of the city and how the city is now. I have captured the main focus which is the castle in the middle because I want the history of the city to be the main focus and not how the city is now.

With these photos I have experimented with the shutter speed and movement, while taking the photos I set the shutter speed to a low speed, while the photo was being captured I experimented with moment by changing the zoom on the lens and by moving the location of the lens, by doing this I have captured movement in a still picture and I have distorted the light.
