Week 9:

Week 9, Time and the Image.

The image had to be taken and then printed onto A3 and then hung in the studio.

For my project i wasnt able to find a specific photographer to look at and get ideas, but i had an idea as soon as the project Time and the Image was given.

I new that i was going to do something with movement and motion, i have taken images before at night, so i needed to incorporate the city in there somewhere.

I feel motion is time, capturing time at night works really well, it gives you a sense of absence as no figures are frozen.

The image above, I found on the interent by a photographer called James Ronalds. I was interested in the colours and the way it looked so i went out and started taking images.

The picture below taken by me is the one i chose out of 4 others.

My image i wanted to show the city at night, it shows the activity and the movement within just 8 seconds of exposure time.
You can see the buildings lit up, which show's people working and the traffic on the floor of the City leaving light trails. I wanted a good aesthetic sense to the image, which it has captured with the bright blue sky and the golden colours in the foreground.
But also the feeling of urgency and a busy, busy scene. there is a lot going on in the image.
