Research

I found some pictures by Andrew Whyte who does long exposure photography. 

This photo jumped out to me because it has Battersea Power Station in the background, which is a building I really admire as it has a lot of history and I love Victorian architecture. The lights are from trains which I think is quite simple to do but still has a really nice effect to it because it looks so unnatural. I think the whole photo has an urban feel to it and being from London it reminds me of home.

I really like the humour there is to this photo, it's called "how benches avoid being sat on" and I admire that because I think there's a preconception that photography is quite serious but this erases that. I like how he's used light painting to make an ordinary object more interesting.

Finally I picked out this photo because of the colours. I love the rainbow colours under the bridge because it looks like quite an old bridge but it's not just a big structure it also looks pretty. I also like the sky in this photo as you can see the stars and I think all together this photo seems like it should be from a cartoon and the fact it's real life makes it good.


This is a photo by glenncoco which captures a moment. It's at a really nice location which I think is easy to forget about when you're trying to take a picture of motion. It looks like the person on the left has used a power to push the other person away which I think is cool because I like photos that tell a story. The fact they're in silhouette makes it focus more on the movement of the photo which I think is a good way of doing it.

This photo is by Michael Shakes and it's capturing the movement of the cards. The man is more in focus than the cards so straightaway you're looking at his face which obviously isn't moving, but I think it's interesting that the cards aren't the main focus of the photo. It's a very simple idea which I admire and where the cards are placed is interesting because they only cover where the man is and not the background.
