Connecting essay 4:

In the image below the photographer has captured the bridge in Camden. The use of composition has allowed the photographer to include the busy street and all the people and cars that go through it as well as showing the lock.  In the photo the bright colours of the bridge stand out and help to draw in attention. The composition of the photo being at a slight angle helps to capture the full length of the bridge as well as includes the busy streets of Camden which helps to create a true representation of the streets of Camden.

In the image below the same scene has been photographed except this time the image is taken from a further back angle, and is therefore including more of the scene beside the bridge. In this image the wider frame includes more of the street and explores the width. In the image you can see exactly what is going on in the street yet you can see more of the structure of the buildings and the bridge. The use of tone in this image allows the structure of many of the different parts of the image stand out for example the tone allows the two buildings to stand out more helping them to develop form, yet the tone doesn't let the bridge go unnoticed.

In both of the images the use of composition is effective yet for different reasons. Its effective in the first image as it explores the busy streets of Camden as well as shows a clear image of the bridge which is what the image focus's on. Its effective in the second image as it helps to give a overview of Camden as well as to aid the use of the formal element form. The use of colour in the first image helps to give a bright vibrant feel to Camden which goes along side with the busy streets and helps to give a creative feel to the place. In the second image the use of tone allows you to focus more on the buildings and whats actually in the photo. In this image the scene of Camden looks more dated than in the one above.
