Image Analysis

This lines in this image from where the truck has dug paths in the soil act as leading lines to point your eye in the direction of the focal point being the truck in the middle of the image. The lighting in this image has a lot of shadow from the sunlight from the end of the tunnel which creates contrast between the areas in the tunnel that have no sunlight reflecting on them and the areas in the tunnel that do have sunlight reflecting on them. The lighting on the truck also makes the focal point stand out more and directs your eye more clearer to the truck. This image shows the damage being done to the world and how humans are draining the world of its recourses and if the world runs out of its recourses then there will be no more in the future when the worlds population will have increased more leading to bigger and more complicated problems. The composition of this image is balanced between the shadows and the lighting coming from the entrance of the tunnel. The background in this image is large scale which almost shows just how big of an impact humans have had on the world and just how large the problems that we have caused have become and how much larger they will get if something is not done about the pollution of the world.

What I’m going to do for my Anthropocene Photoshoot ?

I’m going to do my Anthropocene Photoshoot on light pollution and how the amount of light that is admitted has an effect on the atmosphere. My Photoshoot is going to be on the light from buildings and from streetlights and I’m also going to use artificial lights like torches to help give more light to my photo. I’m going to use a tripod to get clear pictures and so that I can get the angles for the photos right for example if I’m photographing a multi layered car park and the lighting from it is only reflecting in one area the camera will need to be still to try and get that photo right. I’m also going to get images of buildings with lights reflecting from them and the different lights that they admit into the atmosphere. I’m going to go all around town and around the waterfront to get these images as the most amount of light pollution will be around town and amongst the buildings and the businesses that are around town. Another idea I had was to take pictures of cars when they are driving to photograph the headlights and the brake lights to show how much light they admit at night and the amount of gas emissions that come out of the exhaust.
