Connecting Essay

This is one of my photographs of Regent Street in London, I have taken this photo however I chose to take this out of focus as I felt that it would make my photo link better into the creative use of light topic due to only being able to see the lights within the photo. I like this photo because I feel like it represents create use of light in a very unusual way. Within this photo you can see the lights on the buildings, the street lights and also the lights from vehicles passing. This means that this makes my photo fit into my exam question very well and I think this is a good representation of it although I would have preferred this image had I angled it slightly higher to include more of the lighting and less of the street.

 This is a picture which I have found on the internet, this appears to be Regent Street in London however I cannot be certain however I do like this image very much. I feel that this would be a perfect way of capturing the lighting in a street which also makes it fit into my exam question. This photo has been taken out of focus which means that it is not very easy to see what the image is showing however I can tell that this is a very busy street and from the image we can see he lighting from the buildings, the street lights and also what appears to be a bus. I think had this picture been taken in focus it would not be as effective as out of focus it is very easy to relate it to my topic.

These two images are very similar in many ways, my image was taken from Regent Street in London and the internet image also appears to be Regent Street due to the buildings and it also appears that we have taken the photos from a very similar location along the road due to being ablt to see both the buildings on the left side of the road however you can also see a small amount of the building on the other side. Both photos were also taken out of focus meaning that the lights look more light circles rather than looking like lights and finally within both photos you are able to see the lights from the buildings, the streetlights and vehicles on the roads. These photos however do have some differences, for example the photo from the internet is much clearer than my photo due to mine being quite dark and the lights in the internet image stand out more than within my image and the colours are also much more vivid.
