This photograph was taken by the photographer Fay Godwin and is part of her landscape photography located on the beach. This photograph contains the aspect of scale and depth. This is because depth has been used in this photograph to enhance the scale of the photograph and to make it more appealing to look at. The depth is enhanced through the wooden barriers that are built in line going into the sea which enhances the depth as it directs the technique more. This photograph has also been converted into black and white and this is very affective as it brings out the tones of the photograph more. The tones are shown especially in the sky as the clouds create very random shapes which highlight lightness and darkness in them. The light tones are also enhanced by the light of the sun which makes this photograph look very eye caching and stunning to look at. The idea of photographing aspect of landscape of the sea side creates a calming nature to the photograph and shows a different location then the country side where depth can be affective. Furthermore in this photograph the element of texture also stands out and this is because the stones, pebbles that are shown show the hard and rough texture very clearly and detailed this is because they are close to the camera. The texture allows the photograph to look as realistic as possible and makes the landscape show a range of elements that make the photograph look creative. This photograph has been taken at a slightly higher level then the barriers which allows the texture of the stones and pebbles to be seen more in the image rather than blurred.
This photograph was taken for my project aspects of landscape and was taken at the location of Bournemouth beach. This photograph was taken from the main influence of the photographer Fay Godwin and her sea side landscape shoot. The idea of converting the whole photograph black and white was because it was inspired by Fay Godwin as well as the tones in this landscape stand out as the barrier in the sea is very dark and the tones in the sea create a more interesting a realistic photograph. The aspect of depth in this photograph is enhanced through the wooden barrier that is built in a straight line in the sea showing the direction where the depth is being highlighted. This also makes the sea a more interesting photograph as its got an object which draws the viewers eyes too. However to improve this photograph I feel that the photograph could have been taken at a different angle to show the sky has a more iconic feature in this photograph as from this angle it looks very duel and doesn't have an element of shape to it. All though the shades in the sky are very eye caching I feel it isn't as affective as the sky in the fay Godwin's photograph above this one. Lastly the scale of the sea is enhanced in this photograph and this photograph shows how large the sea is to an extent.
The connection between both of these photographs are that because my photograph was inspired and influenced by Fay Godwin's work they both have several similarities. These are firstly that both photographs are located at the beach and show the same part of the beach enhancing the depth of the sea. Secondly both photographs have been converted into black and white and this is to show in more detail the light and dark tones that are in the landscape to make the photographs more appealing to look at. Lastly the idea of the barrier in both the photographs in the sea or leading into the sea to enhance the aspect of depth as it stretches out the depth and shows a direction to the technique.
