Connecting Essay 4

 This photograph was taken from the photographer Charlie Waite and shows the aspect of depth in a landscape. This photograph has been taken and edited very professionally as the quality of the picture is very sharp and shows the detail of the landscape very clear. The editing process of converting this photograph to black and white creates a more haunting feel to the photograph which makes it more interesting to look at. As well as the tones in the tree's especially stand out and the light and darkness in the branches make them look three dimensional in the picture as if you are looking at them in real life. The aspect of depth is shown in this photograph through the parallel path that converges inwards as the landscape gets further away from the photograph. The tree's also exaggerate the aspect of depth as they also converge inwards as they get further away from the camera. This idea of depth makes the photograph more intriguing to look at and shows nature in a different way. All though there is many tree's in this photograph the one positioned to the left of the photograph draws my attention as its the only tree that shows its full structure which is very bold. This photograph has been taken at a very low angle which increases the aspect of depth and makes the tree's look taller than what they are which makes the photograph more stunning to look at.

This photograph was taken for my aspect of landscape shoot and shows the aspect of depth in the photograph this is because the depth is shown with the path converging inwards as it gets further away from the camera. The depth of the path shows the message of a journey that people take in life whether its the right or the wrong journey. The tree's in this photograph also enhance this aspect of depth and make this photograph more interesting to look at. This photograph has been converted to black and white because the colours in the actual first hand photograph didn't create a bold or striking affect therefore by converting the photograph to black and white gives it a more appealing affect. The black and white effect also illustrates the tones in this photograph as where the shadows are darkness is shown and the light tones complement this very well. The landscape is also showing in the background of the main focus of the path which highlights the aspect of scale as the landscape is shown to be very large in the distance. Lastly to photograph this picture I had slightly had the camera at a low angle however I feel to improve this photograph I could have made the angle much lower to get more of a blurred affect showing the technique depth of field instead of the aspect of depth.

In conclusion both these photographs connect because they both show the aspect of depth in the same way. This is because they both show the parallel convergence of depth in a path as well as tree's being shown in both of these photographs to enhance the aspect of depth. Furthermore both photographs are converted to black and white which bring out the tones and highlight where the shadows are which make the landscapes look more natural and realistic.
