Valley of Yosemite

Eadweard Muybridge captured a few photos of the Yosemite Valley in 1872. I enjoy the fact the photographs are in black in white, it gives the viewers a chance to imagine what colors may really be in the photo. The photograph is taken at such an angle that the viewers eye wanders all the way back, this is a photograph you could look at more than once and notice something new. If i were to place myself in this photograph i would place myself in the very back giving the photograph depth and allowing the viewers eyes to wander all the way back, if i were to be in the Yosemite Valley right now i would probably take my shoes off and dip my toes in the water! Overall this is a well taken photograph good compostion and the lighting in natural and clear.

Motion

In the 1950s Gary Winogrand published an untitled photograph of a man froze in motion. The motion in the photograph is at a stand still which makes the picture so unique, Gary was able to caputure a man that looks as if he has jumped off a buliding or something high in the air and caputure him upside down and in an awkard postion. The photograph is in black and white, which adds dramatic affect and allows the main focus to be mainb focus of the photograph. Unlike my work, my subject was boring and safe, Gary was able to caputure a daring stunt in motion which makes the photograph so cool.
