Evaluation
This second shoot was much more enjoyable and interesting. I decided to move on from the evidence of human civilization through litter, and instead looked at buildings, cars, symbols and signs etc. This allowed me to take far more appealing photos, and I think they represent the topic a lot more. I shot a couple of photos of litter and cigarettes on the floor and such, as that is the first idea that this is linked too, and I tried to see if I could make them photos look anymore likeable, but it didn't really work so I think i'm going to move on from that idea for good. This second shoot was a lot more fun because I was able to explore other aspects of civilization, and this allowed me to look around, and explore photo ideas that I wouldn't normally notice or think of. This also caused me to look at objects and buildings that I would usually just ignore, and I enjoyed that.
This is one of the shots that i took. Originally, the idea of this photo was to get a picture of the "LOOK LEFT" lettering on the floor, but as I was taking the photo quickly because there were a lot of people around, i caught the people in front of me within the image, and didn't actually capture some of the letters. However, I really like this image because we can see movement, as the people's legs are blurred - showing that they were walking.
I really like this image i took because the background is blurred, and so we can focus on the center of the image which is the sign. This links to my first topic as the sign is informing people about the penalty fine for littering. I also like this image because the sign is bright yellow and bold, and as it is in the center we look at it straight away. I enjoy taking photos of signs because they are put there for people to look at and read, which represents my topic of human civilization.
Progression
I really enjoyed this shoot. However, I would like to explore the more personal root of human civilization, by taking photographs of door numbers, houses, cars, bicycles, etc. I think this is a more interesting topic because the photos will be relatable. It will also allow me to explore into other photo ideas such as people themselves, personal possessions etc. When searching for influence on the internet for evidence, I ventured into the more personal root for my next shoot, these are some of the images that i found:
nice photos! Congratulation. I just have watched them and decide to add my own opinion about first photo with motion effect. About external objects: there is at less two interesting things the letter on the road and the tiles for the blind people it prove the main point of civilisation is humanity (we always thinking about humans and try to do life more understandable and easy). Fast movement in the photo is talking about that peopple use to miss this kind of things.
