my street photography    

For this shoot we went around Leeds city centre. We had to take photos of everyday scenarios that we saw but thought looked interesting and would make a good image. We set the camera up in AV mode using a higher F number ,around 16, so that we could get a wide depth of field.

I like this photograph because of where the people are within the frame. I like how they are towards the left of the photo and not just in the middle because I think that this looks effective.

I like how the bin men are the main part of the photograph and how the bright colour of their vests draws your attention to them. I also like how they are placed towards the left as you can see a lot of other passers by in the photograph rather than just the 2 main people, as i think this looks effective.

I really like how this photograph is a normal scenario that you would see everyday and how natural he looks. I also like how he is placed towards the back of the photo with tables in front of him but he is what your eye is drawn to straight away.
