AGAIN uploading to Blogger has made the light levels on this go mad. It's meant to look much darker and deeper. I guess this website just doesn't like pictures of people by windows. STOP DOING THIS PLEASE. But yeah in its original form, the contrast between dark and light works well. I was trying to emulate a the feel of works by Vermeer such as The Milkmaid and The Art of Painting, by using the light coming in through the window and a Chiarascuro effect.
I think the composition in this one works relatively well, with the detail in the bottom and then blank expanse of sky at the top to balance it. The use of black and white and the contrast gives it impact.
I think the saturated effect and the many reflections of light make this photo interesting. This is one of the many laundrettes in Brussels - there's one about every five metres. I also like how lines lead into the middle and really focus the eye to to centre of the image.
Again I think having the large expanse of negative space ie. sky works well in this photograph. This was influenced by a photograph I saw in Aperture a few months ago. I also like the film grain effect.
I think the contrast between vertical and horizontal lines is good in this. The strong orange also really helps to draw the eye.
I like the really dark tones in this. I was interested in it due to the contrast between the ornateness and curves of the gate, and the squareness of the building behind.
Slightly different angle this time. I like being able to see the sky at the top. The sepia is good as it makes it look very timeless and classic.
I don't think the composition in this works because it seems a bit too cluttered and doesn't focus the eye enough.
This isn't a very good photo but I like the houses.
I feel this picture works well because it looks very classic and vintage. I'm not sure about the composition though.
The strong orange really lifts this photo. I also think the square format works well.
I really like the colours in this, especially how the guy's jacket matches the door behind him.
I had the camera on my knee, trying to surreptitiously take a picture of those guys outside the Brasserie having an altercation. But I really like the line of bikes in the foreground.
There is really colourful graffiti everywhere in Brussels.
The bold red works well here. I was just trying to take a picture of the shop when this woman walked into the shot which was awesome.
Joe looking moody and pensive in the Bois de la Cambre. I don't really think the contrast works well in this.
The mixture of reds, blue greys and mustard yellows here looks pretty good and adds a sense of order to the photograph.
The strong blue and yellow against neutrals looks good in this. I'm not sure about the film grain though - I think it looks a bit artificial.
Composition here works well. Also think the saturated colours are nice.
Wanted to capture the contrast between the neon in the window and the greyness of the rest of the image. Other than this though it's not a hugely interesting image I don't think.
The strong colours in this are good. I think the lack of focus actually adds to the image.
I really like how the eye is focused towards the figure in this image by lines converging towards her.
Bit slanty which I don't think is great but I think it captures the feel of the commute.
The strong bright colours are quite nice in this. I like how it takes you right into the heart of the action. It reminds me of this image by Tom Wood. It's a bit overexposed though.
This image was inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper. I feel I've sort of captured a similar atmosphere to that of many of his artworks. I like the contrast between areas of dark and light.
My favourite thing about this picture is that the man and the dog are both looking back in my direction. The colours are quite rich too which I think is good.
I like the really bold graphic lines of the building contrasting with the tree branches. Also the blue of the sky contrasting with the paleness.
The length of this image gives an impression of height. I also think the strong saturation works well to bring out the colours.
This image was again a bit Hopper inspired. The composition was also inspired by some images in the photo-book Road and Rail Links Between Sheffield and Manchester by Adam Murray and Theo Simpson which I saw at the Sheffield Millenium Galleries Printing Sheffield exhibition earlier in the month. I really think the wide expanse of sky taking up much of the image works well.
Tourists at Mini Europe. I just really like their expressions. Also I think the curve of the buildings in the foreground works well compositionally.
The Atomium is amazing! I just think the composition of this image works well, as well as the blue of the sky contrasting with the silver and white.
The contrast between the grey and the bright primary colours works quite well.
I think the composition of this is pretty good. I also like the saturation of the colours.
I like how abstract this photo looks as well as the strong contrast.
I think the soft focus of this gives the impression of movement. The slightly muted colours are pretty nice. Possibly bit of a boring image though - not really anything to focus on.
I love the flash of bright colours in this one, as well as the reflections and the grain.
The soft focus and saturation, as well as contrast between dark and light makes this image interesting for me.
I'm not sure about this one but I like the bright pink and bright blue.
This one has gone all sharp and horrible but I think the composition is okay. I think the colours could do with being a bit richer.
It was a shame that this car was in the way but these skulls are really cool.
I think the grey and dullness actually works really well here at creating a certain atmosphere.
Windowsill ornaments - I think the high saturation here is good as it brings the objects to more attention. This image strikes me as a bit Martin Parr-esque. I want to have a look at his work.
I think the bright, strong blue of the sky contrasts well with the creaminess of the building. I feel the composition really gives an impression of the fact that this was one hugely tall building in an area when everything else was built much lower.
I really like this image. I think the saturation makes it look really retro and atmospheric, which was the effect I was aiming for when I took it.
The tourist area. I like how the image really focuses on the woman in the middle but then there is also a lot to look at behind too.
These two guys were taking each other's picture in front of the horse. I feel like I captured their interaction well.
The Police stroking the horse. I don't really like the lady with the pink coat in the foreground as I feel it distracts the eye away from the rest of the image.
I think the graphic lines in this one work well. I also like the blue tones.
Anyway that's about it! That's kind of a lot of photos I know.
