Connecting Essay 5

This is a photograph I found on the internet by Michael Kelley. He has taken a photograph of the same subject at two different times which is indicated through the colour of the sky. The sky also reflects the same colour into the water. The left side is dominantly blue whereas the white side is rather red/orange and purple. Lines can also be seen in the reflections of light as they travel downwards on the water. The tone of the the mountains in the background is much darker in the right image, which show the different position of the sun as here it is creating shadows. Depth is also shown in this piece due to the things in the distance looking much smaller in caparison with the size of the bridge in the foreground.

This is my own piece of photography where I have also taken two separate photographs of the same subject at two different times in the day, then combining them in two halves of the composition to create a new image. Like the image above the sky is the key indicator in implying that the pictures were taken at two separate times in the day. The left side illustrates that it was taken in the day as the sky is blue whereas the right side is red/orange and implies a sunset, later in the day. The branches in the right side are also much darker, acting as a silhouette.


These images can be connected through the fact both of them are split into two but still creating the same image. The same technique of taking to separate pictures of the same object in the exact same position is used which is shown through the consistency of the images as the central points of the separate images line up. The two different photos in both of these pieces were taking at two separate time, on the left images are taken in daylight whereas the right is taken later during a sunset. This is indicated through the different colours visible in the different photos. The left side in both compositions is dominated by blues whereas the right sides is more red/orange. Both images use the sky in order to illustrate different times in the day and therefore show time passing by. The formal element of line is visible in both of the pieces despite it being displayed in different ways
