Phase Two Night Shoot

Introduction
In this part of my work I will be analyzing photos that I have chosen from my contacts. Below you will see the annotations of the images and then I will talk in depth about them and their good and bad points. the images are number as follows 1 2
                                             3 4
                                              5


1. This image is one which is very close the the effect that I wanted to create as a final product of this shoot. It has a a dark and gloomy aesthetic to it, this is achieved by the lighting being separated within the frame.By doing this the viewer is consumed by darkness and the information seem in secret. Despite this good lighting the image is ruined with the for sale sign on the right as your eye is drawn to it and then you are thrown out of the photo. 
2. This second image again shows a good contrast between the highlights and shadows and by having really only the car in the frame you keep the reading of the image simple for the reader. This is helped by the darkness being all around the perimeter of the frame, placing the viewers eye in the center of the image allowing you to be lead out by the road. This image has a dreary feel to it and makes the viewer wonder what is in the darkness.
3. Now this image has less of an impact to me due to its position in the road. By being in the center of the road all i have achieved is to show summitry. But as you can see again that the for sale sign is in the right of the frame again distracting your eye but this is also done on the left side by the building. It's structure is large and it catches the ambient light very easily thus being easy to see and bold within the frame.
4. When looking at this photograph at contact size it seemed to be in focus and the lighting was perfect. But when you look at this photograph in a larger scale you see that all of the frame is out of focus, meaning that the image is unusable as a final print.  But the idea i think works very well and it is worth revisiting it at another time.
5. The lighting in the image has really disappointed me as the huge light streak has taken away all the drama from the photo as it goes right across the image. By this the whole images is warm and not anything like the affect i wanted and it will take a of work to set it right in Photoshop so i will leave it and shoot again.
