Post 14

The fourth image in my series of blogs based on photos I have taken is also another image of the Bradford mill that I photographed.

This is another silhouette shot featuring the cooling tower, although this time the photo was taken at much less of an angle. This is so it doesn't give the impression of being "powerful", instead it is taken from how a member of the general public would have seen it in the past or the present, the image is much less angled and the photo is taken from the other side of the main road which runs alongside the old mill.

Another point to not in this image is the use of clouds as a background to the image, as I think it adds to the effect of "smoke" in the sky, which is what would have billowed out of that chimney many years ago when the mill was still in use.

I think that the framing is done in such a way that even though there is enough room round the edges to give enough information of the time, place etc, the viewer's attention is drawn immediately to the chimney with the sunshine attempting to break through in the background.
