Post 18

This image is the 18th in a series of blog posts using images I took last November for University coursework as their theme.

This image, like all of the images of the old mill in Bradford, is a silhouette. Silhouettes, to me, can show a stark contrast between two different things, let it be the past or the present, two different industries, or the difference between black and white.

This image has rather a Coronation Street-style element to it. What I mean by that is the shots of rooftops, lamp-posts, chimney post and television aerials, which looks impressive silhouetted against the sunset.

Another good effect I like about this photo is the angle at which it was taken from. The aerials look as though they are pointing roughly towards the cooling tower for reception, which can give the photo a sort of abstract feeling about it. It almost has an impossible art feeling about it, because the chimney also acts as a television transmitter, as the aerials look as though they are pointing towards it.

The way this photo is framed is to fill the photo with everything that the photographer wants to be in it, instead of everything that's important in the photo being clustered up in the centre of the image while the edges of the image give less important details about the photo to the viewer.
