"When this baby hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious shit."

Literally, I just came home. and thought..blimey. I have college soon. yaaaaaaaay! man I love College. (Aaaaay)

um..

I literally just picked any picture at Random from Flickr, which, by the way has some good photo's, believe it or not.

Right then. the first thing I noticed and was drawn to was the fence, which in turn guides your eye from right to left, across the entirety of the image. Then there's the mountains, they contain some beautiful(!) colours in them. really, quite stunning. and how the colour of the mountain looks really great next to the bright blue sky. :)

Beautifully composed too, sticking to the rule of thirds perfectly.

here's the original. :)

Here I go again on my own.

Robert Capa

"The Death of a Loyalist Soldier"

Robert Capa is heralded as "The Greatest War Photographer of all Time." Not really a prestigious honour, really, but still his Images are brilliant. This particular one caused a lot of Controversy, because it shows the soldier being shot dead. However in another of Capa's photographs it shows the same man, after apparently being shot dead in this one. Its a lot like photograph of the 9/11 man (which can be found here) as it can either be perceived as real or fake. (However the 9/11 man has been proven to be fake.)

Rock and Roll, team.

PS. Its my birthday on Sunday. Woo!!! :D

why not, eh? not doing anything else.

Jon Burgerman.

This is the main banner off his official site. I like the use of colour as it is eye catching and makes you want to look at it - and in doing so, you notice things inside, like faces and shapes.

The font used appears to be hand drawn, perhaps on a Drawing Tablet hooked up to a computer.

The title "My American Summer" is huge, which again makes you notice it and read on. Personally, its the first thing I noticed when I went onto the page because of the big bright colours it just grabbed my attention straight away.

s'later. :)

Good God. Is that was 9:30am looks like?

The Decisive Moment

by Henri Cartier-Bresson.

Personally, I really like this Photograph. its a great example of Cartier-Bresson's decisive moment, like I mentioned in previous blog entry.

"The Decisive Moment" is named this way due to the exact moment the picture was taken. If this was taken seconds later, the man would not be falling into the lake, there would just be a splash of where he'd fallen in.

Cartier-Bresson was born in France in 1908, and died 5 years ago yesterday (conveniently enough). The Decisive Moment would later be known as his trademark and would often be associated with this particular type of photography. He also popularised Street and Urban Photography, which has inpsired many more photographers to do the same.

Another photography in the same style involves a cyclist riding past at the exact time he takes the photograph, which works really well.

anyway. enough from me.

How're you?
