Weekly Photo Post #14

I found the texture of the crumpled aluminum cans, and the plastic bags fascinating. I posterized the photo in order to make the shadows more apparent in the photograph, and to emphasize the diagonal lines crisscrossing throughout. 

I turned the photograph black and white in order to emphasize its tonal range.  The black and white values of the picture range from dark blacks, grays, and light grays; giving the chain link fence a three dimensional quality. 

I purposefully took the photograph with the subject slightly askew in order to make the lines of the picture more interesting than if the subject were parallel to the photo borders. Contrast is the principle I tried to employ; mainly a contrast between the subjects color and shape. The pump is a cherry-red color, whereas the lock is more of an emerald green. 

The cool bluish-white hue of the wall, staircase, and generator work to unify the entire photograph. I found the repetition of vertical lines--in the wall and generator--useful in leading the viewer's eye through the photograph, from left to right. 

The contrast between light and shadow were huge in this photograph, adding to the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality in the photograph. The burnt orange color of fire hydrant blends in with the brownish-red soil to an extent, however the whitish color of the spiderweb helps to distinguish between the background and the foreground.
