The week that i traveled to London and Edinburgh was foggy and rainy.
The photos were not really nice if i shoot in color, so i tried to shoot with black and white,
and it turned out a really surprisingly great collection of photos
which gives a moody and the other side of these two "glamorous" cities.
London:
Edinburgh:
With the old histories of this city, i wanted to emphasize the feeling of old and gloomy by showing the contrast of sun and old buildings, trees and people, street sign and the empty road etc,
trying to portray the emptiness and loneliness of the old city.
I love the contrast of the above photos show
the big portion of dark buildings with just a little of bright sky.
The street sign has the power of directing people for the rule,
but they actually are neglected or even damaged by people.
So what is the meaning of people still using them and putting them alone in street?
No matter how packed of the trees and leaves around us
to show their presence as part of the environment,
but we just never realize they are present or as part of our life,
leaving them live or die, lying all over the street.
I love the shoot the ordinary people's living to show their emotion connected to the city,
whatever alone or with someone.
When it was almost 5pm the weather turned a bit better, then i started to shoot with color.
I intended to blur the photo when i took this by using the MF (Manual Focus) instead of AF (Auto Focus).
I like the mystery of blurring a photo and the vanishing point the photo has offered.
When it was almost the sunset time, i adjusted the ISO to the lowest as 100
to emphasize the sunlight rather than the surrounding buildings.
I really like the color of the sky and cloud here, which surrounded by the dark buildings and tree.
