Photo's for front cover 2

The photos that we decided we would use would be photo's of the traffic lights with their orange covers on to show that they had been shut down.

We went down and figured out the best place to take the photo's from. This place was the place that gave us the best view of the traffic lights and the one that fitted the most traffic lights in the photo. We took a range of different photos and had to pick which one that we would use.

This was one of the first photo's that we took. Even though it had a good over view of what the lights looked like and you could see how the traffic can easily be built up we decided not to use it due to many reasons. One of the reasons was because in this photo alot of your attention is drawn to the big blue car which has no relevance to what we want in our photo. Also the the traffic lights look quite distant and far away which is not what we wanted because we wanted them to be the main focus in our photo. Also the bush and stone at the bottem of the photo draw quite a lot of focus which is not what we wanted.

This was the secondphoto that we took. This photo we thought was a lot better than the one above as it had no major focus on cars and still contained many of the traffic lights that had been shut down.

However there are still some bad points and reasons why we didnt use this photo. The traffic lights still looked quite distant in the photo which is not what we wanted. Also there is the top of a post box at the bottem of the photo. Although we could crop this bit out, it would make the photo look short and it wouldnt be a good photo.

This was the third photo that we took. This was the best photo that we had taken so far. This was because we had moved in a lot more to get a closer picture of the traffic lights. It still had the post box in the bottem corner which we wanted to get rid of and we thought we still could get a closer photo of the traffic lights.

This was the photo we choose to use on our front cover. We thought this one was the best as it had a clear close up view of the traffic lights. Also there were no cars,bushes,stones or postboxes in the way to take the attention off of the lights.

Even though at the bottem of the photo there is still a big part of pavement, we were able to crop this up but not to much to make the photo

look short but enough to take the focus off of that part of the photo.
