My final Piece



For my final Piece I have chosen one of my Joiners at a local river, I feel it has the most character of any of the other shots that I have taken. The sharp edges of the picture reflect the work of artists in the cubist movement. Also the way in which I have taken some of the shots in a time lapse fashion has taught me more about “Shutter Priority” and “Aperture Priority”.


This is a quote from an interview with David Hockney taken from the BBC website

"You had to be aware that I saw that photography was a mere episode in the history of the optical projection and when the chemicals ended, meaning the picture was fixed by chemicals, we were in a new era."

(source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/johntusainterview/hockney_transcript.shtml )

To me this sums up the inspiration and for some part the main reason in which I enjoy photography, the idea that you could capture a moment in time using chemicals and once captured that moment would never be the same again.
