Project 42- Man Made Landscapes.

For the final project in this course you're asked to look at man made landscapes which is something up to this point i hadn't studied much before with my main interest resting in the natural world.

For the main part you're asked to include images that have little or no people present in them which clear can be a little difficult when looking at a urban environment but i saw this view while shopping near Christmas and just felt there was something about the solemn statue and the empty market place that made it a good subject plus shooting it in black and white adds to this moodiness.







The next two shots are pretty similar in that they focus on the rhythm and flow that you can find in an urban enviroment, be it the line of parked cars or the row of roof tops in a street both make good shots but i like the intimate feel of the roof top shot.
I could have come up with a better range of subjects for this project but time and weather conditions have played there part in hindering me. Personally i would have like to have capture a more industrial view within a urban landscape to show how it differs from the more rural view I'm more accustomed to shooting but this is something i think I'll defiantly come back to in the future because of the interesting contrasts between the urban and the rural view but I'd like to find out if there maybe is more similarities than you first think.
