I found that in the first part of the first semester my ideas were not focused at all, my work was all over the place and didnt have any solid meaning or emotion to it. I find that if my work has no depth it causes me to loose interest quickly . The night that i took these photos i had been getting annoyed with the work i has been attempting to make in the studio and decided to go for a walk. I took my camera with me to take some photos of light at night - since i was still focusing on the theme of "light" . My camera was on a sort of long exposure setting and when taking a photograph and moving the camera i got this effect:
Manipulating the light
The moon- i like how strong the line is here and the fact that the glow of the moon is still present.
Strange sensation!- The dundee 'sensation' building. good colours.
The moon on the tay- I really like this image. It is the view across the tay as never seen before! I was fascinated by the fact that these images would only ever happen once- that is to say that no matter how hard you tried, you could never take the same photograph again! I also thought about the fact that each light represented a person- a house, a car, a streetlight. when i looked at the view through my own eyes i could see the silhouettes of buildings and the landscape on the other side of the Tay, but through the camera all that remains is the light.

Passing Traffic- I liked how this image is alive and moving, you can almost sense the cars going by and see their speed traveling accross the image without actually seeing the car itself. I think it is interesting how you can actually observe a passage of timethrough these photographs. You can see the jorney in which the car travelled infront of the camera. Like a documentation of time as it happens. I had a lot of fun taking these photos and enjoyed the results too. I liked the unprecictibility and unique-ness of the images. However, they still lacked the depth i was needing.
