Image Bank - Depth

Image Bank

In most of these photographs below, you will notice how the background of the image has been blurred, whereas the foreground object is defined and clearly visible. The blur emphasises the depth in the image because the further away things are, the more difficult they are to notice. I've also discovered in some of these pictures that the part in the background comes across as being a lot smaller when compared to the part shown in the foreground. This is because of the camera angle and how each picture has been taken. A perfect example of this is the photograph below; the part of the bridge that is further out to sea seems to have a small width than the part closer to the shore. Even though in real life this whole bridge is the same size, this photograph portrays it to be the opposite and this is done through depth. 

This piece of photography is something I have included in my image bank because it illustrates depth and is also a pciture that I could interpret myself if I were to take more photos displaying depth.

I really admire the simplicity of this photograph. Six mugs have been lined up together and had their photograph taken from one end, portraying an image that contains depth effortlessly.  

It's not everyday that you'll be able to capture a photograph of seagulls all lined up evenly on several poles with their wings at peace, so this photo was worth taking just for that matter and not only because of the depth that it illustrates. It's a photograph that makes you feel/think something as I'm pretty certain I'm not the only person who would think about the serenity of the seagulls.

This photograph is similar to that of the bridge, instead it has just been taken from the outside. The black and white effect produces a mysterious feel to the image as it looks dark and mystical. The water is resting with no disturbance from below, so the picture also displays that sense of tranquility.
