Walk from Wombwell to Aldham House

This collection of images were taken whilst I walked through Wombwell towards Aldham House which is an estate next to Wombwell. I chose to make images here because I thought that if I started from the highstreet in Wombwell and kept walking till I got to Aldham house I would be able to create several Photographs. I also chose to do this because the route I took is a heavily used bus route which meant several buses would pass me. However looking back at these images I felt that they weren't at strong as my previous images from Leeds and my past project, which is due to the area not being as busy and crowded and Leeds. This caused me to loose some confidence and momentum.

Here is the whole collection of images:

The following images are some that I know to be the strongest in this collection. I won't use these within my final collecting because I know that they aren't as strong as my past works.

Leeds

This collection of images are from Leeds. I didn't go there to make photographs but thought that since I was there I could have a practice at going around and trying to find the busy main streets and make photographs. The experience was a positive one. Leeds is somewhere I don't usually visit so walking around these streets was rather unfamiliar and caused me to get slightly lost. This was something that I appreciated because I had managed to find streets where busses would go down and reflect the shop signs and displays amazingly well. These streets allowed me to capture many unique, abstract images.

These contact sheets show the whole collection of images that I had made.

The following are some images that I found to be the most effective.

Each of these images manage to do one thing that links them together really well. I had set my camera to have the opposite side of the street in focus whilst the bus isn't, which creates this broken, abstract disturbance. This is something that I will be trying to recreate further on in my project.
