Urban Landscapes

The photo above was taken by Thomas L. Ehlers. This photo inspired me to take the photo underneath because i think it is a good representation of "Urban Landscapes". The angle that the photo has been taken from makes the image look longer and stretched out than it actually is. The gloomy day adds effect to the picture because the word "urban" to me sounds negative so the dull atmosphere adds a negative affect and feel to the image.
I like this photo because when i think of Urban i think of cities and graffiti and I think this image captures my idea well, also the graffiti shot in this picture was inspired by Thomas L. Ehlers. His image was a good representation of "Urban Landscapes" because of the use of angle and lighting/time of day that is used within the image. I have tried to portray Thomas L. Ehlers photo but there are differences, instead of taking the photo in dull and dreary setting I've taken it in the morning so that the sun could shine through the bars on the other side to create that patchy effect to emphasize that "Urban" doesn't always mean dull and dreary but bright and beautiful, so the lighting in the photo contrasts both meanings. Also the angling is slightly different to make to photo even more elongated.
I also like these two photos because they also capture my image of 'Urban' and i think the surroundings adds to photo. The dreary over grown dead plants gives the image a run down look, which to me adds affect to the urban atmosphere. Also the dull lighting adds effect to the run down look because it makes the image look lifeless and stale, which to me represents the dull and run down Urban atmosphere. However i think if the image was a closer shot it would look more interesting to look at rather than spaced out and empty.
