This image does show the tire imprint, but due to lighting and how deep the imprint was its still quite difficult to see, although the faint tracks create an illusion feeling instead. I do like this image but I think I should have composed it to include more of the houses, so the image gets split up into thirds because as it is there is too much grass compared background. This image, like all of them make the viewer think, why is there tire imprints straight through the grass? because they shouldn't be there.
This image includes the improvements that I've talked about for the image above, including more of the background to give the viewer a bigger sense of the areas residential nature. Furthermore the tire tracks through the grass are a bit more interesting because they cross each other. Something I wish I could improve with this image is how the sky is overexposed and thus blown out.
This image works well because the composition is split into three, the foreground of the path being the 1st third, then the grass third, and then the background of the house is the last third. Even though the grass is bigger than the other two, it means the photograph is balanced, which means its easy for the viewer to look at. The tree which comes in from right hand side breaks this balance, and takes away from the photograph I feel.
These two tire imprints are odd because they look like they start from no where, making the viewer think harder to why they're there, it also makes the photograph look even more unusual and out of place.
This image is quite different to the other photographs I've taken because it focuses more strongly on the imprint of the tire in the grass, without including much of the background. You can still tell its residential setting as well, which keeps the images authenticity to my theme. How the imprint curves in and out of the frame creates a nice movement affect.
This image creates the same movement affect as I've just talked about in the photograph above this, the curve also mirrors the photograph above which means they could work well mounted together on a wall. This imprint within this image is a lot muddier than the rest of the photographs I've taken which takes away from the affect a bit, because I think the subtle imprint looks better than it through mud. The subtlety within the other images where the imprint is through grass not mud, makes the viewer think more because the photographs intention is less obvious.
I think these images work well in representing the abnormality to why cars keep driving on the grass around this estate, which surely they are not meant to do. In some ways I think the landscape profile photographs work better to show the affect, which I will try to bare in mind for my next shoot. Even though I like the last image, I think the others create a better affect of illusion because the imprint is more subtle, which is more interesting to view for the viewer. Burtynsky's Railcut's project can relate to this set of images because the tire imprints represent the railway tracks cutting through the mountain like the tire marks through the grass. Im going to do another shoot to improve my technique of photographing these tire imprints in the grass. This next shoot will also give me more potential final piece's for me to choose from which best represent the final outcome of my project, which then will be printed off and put into a portfolio.
