Time and Frame

After the class last week I found myself very interested in the concept of time.  As it was stated in the Photographers Eye the introduction of faster shutter speeds brought forth photos of unseen images, like two headed dogs, bending the way we see reality and blurring our sense of truth.

    This picture of a double-decker bus bursting through the streets pulls the viewer toward the destination of the red and white blur. The framing of the picture is interesting, capturing two streams of light from lamp posts further down the street and the mess of lights on the ground in the distance.  The people on the street also help to give us a idea of the speed the bus is going at.  The tail lights that stick out like two white magic marker lines capture a kind of tech light burst reminiscent of glow sticks and morphs the form of the bus into this "light speed" futuristic mesh.

The man without ties to the ground and the particles of water motionless in the air create a shot that couldn't have been taken a moment later, definitely a decisive moment.  The triangle of space made between the people "closest" to the viewer in the shot and the small space between the second girls hair and the man behind hers chest frames this photo in an impressive way.

Thanks for your time,
Sean
