These shots are examples of location photography, taken in Leeds City centre. They capture different lighting exposures as well as differences in depth of field. I tried to include many angles and focus points, as well as framing images and following 'the rule of three.' This is were there are three prominent features in the image which the eye instantly connects too. Framing the image is were, for example, the focus point is a building, but instead of taking an ordinary image of the building, you use a tree, railing etc to divert the view point and divide the image. I also shot some images inside to show light changes, with the use of flash, and also the harshness that the flash creates to the image, making it seem two dimensional. I also tried to use motion blur in the first image, whilst still containing the shallow depth of field.
White balance change.
