Photography 1: The Art of Photography

Photographing Movement

The two images below were scanned from postcards bought in Pembrokeshire.  They were produced by a local photographer, Philip Clarke.  The first photograph is of frozen movement.  The wave is frozen in mid air with all parts sharp.  The sunlight on the wave adds to the drama of the image.  In contrast the fence that can just be seen on cliff-top seems puny in comparison with the power of the sea.

In the second photograph, a slow shutter speed has been used.  The waves breaking on the rocks seem like a mist.

The third photograph has been scanned from a travel brochure.  The movement of the man in the photograph has been frozen along with the background.
