Fraser River Fishing
While driving past this location in the afternoon I noticed a lot of people fishing so I decided to return later to see if I could get some sunset images with figures. While showing so many similar images together makes them seem somewhat repetitive, as they were all shot in a similar manor, it does give an indication of the variety too. Within a small area you can usually create many different images by looking for different angles and by moving around. I tried to convey the relationships between the people in these images, either fisherman respectfully giving each other space, or the implied familial connection between the figures. If you are taking pictures that work as silhouettes you need to be cognisant of the relationship of the shapes. What I mean by this is that if there are overlaps you need move to eliminate them or at least ensure that they don’t create an unintelligible mess. If not you may look at your images later only to find that they don’t work as well as you might have hoped. This can occur because your brain is able to ignore these inconsistencies and fill in the missing information at the time but that tends not to translate into clear two dimensional images. Amongst these images I think the ones that work the best have clear space between the figures.
