I’ve realised that I’ve been mulling ideas through for my assignment and for the transitions project without adding them to my journal.
Assignment 1 Beauty and the sublime
I’ve been considering, researching and testing various options, including disappearing lines (alleys, railways lines), industrial beauty and brick railway bridges.
I think I’ve now discounted the first two options.
Disappearing lines will be very hard to find enough good locations for in the time I’ve got and I have explored this locally quite a bit. From the test shots I’ve taken they’ve got to be very good with exceptionally long straight lines to be effective and are very hard to find.
I like the idea of Industrial beauty but I have a location problem for this and it isn’t an option at this time.
I’m going to e mail my Tutor and make a start on my always preferred option of the beauty and the sublime in a brick railway bridge nearby. I have and will continue to scout for other brick railway bridges I could also use, however my feeling this morning is that there are none like this particular one and I think that there is enough material for me in this one bridge.
I’m still exploring options for my transitions project but have been testing and considering:
- A view over the common with houses in the distance – no very exciting?
- A view to include part of the tatty British Legion club – difficult to get vegetation/natural landscape as well.
- An area by a small stream and old road bridge.
- An allotment – a bit one dimensional and obvious?
I’ve got further explorations to do in the next couple of days and then I’ll make a decision.
