final 6 re-photography


All of the images are from Claremont road. After experimenting with the editing I decided to have the older images layered on top of the current photos kinda like they have been ghosted over the past. 


You can see with the photo above that their was some damage to the older image and it shows through, which I thought showed that the older photo is still present within the current photo kind of like the past is leaking in to the present. The houses are pretty much the same as they were in the older photo but because the angle was slightly different the house look to be in a sort of double vision.


With this photo you can see that not much has change at all except their are black bins and that their is ivy over the house were in the older photo, that was photographed with a Polaroid instant camera, that their is no ivy over the house. Again the house is slight;y of double vision but I like to think that it is showing the past and the present in one.


I edited this photo slightly different to the over since I could not get the right angle for the photo and it did not work very well when I edited in the same way as the the others. As I said in the re-photographed images post I liked the corner shop more then the house because I thought the corner shop and its window display was more interesting and had more character then the house. So I only edited the shop in to the photo instead of other layering the whole of the older photo.


As one of the previous photos this photo is similar but I liked how it showed the moving cars and the man walking along the street which was not in the older photo. The cars look like ghost since you can see the older image through them.


I think this photo worked out the better then the rest because nothing looks to be of double vision and you can clearly see the changes that have happened other the years for example the road. I like how their is a mix of the older photos with it black and white signs and the current photos with the red signs. The road from the older photo looks to be ghostly road since it fades out into the background.


Editing this image was not as easy as the others because I did not know what the angle was so editing the older photo on to the current photo was hard since I did not know if it would work or not but I think even though the angle is wrong that it does show you how time has affected the church. I also think since the church is not as big or a as wonderful and it once was that it indicates how the church is not what it once was.
