Charlie Waite

 Charlie has made the photo look Sepia, which makes the photo look old. The lines in this picture are created by light and shade.  The eye is drawn to the wall at the end of the walkway.  The bicycle is visible halfway down the walkway, but not instantly recognisable.
 Charlie Waite uses leading lines to draw your eye to the tree in the distance in this photo.  The colour of the lavender is contrasting with the blue and white of the sky and the hills in the background.  This photo makes me want to walk along these fields.  You can almost smell the lavender. The tone of the photograph (the darker lines between the lavender) also draws you towards the tree.  This landscape is typical of Charlies work, as he is a renowned landscape photographer.
 Charlie has used dept of field in this photograph to make the tree stand out.  The colours of the flowers contrasts with the green of the grass and the tree.  The shadow under the tree draws the eye to the center of the picture.  The colours are pastel shades apart from the tree which stands out because it is a warm colour.  The lines behind the tree give depth to the picture because you can see that the field carries on behind the tree.
 Charlie has captured shade and light in this photograph.  The shadows of the clouds passing overhead creates the patchwork of colour on the ground.  This photograph is taken from above, looking down at the landscape below.  This picture gives out a warmth.  The colours are all pastels apart from the shadows. The copse of trees in the center is in complete contrast to the flatness of the surrounding landscape.
 Charlie has taken this photograph using subtle light which is breaking through the branches of the trees and the shadows cast on the ground.  The light at the end of the line of trees is clearly visible and he has used high depth of field to achieve this effect. The silver birch trees all have smooth trunks with no lower branches which gives structured lines. I think that Charlie took this photograph to make the viewer want to go beyond the line of trees to find out what is there.
Charlie's photograph looks more like a painting than a photo.  The blossom on the ground and the trees looks like snow. The lines lead the viewers eye into the distance and off down the lane.  This looks like it could be from a fairytale or children's book. I like this picture a lot.  Certain parts of the trees in the distance are forming shapes such as circles and squares.  The building in the foreground looks run down, but it is in keeping with the rest of the photograph. This photo makes me want to go and be adventurous.
