Blog Prompt 14

#14____Unknown vs. Familiar Space: When photography was invented, it became a way to document and reveal the specific aspects of both familiar and faraway places. Imagine a familiar place. Imagine a faraway place. How would you use photographs to convey the difference? Can you imagine any places that have been “touched” very little by humans? How might you photograph them?

 I think if I were to take a picture of a familiar place i would do my best to capture as much detail as possible. But in the unknown picture I would maybe have a little less depth of field. Keep a few things blurry. Maybe use a little burning around the edges, to make it look dream like. And lighten the highlights to add the same effect.


I guess it would depend though on the image. If I could i might try to capture more in focus. Like, if I was looking at a town from a forest or a hill, maybe i would try to use some brush or grass in the image. 


A place that has been touched very little by humans? Maybe something underwater. I think it would be very cool to capture an underwater image. I would photograph it from low vantage point, maybe even looking up.
