Connecting essay four

 This photograph shows the splashing milk as it hits the bag of the cereal. The bag is placed slightly of centre and is placed against a dark background in order to show the full extent of the milk splash. The colouring of the cereal is quite bright and really stands out agains the black background. This photograph is most likely created for pleasure as I don't feel that this photo is a good photo for advertising. The photo is interesting because of how the milk has gone of in all different directions once it has hit the bag which against the black background makes an attractive and unique pattern.

My photograph shows the milk being poured into a bowl of shreddies. I chose to have the close up lens so that the stem of the milk can be seen in detail I edited the photograph to have a white background as I found this made the cereal stand out. The colouring of the cereal is quite bright also with the intention of making it stand out. I have chosen to put the milk stream central to the photo so that this is the main focal point. Generally this is a fairly dull photograph with very little intention.




These two photographs connect because they are both showing milks reaction as it hits the breakfast cereal. They also both feature a bright positive colouring for the cereal creating contrast with the milk and cereal. In both images the bowl is also placed as central as possible in order to control the focal point. A main difference between these photographs is the choice of background and pot used to contain the serial. I feel that the bowl is  more natural and realistic container however the black background in the professional photograph works better and shows the reaction of the milk as it hits the plastic bag.
