Anyone who studies the transport press will be aware that magazine editors like to publish images of trains, buses and aircraft ‘Within the Environment’ (WtE).
That means that apart from the subject which is generally reduced in size, the viewer also gets to see the background which will include all manner of items such as fields, hills, trees, people, animals, other similar subjects, street furniture, railway infrastructure etc, etc. The list goes on.
My approach has always been to crop tight to the subject, after all that’s what people are looking at, or is it ?
At least that’s what I have always thought.
However after much discussion wth friend Peter Rose and others I am prepared to try to give the ‘WtE’ approach a try.
This blog then, using images ‘borrowed’ from Peter and used with his permission is a trial of the ‘Within the Environment’ philosophy.
It will be interesting to see in the statistics I get from ‘Flickr’ how it is received by your goodselves.
If you like it, keep clicking on the image which will translate itself into views that the images have achieved.
