3. 20th century/ modern day comparison
This is an example of a street in the early 20th century, and as you
can see, the photographer has placed the subject of the photo in
the center of the shot, as they were unable to use such tools as
the ‘rule of thirds grid’ to the amount of accuracy as it is today.
The quality of this image is also very poor due to the lack of
technology and the inability, at the time, to capture such light
within the photo to give it a higher quality.
This, on the other hand, is a contemporary image of a street at
night. Even though this image does not have as much light as the
first image, because it is at night compared to the other image
which in the day time, it still has a higher quality than that of the
first. This is due to the advance in technology over a hundred
years. This photo also has the ability to use the ‘rule of thirds grid’
and keeps the main subject in the corner of the photo, allowing
the rest of the photo to make the subject standout.
