Connecting essay - 2

This first photo is one I found on the internet of a light drawing photo that has been done in a studio or somewhere dark without the use of a flash or other light source to shown the background or foreground.  The photo shown colour and line and has a messy unorganised composition although it does have a fairly well defined even border that the light trails don't enter around the edge of the frame.

This second photo is one I myself took and it shows an array of different colours some of which have blended together to create additional shades or colours within the photo. The composition was not planned at all before I did this it was very much just take long exposure photos while waving glow sticks around in front of the camera and so I ended up with a bunch of photos that had a messy composition. This photo also shows line through some of the more defined/exposed parts of the photo and also portrays shape to a certain degree although it is not overly clear and you do have to look quite carefully.

Both of these photographs relate mainly through the fact that they are both of the similar things a messy light drawing with no real intention or outcome, they also relate through their individual use of the formal elements of colour and line although my one is more colourful while the other has more definition in its lines.
