As i went through all the pictures in order of the times they were taken I noticed some obvious things like the sun coming out and more cars appearing in the picture but also noticed the change of the ambience. Although the difference was very subtle, it was definitely there and if the first few photos were still and tranquil the later ones felt more vibrant.

I learnt that by taking photos overtime with a set interval is good for noticing gradual transformation that you would not see when they are taken randomly at random times. Also taking images and laying it out in order of its creation is good for seeing the progression of colour and light all at once whereas if it was filmed you could only see one scene at a time. However i noticed that with video you can capture movement.

I had no idea at what speed the cars were moving at and whether if anything else in the images were moving, just by looking at the photos, I actually had no consciousness of movement until watching the video i accidentally took. It shared the same composition as the photos but clarified what was moving and what was still which was really interesting. Everything else was motionless except the cars then i started thinking, you wouldn’t even realise that video was even a video if it wasn’t for the moving cars. The cars are an uncontrollable variable in this case which then led me to think how looking out from inside a moving vehicle we can’t control what we notice and what we don’t.

-What are some things that are artificially out of our control

-Do we notice more or less in those uncontrollable situations
