• 1841 - William Henry Fox Talbot developed the calotype, an early negative - positive process allowing multiple prints. "The Fruit Sellers " by William Henry Fox Talbot

This shift paved the way for instant image control, sharing and a more a accessible photography experience.

Modern day

Photographs I have taken and description

This image shows a tall, leafless tree standing in a dry field under a clear blue sky. The tree appears to be in a state of dormancy or decay, as it lacks leaves and has a rough, textured trunk with some signs of vegetation growing on it. Surrounding the tree, there are dried corn stalks and some green plants, indicating a transitional or post harvest agricultural setting.

The background consists of more trees, some of which have green foliage, creating a contrast with the barren tree in the foreground. The sky is bright and clear, suggesting it is a sunny day, possibly in a dry season. The overall composition gives a sense of solitude, resilience or change in the natural environment.

The image is taken from a low angle perspective, making the tree appear taller and more dominant. The horizon line is relatively low, allowing more sky to be visible, creating a sense of  openness. It is a medium to long shot, capturing the full tree along with its surrounding environment. The tree is positioned slightly off- center, making the composition more dynamic. The image follows the rule of third, with the tree aligning with vertical lines and the ground occupying the lower third, adding balance and visual appeal.

The image captures a spiritual or religious scene, featuring a white stupa ( Buddhist monument) in the background, a person standing near it, and pink lotus flowers in the foreground. The sunlight is positioned behind the stupa, creating a backlit effect that highlights the silhouette of the person and the structure. Flags surrounding the stupa  add movement and cultural significance. The contrast between the sharp, colourful lotus flowers and the slightly blurred background adds depth to the composition.

Low angle shot making the stupa appear grand while emphasizing the flowers in the foreground and background. And close- up shot ( for the flowers) combined with a medium shot ( for the stupa and person), creating a layered effect that adds depth and meaning to the image. 

The image is a landscape photograph showcasing a rural scene. A narrow path runs through the center of the frame, leading the viewer's eye towards a small hill in the distance. The path is flanked by fields of dry, golden- brown vegetation, likely a harvested or dormant crop. Several trees with lush green foliage are scattered throughout the scene, adding a touch of vibrant colour. The sky is a clear, bright blue, suggesting a sunny day.

The camera angle is at eye level, providing a natural and straightforward perspective of the scene. And also, the camera shots is a wide shot (long shot). This type of shot captures a broad view of the landscape, emphasizing the relationship between the path, the fields, the trees and the hill. It provides a sense of openness and space.

This picture depicts the ''Thissa Lake''. I took this picture when I went to Kataragama. In here this picture depicts the medium shot, taken from a slightly titled low angle, creates a dynamic effect. The background features a peaceful lake, distant hills and a sky painted with warm sunset colors. The rich hues of the sunset  contrast beautifully with the cool blue sky and the dark silhouettes of trees and fences. Tree branches in the foreground naturally frame the scene, adding depth to the composition. 

The image showcases various natural elements including calm water, trees and scattered clouds. As well as the lighting is a mix of soft natural sunlight from the sunset and the gentle glow of an artificial streetlight. Depth is welled maintained, with the fence and trees in the foreground leading the eye toward the distant lake and horizon.

This picture depicts the ''Udawalawa Reservoir''. And this image shows a peaceful natural scene with a calm body of water, a clear blue sky, and lots of fluffy white clouds. The water's edge is in the foreground with some sticks and grass partly submerged in the shallow water. In the background, there's shoreline with some greenery and a rocky area. 

 The image is a vertical shot, taller than it is wide. This helps capture both the water and the sky in one frame. As well as the camera is positioned very low, close to the water's surface.. This is a low- angle shot, giving an interesting perspective from near the ground. This is the wide- angle shot, showing a large area of the landscape. It captures the water, shoreline and sky, creating a sense of depth and openness.
