Aimee Bruce weekly post 6#

Malasaña, Madrid, 2009
    Sze Tsung Leong is a British American photographer. He was born in Mexico city in 1970. The three photographs shown on this post is from his series "Cities". When looking at this photo above, one can clearly see that this image has a profound depth of field. In order to achieve this, Leong must have closed his aperture to about F32-F64. This would then mean that his shutter speed was drastically increased to 1/4-1/2 of a second (if not longer). It is also apparent that this photographer used a tripod because the image doesn't display any kind of camera shake.

When one observes the many images that make up the Cities series, they might feel a sense of wonderment. When preparing this series, Leong wanted to capture the many similar and different cities that reside all over the globe. The purpose of this was to show the aspect of us all living in diverse regions on one planet in a certain time frame. These cities, of course, ranged anywhere from bustling, geometrically zoned urban cities to quietly spaced towns.
