What we done on our trip to Tate Museum
Well we got the train there and while we was one the train we saw a famous actor out of eastenders!!! anyway when we got there we wondered the streets taking the beautiful day to day life of london and taking pictures of unusual things. We took these pictures while being in london streets because that covers street photograhy. Most of us captured good moments while it lasted. When we got to the museum we could sense and tell a lot of people ( school and public) people will be here as its good to learn about them. We saw some beautiful and mind blowing pictures and sculptures there is was an amazing experience to get you thinking about the artist there.

I liked this picture as the composition was so great.It has a wide range of objects in there. It was a wide landscape with such beautiful contrast such as the blue sky as it contrasting(blending) in with the clouds and which made it better was that there was not a lot of clouds so your eyes would drawed to the lower part of the image. Nearly in the centre there is a building in my opinion stands out the most as its the tallest within the picture and was white and the other buildings was dark. If you look closely there is a aeroplane. This makes you ask questions, Is it a aeroplane? or is it a bird? you cant really tell as it is far away in the distance.
This image i liked because it was full of umbrella and its on top of the restraint i just thought they made it draw attention to people to come there they looked good up like that its unusual as you wouldnt think you would see this normally. There are a wide range of colours which is good as there is a lot going on. The composition is not good as we dont need most of the picture eg; the walls and the draming
I liked this picture the most as the sky was quiet dark and the shard stood out. This picture i took was at the moment type of shot it was a quick shop as i saw the aeroplane. That made the image so much better. The aeroplane and the sky had great contrast as they blended together , they didnt blend so you can see the aeroplane but it was the same kind of contrast between them. In my opinion my eyes drawed to to the aeroplane the most. This is something im glad i didnt miss out on. The colours are really dull but in a good way as it all blended together. in this picture there is not much going on as
The rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is a grid which helps you when taking photographs to where the image is set within the composition. In the rule of thirds there are nine squares. Your pictures don't have to go in each square that is optional.In each square doesnt have to have an object/ person in and it doesnt have to be directly in the square it can be half in half.like shown in the image.
There can be negative space within the picture its doesnt all have to been in the squares within the grid

Similarities
Similarities in these images are that they are both black and white. There are two people in both of the images . Both of the images are in the centre of the image. The lighting within these pictures are similar.
Differences
There are a lot of differences within these pictures. These photographers aim differently within the people in the picture. William Klein aims it at young people. His photos are with children, but Robert Frank aims it more at the older people. So most of his pictures are taken with older people. William Klein captures a lot within his pictures for example the background , showing more of the picture and to get a clear understanding of what is in the picture. This shows it was taken with a wider range of lenses and that the photographer as thought deeply with what is behind the image.Robert Frank image is more of a darkish background with nothing behind showing that maybe there is not much in the picture to look at.

Henri Cartier Bresson
Early Years
Widely considered one of the leading artistic forces of the 20th century, Henri Cartier-Bresson was born on August 22, 1908 in Chanteloup, France. The oldest of five children, his family was wealthy—his father made a fortune as a textile manufacturer—but Cartier-Bresson later joked that due to his parents' frugal ways, it often seemed as though his family was poor.
Educated in Paris, Cartier-Bresson developed an early love for literature and the arts. Creativity was certainly a part of his DNA. His great-grandfather had been artist and an uncle was a noted printer. Even his father dabbled in drawing.
As a teenager, Cartier-Bresson rebelled against his parents' formal ways. Early in his adult he drifted toward communism. But it was art that remained at the center of his life. In 1927 he began a two-year stint studying painting under noted early Cubist, André Lhote, then moved to Cambridge University to immerse himself further in art and literature courses.
