This image consists of an old gas pylon, that seems to be located in a suburban area. The image seems to have a sharp, well-focused look; this image must have a long depth of field. The image has a very light sepia tone to it; this creates an old aging effect. There is also a high contrast to the image as the pylon appears very defined and sharp, this creates a very bold feel. Also, other than the image having a sepia effect, it’s clear that the image is in black and white.Because the image is in black & white clearly the image was developed in the darkroom using chemicals. Also the image appears to be quite old so an old film camera might have been used, as well as a high contrast filter. Also due to the sepia effect in the image, the Bechers must have used a coloured filter or old film. The mood of this image is a very mixed one; this shown as the atmosphere it creates is very old. The black and white effect mixed with the sepia effect both create a very aging image, which makes you feel drained and depressed, but the sharpness and boldness of this image gives it a bit of life, this makes you feel calm and relaxed. This image must express the different attitudes and aspects of the Bechers.
