I photographed Mallard Point and Broad Cove in Somerset for my independent photo series.
What I found interesting about these two sites was that they were areas of Somerset where the railroads passed through and lots of goods were imported. I learned that this was a railroad that connected from Fall River through Somerset and continued on. I photographed where the railroad used to be at mallard Point and where the railroad was at Broad cove, with the posts still standing today at both places. I captured what is left of the old railroads that passed through Somerset and on. At Mallard Point I made sure to capture the pathway that leads from the entrance all the way to the end, since this is where the railroad was before. At Broad Cove I made sure to photograph the long pillars that are still standing today of the railroads. Photo 2 I decided to shoot because there were birds flying and I wanted to capture the bird and the pillars from the pre existing railroad tracks. So my point of view was from straight on and fairly normal distance. For the last photo I tried to capture the water view over looking into Fall River, using a pinhole camera. The pinhole stood out for a week. I used photoshop to brighten some of my photos, along with adjusting levels and vibrance.
