 Edward Burtynsky's series "Oil" investigated the vast landscapes only made possible by the discovery and mass consumption of Oil. i have selected these two shots from the series as i feel he is effectively able to convey the size of a space using depth of field to integrate the foreground and background, something i have been trying to achieve in my wharf shoot.
