Texture- Mind map

Texture- Work diary

Evaluation

The aim of this assignment was to capture the formal element of line through photography.  This was a slightly harder element to capture due to the fact texture photography works best with shadows but it was a relatively dark day when the photos were taken which slightly dims the effect of the texture contrast.   There was a large overlap between texture and pattern as many patterns are made up of textured materials. 

Favourite image

This is my least favourite image because of the fact that the sculpting of the stone creates a variety of visible textures.  I feel that the texture in this image is amplified by the fact that the image is all one colour, this singular colour creates a larger sense of contrast between the shadows of the image and it's surface therefore creating a greater sense of depth in the image.

Least favourite image 

This is my least favourite image because of the way that the image crosses over with the element of line. I feel that if I had shot using a deep depth of field on the bikes tyre opposed to a shallow depth of field over the portion of the wheel that I would have created an image more representative of texture.

Progression

For this formal element I had to zoom in frequently and it was sometimes a struggle to keep the camera still and in focus.  If I were to do this shoot again I would consider using a tripod and exploring macro photography to create more steady and detailed images.

Aspiration

I would aspire to create images in a similar style to Lucy Shires.

Texture- Straight images

Texture- Straight images

I like this image because of the appearance of the water droplets and the way that the red stems of the leaves contrasts with the green of the leaves.

I like this photo because of the way that the lighting casts shadows and gives a good appearance of texture.  I like the way which the coin is positioned in the left bottom third of the image so draws your eye into the image.

I like this image because I like the way that the shadows cast by the various layers of stone create an interesting textured appearance on the stone.

I like this picture because I like the way that the different tones of the brick combined with the shadows create a crumbly appearance and texture.

I like because the close up shot and depth of field give it a flaky textured appearance and the red compliments the green of the moulded surface and makes it stand out.

I like this image because I like the way that the bubbly texture of the surface casts shadows.  I also like the way in which the images grey tone emphasis the shadows which are formed.  The fact that the surfaces crater like texture features holes of different sizes also interests be as it gives the image a more natural appearance.

I like this image because I like the way that the camera angle enables you to see the crumbled edges of the bricks which gives the image an interesting texture.  I also like the way that depth of field has been employed in order to have more focus on the bricks in the images foreground.

I like this image because the close up image of the cog allows you to see the texture of the cogs surface.  The texture in this image gains impact from the way in which the image is in black and white this tonal contrast gives the texture a more powerful effect.  A macro lens was likely used in order to capture this image as it is an extreme close up and contains a great deal of detail.

I like this picture due to the fact that moss gives the image a unique texture.  I also like the brown and grey colour scheme which is created by the moss and rock.

I like the texture created by the split in the wood as the breaks in the wood are deeper in the centre and not very frequent but are more frequent and less shallow in the outer edges of the wood.

Dictionary definition- the feel, appearance or consistency of a surface or substance.

Personal defintion- the smoothness or jaggedness of an object.
