Texture

This is a range of photo's that I have taken to display the theme 'texture'.

The lighting in this picture brings out the vibrancy of the leaves and their colours, and shows off the details of the focused area.

Because this is close up to the bricks you can see the details and the rough texture, especially with the edges of the bricks.

With the main focal point of this picture being the screw, it brings out the contrast of it compared to the rest of the picture because the colours are so different. You can see the texture of the cloth/board around the edge as it is focused and is very bright.

You can particularly see the texture of the leaf in the middle of this picture, by looking at it's edges. With the rest of the image out of focus, your attention gets drawn to the main leaf.

Aperture

This is where the aperture is at the smallest and lets the most light into the lense, and focuses on everything.

This is the next aperture setting where it is slightly darker because less light has been let into the lense.

This is the next aperture setting which is even darker as hardly any light is let into the lense, but is more focu

sed.

This is on the highest aperture setting where it is completely dark as there is a tiny amount of light let into the lense, but it is more focused than the lowest aperture.

This is the second set of photo's that display different aperture settings.

1st image on lowest aperture settings.

2nd image on the next aperture setting.

This is the 3rd image with a higher aperture.

This is the 4th image which is on the highest aperture setting.

Using Lighting

These are images that I took with different lighting, such as flash kits on the camera.

This is the first image I took. I like this because against the black background it makes the colours stand out more. You can also see the details clearly because of the lighting.

I took this image using a red filter on the flash. This makes the picture more interesting and has tinted it red. It also makes the shadows stand out more which gives the picture a more sinister feel.

This picture is interesting because it is simple and only has one subject you can be drawn to so it doesn't have too much going on.

Photos taken with various lenses

For these pictures I have used a various selection of lenses depending on what I was hoping for with the image.

Old and Decaying

This is a selection of images that I took when I first started.

This picture is effective because you can see the silhouette of the tree in front of the sun, which makes the lighting look good. Where the tree is placed also adds interest to the picture, as it demonstrates the rule of thirds technique.

This image is effective because the lighting makes it stand out and the details all very visible.

I like these two pictures because they both are very detailed. The way that both the shells and the pine cones are placed makes it interesting as it only focuses properly on one, so the others are slightly blurred.

Old and New

This picture shows a contrast between old and new. You can see the detail in each of the leaves and the lighting brings out certain parts.
