Pattern and Texture
Pattern - a regular and intelligible form or sequence discernible in the way in which something happens or is done.
Texture - Distinguishing between rough and smooth objects begins by understanding the way light bounces off surfaces of different textures. ... The texture of a rough object is most apparent in the area of transition between light and shadow; smooth surface texture is revealed by the presence of a sharply focused highlight.
Hard lighting - ,Hard light casts strong, well defined shadows. When hitting a textured surface at an angle, hard light will accentuate the textures and details in an object. creates a tense and aggressive mood and clearly outlines any shape.

William Neill:
William Neill, a resident of the Yosemite National Park area since 1977, is a landscape photographer concerned with conveying the deep, spiritual beauty he sees and feels in Nature. Neill's award-winning photography has been widely published in books, magazines, calendars, posters, and his limited-edition prints have been collected and exhibited in museums and galleries nationally.
I enjoy looking at his photographs as they show a sense of intense focus and depth, this allows him to capture an incredible amount of detail. By looking at the middle photo you can tell it's a plant but the species is unknown and this leaves us with the pure idea of the growth and movement of the plant by removing distractions such as colour and type.
The last image is of colourful stones in a river, the connotations of this are that through repetition anything can be worn smooth. The once jagged rocks are now smooth and beautiful.
Mindmap:
We created a mind map so we were taking focused, precise pictures and not wandering aimlessly. 
(AO:1. You must ensure that several of the visual ideas/inspirations within the image bank are pursued. )

Images that need improvement:

This image needs improvement as the focus is slightly off and the result is the image doesn't frame the leaf the way I hoped it would.
To resolve this I could crop the image so that only the leaf was in the shot but this would reduce the size of the image and so when it's blown up it will become pixelated. In reality if I wanted to use this image I would have to retake it and adjust my camera settings.

Framing is also a problem in this photograph as it is at a canted angle, this wasn't the desired effect. I could also crop this image and change the angle of the photograph but it would mean cropping more of the image off than I did when I took the photograph in the first place. Next time I would have to reshoot this image with a tripod to correct this.

theory please expand on texture wrt to the action of light and how we perceive texture through tonal difference and contrast.. pattern please expand irregular vs regular and update images.. Of the pictures taken I think that some or more linked to form and tone (the skulls and book) than texture an pattern, I gave you I thing 5 recommended photographers for the present time you need to link your work to these photographers unless you ask in advance to check.. the photographers work is challenging but will help you to create images based on the subject area..
ReplyDeleteI would for this series suggest that you photograph subjects outside as texture and pattern is everywhere... I would also like to see more of your pictures showing a clear link to the research images and research photographer other wise it is research for research sake... the AO2: please use screen prints as well as descriptions..
