Tone Work Diary

Lesson Thursday 8th of October, our element was Tone. Although i had missed this lesson, i asked class mates what I missed so i caught up in my own time and took photos at around my house trying to find different tones. I i think i understood tone quite well. I enjoyed playing around and trying to get different effects.

Below is my favourite photo of Tone.

This is on of my favouite images because of the gradient. The tones remind me of a sunset but i also like the possible metaphoric message; that everything is different through everyone's eyes. In this case, It is almost like the background colours are colours through a realists eyes but then when you look throuogh the lens you get a glimpse of an optimists tranquility.

Below is a photo I do not like.

I do not like this photo because it came out grainy the focus which was suppose to be my dog did not show. The background is in just as much focus as the desired focus. I also do not like this photo because the tones look odd The redy/yellow creates a messy feeling whilst the dogs features arent shown in detail either.

If I were to go back ad re-shoot I would try and use better lighting options or have a better focus point. I would also try to use human form more as I feel liek they offer lost of different tones and shadows. I would also experiment with black & white photos. Here are a few examples of things I would like to try next time:
