Task 2 - Reflections

I chose to capture this image because I admire the architecture and colour that went into this stain glass window. The centre design looks three dimensional this gives it a unique characteristic which makes it differ from other glass windows. Stain glass windows are interesting because they tell a story, artists can express themselves when painting this creates a sentimental value.  The light which can be seen in the top left corners is bright compared to the opposite angle which is dull, this variation in light a contrast and it also demonstrates the effect light has on colour by showing people the different shades of colour from the top o this image to the base.

The lines within the picture are detailed and it has a delicate flowing effect. The lines all originate from the centre base it then guides you throughout the entire image, the tones are subtle and relaxing, and it reflects nature. Furthermore the flowing lines help create elongated shapes which reflects the wilderness. The colours are vibrant but not overwhelming it creates a calming and soft feel.  

This image inspired me because of its imperfections, the smashed window has created dramatic and bold lines.  It contains a wide variety of shapes which are angular and curvaceous this creates a detailed image. The colours are pale and cold the only eye catching area is the black border it attracts people.  The patterns are also symmetrical this gives the image a particular theme which is simple and bold. 

This stained glass window inspired me through tis use of floral patterns, the overall colour and pattern represent summer. It has a unique uplifting effect on the viewer, the contrast is very strong this contradicts the overall theme. Leading lines are created by sunlight passing through the window, the texture feels grainy.

 This image is a reflection against a window, I enjoy viewing it because it contains distorted shapes which make it look like it was shot using a slow shutter speed. The blue fence helps create a consistent colour theme throughout the image the only conflicting area is the bright yellow foreground, but I prefer to have the bright yellow colour because I could use it to my advantage by using it to attract people.

 While I was carrying out my photo-shoot I came across a frozen pond which imitates glass, this image is a great way of playing on a viewer’s perception. The deep blue colour tones and smooth texture represent a cold winters day.

This building caught my attention because it contains a consistent pattern, this creates a symmetrical image, I also believe that having a consistent theme can have a soothing and relaxing effect on the viewers furthermore the purple and pink colours create an overall harmonising theme. Moreover the drain pipe which can be seen running throughout the centre of the image create leading lines which guide the viewer.  

 This image inspired me through its use of detail, there is a wide range of objects scattered throughout the image, this is great because it retains the viewers’ attention for a long period of time it keeps them occupied and entertained.  Furthermore the landscape format allows the viewer to capture a vast amount of objects, the angle is perfect this helps create an even and balanced image. The tree trunks add leading lines because I t guides the viewer vertically through the image this allows the artist to add emphasis to every area of the image, moreover the tree trunks create contrast to an overall vibrant image this is useful when creating an eye catching image

The feature that stands out on this image is the colour theme, it is extremely vibrant and eye catching. The rectangular window acts as a void sucking you into the centre of the image.  Due to the bland background the viewer is forced to look into the centre. 

This image is relaxing and calm, it represents nature and wildlife, the two birds which can be seen in the centre harmonise with the background this makes the viewer look closely to find the birds, I believe this technique creates a stimulating image because it makes people think. The red bush which is in the bottom left corner conflicts with the rest of the image it look as though it has been photoshopped into he image but this also shows the inconsistencies within nature.
