Tone work diary

When i went out to take pictures of tone, me and grace decided to take the pictures in and around the college, in residential areas and corridors etc. I like this picture of grace a lot because the light from the window illuminates one side of her and shows diversity of tone because the light from the right hand side where the light emanates from contrasts with the darker tones on the opposite side because of the lack of light, i took this purposely to show range in tone, the subtle changes in dark and light, creates a melancholy atmosphere.

Then we decided to take the shoot outside to get a wider range of tones, i decided to shoot a landscape piece, i tried to encapsulate as many different tones within this photo, i managed to get lots of different tones from trying to get as many buildings and features of a landscape as possible, shooting in black and white really helps to show off the contrast of different tones.

I wanted to use light again to show off the change in tone, i wanted to shoot landscape again but portray different features and compositions, in this image the path that i took a picture of was wet from the rain this is why the light in the image illuminates the path so much creating a very light tone this contrasts with the darkness of the overhanging trees, the way the path winds off also shows depth of field.

I don't like this image as the exposure of light overbears the tonality of the picture as the definition of the leaves are not very clear, and the image is messy in subject matter, next time to avoid the way in which the light corrupts the image it could b taken from a different angle to portray the light but to not let it overbear.

I then decided to look for tonality in different subjects, in this picture i wanted to shoot buildings, the architecture of the building shows off tonality perfectly for example the ridge that curves shows shadow and this creates another element in tonality, the different shades and darkness's in the color of the building all contrast together to show off the diversity in tone.
