Image bank, lines

These two pictures show two manmade examples of lines in structures. Both are beneficial to the structures strength while also adding to the complex designs that they form.

These images show how lines have naturally formed in the environment and in living things to create beautiful patterns. I selected these images as they each show a different aspect of lines in nature.

This image is my own example of lines. I selected this image because i felt that the detail in the bark would be very fitting as an in depth representation of lines in nature

this image shows a tiger with a striped line pattern in its fur. this acts as a natural camouflage in some environments. the whiskers on the tigers face also show different lines on the tiger apart from the fur.

This image features a building that shows interesting line structures. the first is the simple grid design in which the windows form up the side of the building. The second set of lines that are featured show a criss-cross pattern that creates a diamond shape up the building.

This image features a desert location with an almost hypnotic sand formation that has been formed in a natural pattern. you can notice the similarities in each line but you can also see the differences slightly.

This image shows a two rail lines cutting through the autumn forest in a straight line. the images background is full up with trees that curve off in multiple directions in an immense number.

Lines evaluation

we were set with the task of exploring the college in search of different examples of lines within the environment. I found this task to be quite successful as i was able to find many examples of lines around the college. I was able to take a wide range of photos with a good amount of variation between the different ways in which i showed examples of lines in the environment. These examples included lines in shadow, building structure and plant life. Once i took the pictures i created a contact sheet of my photos and edited four of the best photos out of the collection.

I selected these two photos because i wanted to show colour in both nature and in a modern environments. The first picture shows a tree that i decided to get a close up on in order to show the complicated and vast pattern of the bark. I like this image because it is very detailed and is only focused on the lines on the tree as it blurs out the background. The second image is a complete opposite as it is very simplistic, showing bold lines with strong colour tones that make this photo interesting.

Progression:

Although i found this task to be successful, if i could change anything i would swap out some images that may seem either slightly repeated or dull in colour with a couple of new examples that express different examples of lines in a more exciting way. This topic has caused me to focus more on the individual details of an image and I am able to use my knowledge of this subject to capture more detail.
