Discussing with colleagues on how i we have developed our ideas and the reasoning of our secondary research on how and what formal element inspired us.

# data[].attributes.body
My overall evaluation of the images of Tone & Texture, is that I'm pleased with my outcomes as I felt I achived the right composition as i wanted to capture the unusual aspects of nature.
Texture - My orginal ideas are a representation of my mood board and plans made pervious as I wanted my shoot to show natural forms in the autumn age. Using photoshop I increased the satuation to get a richer image.Beth moon captures some of the most unique shoots of nature forms which helped me to look for the enchanting aspects within nature.
Next time I would possibly do my editing different, to create an abstract effect which would add a complete new element.

Tone
I choose this elemets as I like the mood added to the picture , I did this though adding a tonal filter and using adjustments to inhance the darker and light shades to add a mood of purity as I wanted to enhance the content. My plan for the element of tone was originally going to be a decaying tree, however still sticking with the natural forms theme, I captured this intriguing roots, this compares with my influences, Beth Moon for her enchanting photography , also Edward Weston inspired me to use a tonal to increase the depths of tone within my own images. To evolve from this i would make more of a contrast, to create a different feel and visual laungue.

My main stengths though-out would be my eye of texture and detailed images. My weakness is my editing, i want to gain a greater knowledge and experience with that, to make my images even more detailed in all aspects.

TONE

I have chosen tone as you are able to see the mood and depth within the roots of the tree. By editing the image on Photoshop I added a tonal filter to give a sinister look to this close up shot. I think by darkening the filter it adds more depth to the tones, to gov more of a gripping effect when viewing the image.
I took this with a D90 on a shutter of 1/1000 , ISO - 3200 & aperture - F4.5. Using this these settings I was able to captured such a crisp image but will a blurred depth which adds framing for the main subject.
This relates to my inpirsion of Beth Moon as I've captured the rustic looking roots, I like how there are so intertwining in to the thickness of the tunk. For me this a expression of strength, to blossom to beauty, roots are the foundation of growth.

TEXTURE

In this image I wanted to capture the puzzling growths of this mature tree. I close do take it from a portrait view as you can see the multiply growths. I shoot this on shutter speed - 1/1000 , ISO - 3200 , aperture - F3.5. I wanted to still have the sharpness but as the angle was different I had to change the aperture.
This relates to my influence because within the huge spectume of Epping Forest there are aged tress, which Beth Moon like to showcase in her photography.
When editng this photo I wanted to make it more richer in the earthy tones of nature, to inhanse the texture though out. All of the green leaves held by the inperfect twigs give the image a contrast against the dark tree tunk. Also this image shows a repersentation of line thoughout the bark. The visual language is growth; the tunk is a repetition of being strong and always growing though time, i see the growths as patches of healing and progression.

Continuing through the shoot i needed to catch a good texture,to create a better tone when edited. However I found that this angle of the tree looked far more intriguing with a slightly more closer shot to capture the roots of the aged tree.

# data[].attributes.body
Over the duration of my shoot, i experimented with different angles, iso, shutter speeds and apertures of slightly different forms of nature. I found in the shoot  that some images came out a bit to under-exposed, however by alliterating my iso, i got a brighter and shaper final photo.

BETH MOON
Beth moon influenced me as i am so intrigued by her photography, it made me feels if i wanted to just feel the texture of the bizarre trees all over the world , which is shown very strong through out her work. I always like the use of tone in this particular project because it really increases the depth of the texture within her images.

# data[].attributes.body
Beth Moon
Beth is a photographer that has travelled the world for many years to capture the most ancient trees. She uses range of tones throughout her textured images.
Beth Moon gave me inspiration for my final idea; natural forms due to her take on, and how she has such depth with in simplicity of nature.

Here is a mind map of formal elements, where i have presented a visual understanding of these elements.

Darkroom photography is where you use of light sensitive paper, which is developed with number of chemicals; dark rooms have been created and used since the inception of photography in the early 19th century. Both of these types of photography have are the foundations on today’s knowledge in the growth in technology, which was the start of a whole evolution of today’s digital world.

# data[].attributes.body
Using the pinhole camera i was able to capture this image. I exposed the light sensitive paper for about 3minutes. following the imaging being developed in the dark-room. I was able to catch the texture within the tree and the bushes. Also the repetition of line. I like the contrast from pinhole photography, it adds a complete to new appearance to the photo. Next time i would keep it more balanced so that i don't get the darkness the right hand side.

Using the light sensitive paper, an exposing light in the dark room i have achieved this photo-gram, by using the process to develop , stop and fix the image. Next time i would use more items that don't let so much light in so there is more of a contrast in the image.

A pinhole photographer has captured such detail with the device. The reflection of the water adds the element tone though out the whole photo. There is also a use of contrast as the positive becomes negative.

Mark Tweedie

Tweedie’s work of pinhole photography instantly draws me to the blurred motion; it adds an element of mystery as you can only see his shape. The image overall is a very grey tone, representing the mood of sorrow.  The contrast of frozen and blurred motion, these effects create a element of confusion, this piece is called “There is a simple crust between man and oblivion.” I believe the moral behind that is the soil, the flowers life source, will one day be the crust that covers humans resting souls.

Camera Obscura
Definition – Originally called a dark chamber which developed into camera obscura. The 18th century invention is a darkened box with a convex lens or aperture for projecting the image of an external object on to a screen inside, a forerunner of the modern camera. The devise using the science of light, to create a projected image, this invention was the very early stages of photography, however in the 18th century many artists would use this technique to get amazing art pieces.

Types of Camera Obscura –
The pinhole camera is a lens-less camera, but when light passes through exposing the paper to the light, which will then be developed future in the darkroom.

The first to use pinhole photograph Sir David Brewster, a Scottish scientist, was one of the first to make pinhole photographs, in the 1850s.

Aldo Tolino -
Aldo uses a great use of geometry. In this photo there is a strong element of shape, i like how we can see the texture of paper. i think the concept of his work is very unique in the way he is taking a portrait photo and editing it manually.  This photo has use of repeptition of line where there are so many layers of patterns over lapping.

Here Weston has captured such a depth within the photo, the position and angle of the really draws you to the photo due to the converging lines. I think that Edward may have used these elements to represent the dark meaning behind the rams head, for example for when something is not positive , we relate it to being upside down. i.e. - an upside-down cross.

Here Nadar has a style of such depth in his photos. This one particular has a foggy effect, which adds mystery to the photo. Even though there is such depth, he has still captured the texture of the of the damp ground.

Rankin has used a repetition of spikes to create a sharp texture. This communicates a very tough and strong image. The contrast of the black and white makes the photo very powerful. Also the photo is very precise and equal.

Edward Weston -
Here Edward had used the element of lines, the photo has a lot of depth due to the converging lines, which makes you looking even more deeply into the photo. Also the element of texture in the photo, as the photo is black&white, the element of tone I very strong. This photo is named the “veins of the sand” in think he is implies how the dessert is breathing.

Using the Nikon D90 i captured a shoot with a shallow depth, i got this effect due to the use of aperture. I like how there is decay in the leaves where autumn is here, however you can still see the vibrant greens .

In the modern age photographers are using camera obscura in different concepts and ideas, he using the element of the projection to for fill the space of the room, which really adds illusion to the image.
