lines- straight image

Lines- Work diary

Evaluation of session;
As it was my first session of photography i found it was slightly challenging to get the right angels and to get the lighting right but overall i enjoyed the session as we were able to take pictures of what we wanted to because 'lines' is quite a broad topic and lines can be found everywhere you look.
I enjoyed the first session as it was the first time i have been given a specific subject to take pictures of, rather than just taking pictures of what i found interesting, it was good to have a topic such as lines as it made me focus more on the detail of things and notice that lines make up almost everything, which was helpful as although we had a topic to take pictures of there are so many different things we were able to take pictures of.

This image was one of the first pictures that i took when we were told tot ale pictures of lines. I immediately thought of taking a picture of a wall as brick walls are very common and are well known for having lines. This image shows vertical and horizontal lines. I don't like this picture as a lot of people took similar pictures, however a positive aspect of this picture is that the lines are not just straight as that appear to be at a distance. they are jagged and imperfect when you look closer.



The second image includes about different varieties of lines. it shows straight lines, imperfect lines. The straight lines are man made where us the imperfect lines in the middle of the bench are natural lines that are there because they are the pattern of the wood used for the bench. The straight line in this picture sort of separates the picture down the middle. In the background there is another man made line, there is bricks on the floor which show horizontal and vertical lines.


Progression;
If i were to continue to take photographs of lines i would take pictures of lines as a part of something greater, such as lines on a building as most of the picture i took are quite close up and you are unable to see where the lines come from. As well as this another thing i would do would be to take more pictures of natural lines as the majority if the pictures i took were of man made lines, like signs and walls.

                the building that they came from

Both of these images of lines are used as symbols.
The first image is of an album cover from the band Bring me the Horizon. The image is the symbol for the word 'Sempiternal' which means ever lasting. The use of circular lines in this image portray the idea of ever lasting as circle have neither a start or a finish.  The second image is of the Deathly Hallows symbols from the film Harry Potter. I used this image as each of the lines included in this                
symbolise different things from the story but all join together to        
form a greater thing. These are both examples of how lines can be used to symbolise something with meaning.









The next two images show how natural lines are formed with all different shapes and lengths. The first image is of a fingerprints. Every fingerprint has a unique shape that is useful when it comes to    
identifying individuals. On a fingerprint the
lines are all naturally made to be different
to the other lines; so there will be lines on a
fingerprint that are longer or more curved
or thicker than others. The second image
is of the bark on a tree. On every tree the
lines in the bark create different patterns
that make the tree different from any other.

The final two images show a desert and an ocean.
In both of these images it shows naturally occurring and changing lines.
These lines change when the wind blows.
I chose write about these images as the
lines have no set shape and change constantly.
In the first image the clouds form a less obvious line, that each from their own individual shape that also changes frequently.

The lines (veins) on this leaf are an example of branched lines.
It starts off as one solid line and as you reach the top the line starts to branch off into smaller lines and then them lines brach off again into even smaller, thiner lines, but all of these lines originated from the same one.

The lines in this image are the lines on a zebra. The lines in this picture vary in shape and size as the use is the camouflage the Zebra. 
These lines are natural and show how lines can serve a specific purpose.
The black and white lines contrast agains each other and give each Zebra an individual pattern.

The lines on this road show how lines can be continuous and curved. The lines in this image are also a bright yellow colour so they contrast against the dark grey colour of the road.

 The line in this image symbolises the word 'infinity'. This image is a good example of how something with a great meaning could by symbolised by something as simple as a line. This is the symbol for 'infinity' as the line doesn't have a start or an end.
