Texture

This photo was taken by Brian L. Anderson. I like this image because the texture in the photo looks as if you can touch it due to the close up angle it was taken at. Also it is clear that this picture is about rough texture because the image fills the picture. I also like the time of day this picture was taken in because the light that is shining on the tree bark is casting shadows within the cracks creating a contrast in colour as well as texture on the bark.This photo was taken by me and I like this because you can see the close detail within the tyre and can also see the different angle. The close up angle allows you to see the dirt on the tyre and also the crack within it. I like how the light is hitting it because it creates sharp shadows in the cracks and also ands depth to the photo. Also the light creates not just only a light and dark contrast but a clean and dirty one, the light shining on the front of the tyre makes the tyre look shiny, so making it look clean.
I like this photo because it is very textured and i think it is a good example of 'Texture' and represents it well. Also i was inspired by Brian L. Anderson's photo of rough textured bark. I tried to angle the camera to make the image took elongated and more interesting but also to create those sharp shadows that Brian L. Anderson created in his photo. This then creates the light and dark contrast throughout the photo.
I also like this photo because it looks as if the wall is melting. I created this effect by angling the camera at the side to give it more of a dripping affect rather than taking it front on to make it look less effective. As you can see from the image bellow which i took from front on it looks less affective and the light bounces off the wall rather than creating shadows like the image above is doing. So i believe that the image above is a better representation of "texture" Than the photo bellow.

I like these two photos because you can see the texture and detail in it clearly due to the close up shot it has been taken at. The texture in this photo has a grainy and bubbly effect which is also interesting to look at, which is what i like about the photo. I also like the way the light is hitting the photo in that angle because it gives the burnt black a metallically look and also it gives a contrast of light and dark as the light slowly dims as it gets lower down. However i prefer the image above because i think the image works better more close up so you can see the intense detail.
