Photographic Formative 2 Texture


Out of the many pictures I took, this was the one I chose for texture. It is the wall of Sporting Life on Yonge. This element was a bit harder to portray in a photo than others, but this one I feel really shows it well. You can plainly see it resembles the texture "rough" because of its jagged edges. The shadows also really emphasize the larger edges potruding from the wall that make the wall very rough. These reasons lead me to believe that this is the best picture to categorize the element Texture.

Photographic Formative 1 Line




This Photograph I call Lattice Fence. Although I had great difficulty choosing between 2 other photos I took, I chose this one because it uses straight lines in many different ways. First you see the first part of the lattice, it's cross hatched and makes your eyes travel slowly down the rest of the fence. Then the next section of lattice blurs together, which causes your eye to jump to the straight 2x4 all the way down the fence. Lastly, it reaches another cross hatched piece of lattice. I really like this photo and I really believe it captures the element of line very well. This seems to be the best of the 39 photos I took.
