Line Work Diary

Evaluation
The focus of my photographs was lines, horizontal, vertical, curved, diagonal and converging lines. I was concentrating on each of the different lines and making sure that I included a least one of the types of line in my photographs. Personally, I think the majority of my photographs have followed the focus of the topic well but some have not turned out the way that I would've liked them to. Some ideas that I had didn't work as well as other ideas that I had.

This image that I have taken worked particularly well because it has more than one different type of line in the picture. The main focus of the picture is the square patterns which include horizontal and vertical lines. However, another focus of the image is the shadow that the squares reflect onto the table, this also produces lines but not as clear as the square lines. Also, in the background of the photo we can see a wall which also uses line because it has vertical and horizontal lines. I think this is one of my best photographs because it is taken well as the main focus of the image is in focus and is clear.

This image that I have taken worked particularly well because it has more that one different type of line. The main focus is the floor pattern because this is the only thing you can see. However, there are many types lines within the image. The shape of each tile on the floor includes horizontal and vertical lines. As well as this, as the tiles join up they also create a line within them that almost goes off diagonally. I think this is one of my best photographs because it includes many different lines within the picture and the whole picture is in focus.

I think this image is not one of my best photographs because it is unclear of what the main focus of the image is and it doesn't include clear images of the lines that are included. To improve this image I think that I could've taken the image closer to the curved lines so it is clear what I was trying to make the main focus. Also, in this picture I think the background ruins the picture, if I was closer to the curved lines and reduced what was in the picture I think this picture would be one of my best.

Progression
To progress the images that I took I then used photoshop to edit the photos to try and improve them. 

            

I saturated and brightened this picture to give it this effect and to make the horizontal and vertical lines bolder. To improve this image I think I could've taken it at a different angle to try and create a more significant shadow. Also, to improve the editing of the image I think I could've made the background black and white to bring the main focus out more.

To this picture I made the pavement tiles black and white and increased the contrast of the horizontal line going through the middle. To improve this image I think I could take it from a different angle to make the horizontal seem vertical. Also, to improve the editing I could make the line going through black and white instead of the pavement.

    

To this picture I made the background black and white and increased the contrast of the bench. To improve the picture I could've taken the picture closer up to take away the shadows that are created and lessen the background. Also, to improve the editing I would've cropped the picture to create a better main focus but I think the black and white effect was good.

    

To improve this picture I could've zoomed in on curved lines of the picture to make the main focus of the picture better. I edited this picture by just simply making in black and white, to improve the editing I could've made only parts of the picture black and white to make it stand out more.

    

To improve this picture I could've incorporated more things into the picture instead of just the pavement. I edited this picture by making it black and white and then just darkening the picture. To improve the editing next time I could've cropped the picture and made it focus on just one section.

Next time I am able to take pictures using this topic I will make these improvements to the photos.
