Texture Work Diary

Evaluation
In the images I have taken some of them have turned out very well but others haven't turned out how I would've liked them to. I have a some best images and some worse images that haven't presented texture like I would've liked.

I think this image is one of my best images because it represents texture well and the texture of the object in the image is clear. In this image hard lighting is used because hard light makes distinct, hard-edged shadows. By editing this image I think I can improve it. I don't think I need to retake this image because the lighting helps the texture become clear. The angle of this image is also good because if it was taken at any other angle it would've ruined the image because the texture of the object wouldn't of been clear.

I think this image is one of my best images because it represents texture wells as the texture of the cat is present well. I think everything about this image is good and the only way I can improve it further is by editing it. I think the lighting and the focus of the image helps us identify the texture because they help the focus of the texture become more clearer. The angle of this image is also good because we are able to see the details of the cat become clear.

I think this image is one of my worst pictures I took because it doesn't represent texture as I would've liked. Also the picture is slightly out of focus and I think it is not clear what I was trying to show in this image. To improve this image I think I could get closer into the fur to show the texture more. The angle of the image is what lets this picture down because if it was taken at a different angle I would've used it as one of my best.

Progression

To improve the images that I have taken I used Photoshop to edit the photos to progress them.

    

I edited this image by making it black and white and sharpening the image to make the texture clearer. Also, I brightened the image to make the texture clearer. I think the edited version is better than the original photo because the black and white makes us focus more on the texture rather than the colours in the image. The sharpness of the image makes us focus on the individual hairs rather than any other aspects of the image. To progress this image more I think I could've taken this image at a wider angle so that we can see more of the texture.

      

To edit this image I just sharpened it. By sharpening this image the cracks and the unevenness of the wall has become more obvious. I think the edited version of the photo is better than the original because the texture of the wall has become more obvious. To progress this image further I think I could use a wider angle so we can see more of the texture of the wall. 

       

To edit this image I made the photo black and white and also sharpened it. By sharpening the image we focus on the individual hairs on the image so that we can imagine how it feels. I think the edited version of this image is better because we can focus on the texture of the fur more. To progress this image further maybe I could've edited the image by just sharpening it to make it more realistic.

    

To edit this image I made the photo black and white and increased the brightness whilst also increasing the sharpness of the image. By increasing the sharpness it enables us to see the bumps of the image clearer so we can imagine the texture of the object. To improve this image further when I take the image I could use a brighter light so there would be more light reflecting on the object so that the texture will become even more visible.

     

To edit this image I sharpened it and then brightened the image. By increasing the sharpness we are able to see the fibres of the cloth so we can imagine what it would feel like. Also, by increasing the brightness of the image we are able to see the texture better because the image is brighter so we can focus on the texture more. To progress the image further I could make it black and white to take the focus off of the colours.

Next time I get to take picture relating to this topic I will use these improvements.
