Week Two - Shoes

After the walk
This image was captured by Spanish amateur photographer Martin Zalba. The image is entitled 'After the walk' which has us wondering where exactly these boots have been.



Puss in boots
The different textures is this image all complement each other. The blackness of the image without using grayscale gives it a lot of depth.

Shoot Day
The neutral background complements the roughness of the tweed.
Turning emotion upside down


Using natural daylight allows the camera to pick up all the detail, even the inside of the shoes.

Lines

This photo was taken by Steve Axford. He covers everything from micro fungi to volcanoes. He specialises in still photography and tries to incorporate both beauty and scientific accuracy in his photos showing things in fine detail.

This photo was taken on a safari in South Africa.  I adjusted the contrast of the image to allow the zebras' stripes to stand out against the neutral background.

The lines in the gills of the mushrooms create some sort of a illusion.

This image incorporates vertical, horizontal and curved lines.

Week One - Self Portrait

This is the work of photographer Stephanie Carter. This image is entitled 'In the Weeds'. It is clear how she is taking the picture as you can see the camera in the reflection of the mirror.
Another photo by Carter. Again you can see a clear reflection of the camera in the mirror. You can also see a blurred reflection of her face in the shiny surface in the photo.
This photo was taken in a horse lorry mirror, I've taken the saturation right down in order to drain the colour and give the first impression that this image is also in black & white.

This linear black & white photo contains three generations of highland cows, also including my take on 'self portrait'. I felt this image looked better in black & white as it shows the different tones of the cows and textures.
