Tone Work Diary

Work Diary

During this session  the chosen formal element was tone, in this again we went out and looked for anything that would suit tone. The cameras had already been set to black and white, we just needed to use our imagination and find anything we could. I believe this session went really well, I managed to take a lot of photos, I think this is because from the right angle anything can look good with the correct amount of tone. 

I like this photo because of how simple it is, this photo fits in really well with tone as it doesn't change how the image could be interoperated, this image is very open to interpretation because it doesn't show a lot just the single word. Although I like this image, the compassion is a little off the word is a little far up and doesn't look exactly straight. 

This was the best photo from the session, I believe it has a comical sense of drama, or at least thats how I saw it. This image is one that i like but I didn't consider how the floor would look, the line going across the image at the top could have been made more straight if I'd decided to move the cup over or just find a different angle. 

If I had the opportunity to do this again I think I would explore different types of tone rather than just black and white I'd find the different types of tone through colour.

Describing Words - Colourful, Singular, Emotion, Warmth, Coldness

This photo uses tone for dramatic effect, the hole in the tree stump, no longer looks like a hole in a tree stump, it looks interesting and amazing. For all you know this is a massive hole in the ground, tone has created that look.

Here tone is creating a warm effect, you look at it and can just every so lightly guess the temperture and right now it feels warm. Tone has a way of not only getting in  your sight but also in your other senses. 

I find this picture to be quite cold, the blue water and blue sky, sends cold goosebumps across my body. It is amazing the effect of tone can have on a viewer, it can take an ordinary photo and turn into one with emotion and senses.

This image is your standard black and white tone, although it gives an ever so slightly cold effect, it can also be rather warm. The photo is really nice and attracts your other senses. 

My Definition: Tone is a way of introducing different senses to a photo. 

Image Bank Tone

The tone here is similar to the sepia filter, the image looks a bit gloomy and dull yet bright and powerful. The image makes the building stand out and look incredible, the patches of sunlight are highlighted due to the tone of the image. 

The photo here is simply black and white, this creates an eerie atmosphere about this neighbourhood, the buildings have a creepy sensation about them the whole image uses tone to make the viewer feel odd and a little on edge. 

The blue tone here highlights the strangeness about the man, he is clearly not used to light, behind is darkness and his face is rather creepy, tone here shows use how strange the man is and adds to the overall creepiness of the image. 

The purple tone over this image feels as if the world is moving faster, looking at the clouds at the clouds we can see that they are all moving towards the foreground and i believe the use of tone makes it seem as if they are moving currently very fast. The town below also looks incredible the use of tone here shows the paths and buildings in a unique way. 

The pink tone in this picture feels as if it's light coming from the sky, the water looks absolutely beautiful and the ice has a very slight pink tint to it, the whole image looks quite magical and mysterious. 

This photo uses black and white tone in order to show the elegance and strength in the rock, it appears to be very high up, above the trees and just below the clouds, this i the effect created  by the tone.
