Line/Texture/Pattern
Texture - Lines - Cactus Photo
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Guggenheim Museum Frank Loyd Wright was a master of line and pattern in the buildings he designed. One of the most famous is the Solomon Guggenheim Museum in New York City.
Take a virtual view of the museum and compose your own photograph using the lines and patterns he drew into this building.
Assignment: Capture 20 images that explore line, texture and pattern in the world around you.
5 out of these 20 photos MUST use Line, Texture, AND Pattern, all in one.
5 out of the 20 photos MUST also use extreme 'hard lighting' using a single light source to accentuate the detail in the texture.
Criteria for Success: Your work should show experimentation with composition, macro camera settings, using hard lighting to accentuate texture and pattern, using of depth of field to limit and expand focus, use Photoshop tools when appropriate.
Eye Candy! - We're looking at images that will catch your eye. You'll find examples of lines, patterns and texture in everyday places. Use them to create strong images with lots of contrast.
Lines Photo 1
In this photograph the window frame literally frames the image of the patterns on the roof. Using one object to frame another is a great way to add depth to your photos. Experiment with a frame that adds contrast in terms of light or texture when compared with your subject.
Lines second photo
This photograph used the macro function of the camera to capture the texture of an everyday object, tire tread. The image was enhanced with more contrast and the sharpen filter. You'll find lots of examples of lines, patterns and texture on cars. The macro setting on your camera will let you focus on objects only inches away.
Texture contrast
In these images from Mark Moody's website, we see the macro used on the crab's eyes. There is contrast in color as well. Notice how the angle of the shot creates an impression of size. This photo would not have the same impact if it didn't use hard lighting.

Implied Lines
This photograph uses objects in a line. You'll have to scout around for these images but keep your photographic mind's eye open and you'll find them!

"Doh!"
Someone please tell your substitute to call me so I can explain to him how to download the movie that you'll be watching today. My # is 206-351-6688.
I've been trying to call my room and no one is picking up.
Thank you!
NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO CHECK OUT THE CAMERA EQUIPMENT WHILE I'M OUT SICK!!!
I AM GIVING YOU AN EXTENSION ON ALL 3 'EXPOSURE' ASSIGNMENTS BECAUSE OF THIS.
THEY WILL NOW BE DUE NEXT FRIDAY, NOV. 20TH.
Since I'm not here, I'm going to have your substitute show you a film.
I will make a 5 question EXTRA CREDIT quiz for you to take on Monday that covers material in the movie.
Enjoy the movie! When it's finished, you can do what you like for the rest of the class period.
NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO GO OUT AND SHOOT TODAY!!!
IF YOU HAVE A CAMERA THAT YOU ARE RETURNING, GIVE IT TO THE SUBSTITUTE.
Have a great weekend people!
