Photography includes three very essential elements - shape, color and tone. These are combined to yield texture, pattern and form. These combinations will allow viewers o grasp the emotions and contexts underlying the photograph. Shape allows us to identify the subject, tone describes the degree of contrast between light and dark areas. Color can also be used to create contrasts and helps to evoke emotional response. Pattern is simply a repitition of any particular aspect of the photograph in a regular manner. Shape and color can help to accentuate the pattern. Texture makes the subject real and touchable. Form gives the 3 Dimensional effect to a photograph
Observe the photograph of this flower. It has the necessary shape the tells us it is a flower, the vibrant colors along with tone give it a shape that reaches out to you, there are no repetitive patterns but you can definitely feel the texture, dont you just wanna touch it?.....This close up has come surprsingly well considering the fact that I was using the default 18mm lens that came with my Nikon. I would really love to get a better macro lens to do more close ups. Any suggestions anyone for a good lens of the macro/micro category?
