This weeks task was to 'exercise our mind's eye', and to do this we had to choose from a few different topics and photograph what it means visually. It required us to look at the topic more in depth, and see what further themes are conjured up when we think of that particular word, and how we could photograph something that reflects it. We had to consider, what are the most relevant visual features to express that word and why. I chose the word 'Tranquility'. By definition, this means the quality or state of being calm. When I then thought about what makes me calm, I decided to shoot some images of nature that included water. Water is often seen as being tranquil, and often many people like myself find being out in nature very calming and relaxing. So this is what i tried to get across in the image, and after taking a few it was decided that the following image best suited this topic.
The second task we had to complete was in Abstracting and Selecting. We had to line up a few objects on a table, and photograph the qualities of them that reflected a particular theme. We had to look at the lines, patterns, shapes and colours, to see what elements reflected that theme. From the objects that I had chosen, I took my images around the theme of 'soft', as one of my objects was a cushion, and another happened to be my cat that was sitting there at the time. The following images best reflected my theme.
