FILM/VOLUME

Volume - rocks suspended in slushy ice in the Asquamchewmakee River in New Hampshire. Texture of the ice's surface really affects the perception of the rocks.


Film - Snow falling thickly in New Hampshire. Interesting how the colors of the cars become muted and "grayed out."


Film - foggy day in wetlands in Western Oregon. Again, the few colors in the scene are dull and muted.

Film - foggy day on the Appalachian Trail in New Hampshire. Maybe the fog wasn't very thick, but colors, especially the hemlock timber frame, are more saturated than in the other photos.

ILLUMINATION

Three images from the tremendous Yale Center for British Art. I've arranged them top floor to bottom floor - you can see how Kahn layered natural and artificial light from the massive skylights at the top floor to the nearly cavernous circulation core on the ground floor.

SURFACE

Here's an example of getting more information from the color image - values are similar, but the golden-browns and darker browns in the color image show the viewer the more baked parts of the crust.



I think this shows an example of getting a better feel for texture from the black and white image. By bumping up contrast and converting to b/w, there's less background distraction and greater perceived depth within the moss.
