Connecting essay 2:

In this picture from the Internet a journey is being shown through the person walking through a tunnel. Through the use of tone, the photographer is able to create a certain mood in the photograph and is able to give it a deeper meaning without there necessarily being a meaning behind it. By doing this the photographer is able to allow everyone that sees the image to have their own opinion of what the photo is of. In this image the camera seems to be at a slight angle so that you can see the tunnel fully and see the whole width. The use of depth in this image makes the end of the tunnel stand out as well as with the use of the light making the end seem to be brighter than the beginning. The use of tone in this image gives the overall photo a dark and mysterious feel, as well allows the light at the end to stand out more.

In my picture i have show a person on a journey. I decided to keep my image in colour which can allow for the image not to necessarily be seen a deep or full of emotion and can just be seen as a person walking through a tunnel. In my picture I have also chosen to have quite a strong light and the end of the tunnel to highlight that there was where the end of the tunnel was, however the light can also be seen to have a deeper or second meaning. In this image the use of depth make it appear as if theres a end to the tunnel and to the journey. The light at the end of the image highlights the end of the tunnel, yet the path that continues around the corner shows the journey continuing on further.

In both of these images the tunnel is the key aspect of the image.  The tunnel represents  journey in both which is supported by the person in the image walking through the tunnel. The use of light in these images makes the end of the tunnel stand out in the image, but also adds light to the rest of the tunnel. Where these photos differ is that one uses tone, while the other uses colours. Both of these formal elements make the photos effective but in different ways. In the image with tone gives a more dark feel to the image, while the on with colour appears to be more positive and uplifting.
