Tone - Image Bank

This image below shows different tones through the shadows of the different lighting reflecting on an object. I love these images of tone as I feel they reflect the topic in interesting ways. In the first image, the use of tone is reflected through the different shadows hitting the floor through the branches of the tree. The tree itself has a dark tone where the background behind it is light. I think this image is particularly effective as it is a focus point in comparison and also the viewer can see that it is a bright day even though it seems dull and dark in the image. Similarly, in the second image, the camera is at a low angle looking up at the scale of the Eiffel Tower, however the tones and curves have been highlighted and enhanced in the sky to give a feeling of neglect and discomfort. At the top of the image we see a black dark feeling whereas below it is white, the top of the eiffel tower fits into the sky. Also, the third image is shows the different tones on the boards and planks of wood. Either side of the image is dark while it gradually gets lighter as it draws to the middle. I love these images as they show tone through light in a lot of different intriguing ways. 

These next images show form in a contrasting way. Although they use lights to enhance the highlights and the shadows in form, they all have something which significantly differs them from there background and therefore enhances the tone formal element. The first image is a great way of contrasting tone, there is a range of different tones on the backdrop behind the man and in the bottom left we see different shadows. The main focus for me is the point in which the writing on the top contrast as does the skin tone of the man and they all as a whole differ from the background. Also, the second and third images are all split-tone in which they use different tones completely. The first also holds a reflection in which the tones are explored more and finally the third uses two different tones in the reflection with the light sky and the dark in the reflection.
