Intitial experimentation with diptycs

 

Here the images chosen reflect each other pretty well, the left, a hidden bathway between the sunkissed bushes. The colours reflective of a warm summers day. The two trees acting almost as a frame for the image and draws the audience to explore the image. The image to the right is obviously very opposed to the summery image on the left. The colour palette is alot darker, alot more nautral and dulled down. The  path deviding the second image is muddy and sepourates the muddy dead grass thats not at all close to the vibrancy of the image to the left. The trees are bare and lifeless. 

This image also seems to work well together. The depth of feild i kept the same in both images. The one on the left the white jumps out from the green background, the focus very much a mix of in and out, with onle some of the flowers in focus. The image on the right is a different 'flower' more like small pinecones, alot more harsh to look at and a big contrast to the soft small petit flowers of the image on the left. The depth of feild between the images are pretty similar, and the colours of the in focus items contrast each other perfectly, the darkness of the winter images compaired to the bright and freshness of the summery images. why the angles of the flowers are different, i still think these images contrast very well in comparison of both of the images. While the image on the left has a slight blow out to the highlight in comparison to that on the left, i think that little bit of brightness makes the rest of the image appear more dull and adds to the effect.

With these images, i tried to move away from the obviously in your face similar imagery between the two and im unsure if i like this as much as the other images. Here the images are more apposing of each other. One filled with masses of greenery and the central of the image is taken up by the focus of two dadilions. The colours are bright and vibrant which contrasts to that of the winter image which is filled with doom and gloom to some extent, while the depth of feild here is completely different between the images unlike the two dyps above which have been the same between the same images. The image on the left is alot different, with its shallow depth of feild and a completely different structure to the image.

While the images are alot more different to the images above, apart of me still likes the effect that is created by the images being different. Maybe i should experiment using more different images for more of a contrast, or maybe a mix of both styles as i would need more then one version. If im going to continue myself towards the idea of a book basis rather then that of just prints.
