Photos: Tone

Photo 1: This one is hight contrast. The sky is really bright and most of the cars are really dark. I controlled this in camera and in post. Also, this was caused by the sun itself and the objects in frame. They cars are simply dark and don't reflect the abundance of the light in the space. This draws the eye down tot he cars because they stand out from the majority of the frame.

Photo 2: This photo is also high contrast, but works in the opposite effect. The bright object stands out here, and more so than the dark objects in the photo above, because brightness attracts the eye. The key tile advances in the frame because of its tone.

Photo 3: affinity of tone. This frame has mostly an affinity of tone, although the blacks crush a bit. Still, there are not big bright objects that call tons of attention. The brightest object is the hand of the driver, but not by much. While tone was decently considered by the framing and post editing of all three of these photos, what isn't controlled is the texture of the images. Areas of high detail in all three photos tend to draw the eye away from the subject, making the images somewhat ambiguous, which I feel is somewhat of a weakness of all of these.
