Lighting

I chose lighting as one element to focus on because, like texture, I think it helps provide a full experience when viewing the pictures all together. I captured the light hitting the ruin near sunset when the light was soft which helped give the building a more natural, almost peaceful look. I also think the lighting helps to pass along the age of the ruin. Compared to my perspective shots, these images help show the ruin in a new light (no pun intended)!



Texture

I decided to focus on the texture of the ruin because it just seemed to fit given the primitiveness of the building. I captured three of the main textures to show the structure of the building but I think the textures help give the ruin more character. Seeing the texture helps pull together all the photographs to make the viewing experience more realistic. I really like how the textures help create a more rustic feel of the building.
