The task is to produce 8 pairs of photographs. Contrasting with one another, complimenting at the same time.
Here I had to do more research into the type of images that apply to the art of photography. In doing so, I found two books from the paper shop. Both dedicated to the art of photography. One in colour, the other in monochrome.
These books gave me much inspiration to what is seen to be art. But I appreciated the rage of images, that the images the other photographers portray as art. From images that are abstract and simple, and also complimenting each other, in the way they have been laid out vier colour, shade shape and tone. Through to real life drama have been captured to be a pleasing image, that can be looked upon as artistic. Most making a statement and telling a story.
Here I have chosen work that I have taken in the past, and work taken recently in this course.
This is my submission for the assignment.

Heavy and light
Heavy load
The heavy load of felled logs, from the Borneo rain Forrest, that stretches up through the Kinabatan River. Not only heavily depletes the rain forrest but also erodes away the river banks. As its heavy load displaces the water producing heavy wake. Hard to capture heavy, Unlike other photos I have seen, A person on scales or something of weight lifting. Here I tried to express that feeling I had when I saw this monstrosity grumbling down the river.
Simply delightful but so hard to capture, butterflies on the mating (on the wing). This picture gave me that feeling of how delicate nature is. How two butterflies also mate, yet in such a complex fragile way. It shows lightness. Weightlessness.
Diagonal Rounded :
Diagonal:
The rooms in the hallway of a Hotel.
The lighting and the way each floor pulls its self from the camera. Giving depth and pattern.

Round:
A water feature in Sydney.
I am always looking for pattern shape colour and texture and shade
Although I would have like to of taken this picture at a later time. To show more tone with lower light Sadly the light was over cast as you can see the clouds reflecting in the swirl. This is a water feature . I will turn it into Monochrome and see the effect ,
However it expresses round.
Hibiscus flower. Made from water bottles that got the worlds largest flower in the world. Record breakers.
StelaMaris School Kotakinabalu.
I like this photo taken on my 10-22 mm lens . I have changed this picture. This one showing scale against the pupils in the foreground.
Some how the picture balances with the grey sky in shape. It was the best view point I could find.
Small:
An Orchid . Not just an Orchid, But the smallest in the world. found in the mountain range of Mount Kotta kinabalu. Not much larger then a pin head. taken with a 22-135 macro lens reversed. I like this as its one that I always look onto as a challenge .
Its so small, and the contrasting side lit flower stand out from the back ground.
I have made a much larger picture of this.

Many:
Gold fish taken at the Crock farm KK
This picture amongst many I took impressed me with the sheer volume of carp. All fighting to get some pellets of food, as the food was thrown into the water. To capture the feeling of the rush. Not rush hour its crush hour!

Few gold fish taken in a pond at Lunkowei. I have seen chinese calendar paintings like this. This picture was cropped to get the balance more to what I was wanting.
Much:
Mosque much more have attended the contrasting mosque below. Impressing how the less expensive place of prayer is more attractable then the expensive one.

Pointed
The end of my Japanese Katana Pointed and extremely sharp!
I do love Japanese swords. They are an Art in there own form. From each part made, Spiritual and deadly. yet so Beautiful . You have to own one to appreciate it.
Blunt
The red Oak Boken A wooden sword, very blunt to be used in practice.
Totally contrasts the above. Yet respected in battle the same way.

Rough is the sand stone taken at the tip of Borneo. The weathered face like shape pushing through the rock. Rough And hard. Appealed to me as artistic form of nature.
Smooth:
Photographed using a slow shutter, as speeding penguins flashed passed my view point .In an underwater aquarium.
And abstract of smooth .
Straight
Sand tracks made by a hermit crab.
Again mother nature supplies . I love the simplicity of the above and below pictures. Un touched by man, only the movement of the crab has unsettled the evenly washed sand.
Curved
Its funny how nature can provide even the works of art. The amazing things you can discover, if only you get up early and look.
Light and dark.
Finally after many other photograph that I would love to ad to this collection.
The final contrast in one frame.
Light feather contrasting with the Dark sand. And ironically heavy sand and light in weight.
Taken early morning, as the hot Borneo sun rose. This feather untouched by my self, photographed naturally as it sits,
