Textures/Patterns

Alot of my work shows alot of texture and patterns. I went to Bristol Zoo and focused on these elements. Here are some of the photos I took.

 

I first looked at butterflies as they have a range of patterns and colours and shapes in their wings.  I like how they have very bold colours that stand out against each of the other colours. I then went on to look at reptiles as I like the way their skin is very scaly, meaning there is a lot of texture. Some of the reptiles had both patterns and textures, but the most interesting ones were the animals with peeling skin. Their colours gave a camouflaged look, but the types of greens and blues made them almost shimmer. I like the image of the spiky tail as you can visualise the terrific detail that there is that you do not necessarily think about or notice when just glancing at them. One of the most interesting photos is the one of the bird, as it manages to capture the texture of the feathers that you would not normally think an animal like this has. It shows that even the most simple of animals can have interesting details and intricate patterns.
