I chose to pair these images together because, even though they were taken in completely different parts of the country, the top in Dorset and the bottom in Hyde Park, they still link together. The skys both resemble very similar colours of orange and yellow. The stand in the bottom image also has lights which are orange and look very similar to the sky. These colours all stand out compared to the darker shades around them. The bottom image has a lot more going on within it while the top is very simple and calm, and this contrast is effective because it makes the audience notice the mood within each image even more.

I chose these images to go together because not only do they both consist of grey tones, they both have lines as a very obvious factor. The lines in the top image are vertical while in the bottom image they are horizontal, creating contrast between the two. They both could be seen as linking togethr with a deeper meaning once you know that the bottom image was taken in Pompeii. Pompeii was destroyed by a volcano and the city was left empty. The match represents the burning of fire and destruction it can cause, both to the match, which once used once can no longer serve its purpose, but also to whatever is being set on fire. Both images have an idea of burning and being left, no longer able to serve the way it once did. I think these images create an effective diptych because on their own they show a completely different meaning to when they are placed together and make the audience notice and think things aboyt each image they wouldn't have of they weren't seen placed together.

The connection between these images I feel is a lot more obvious. They were both taken close together, on the same beach, with the same people. These images were both taken on Chesil Beach on Portland in Dorset, just as the sun was setting. The images show the same setting and you can tell from the sky and lighting that they were taken very close together. I think this image was the most successful in creating an almost 3dimensional feel to the images, much like in the 'Same Page' book, and show what is happening and what the people were doing in that short space of time.

Both of these images have similarities both within the image and behind them. In both there are rocks with a person standing on top of them. In the bottom there is both a dog standing in the foreground and a person standing on a rock, looking out, in the back. These images were also both taken on climbing trips, the top to Portland and the bottom was in the Peak District. They both have different scenery and colours which creates a contrast between them, compared to the previous diptych where the images seem to flow together. I think this diptych links to the 'This equals That' book because it shows object in it which are the same and it has similarities which become obvious, much like in the book.

The first numbers chosen were 381 and 964 and these numbers correlated to these two images. These images actually go quite well together as they were both taken on two different climbing trips. They also have similar layouts with the rock coming out of the right hand side and into the centre. The images are also taken at different times of day and of the year, the first in the evening in September and the second in the middle of the day in April. This creates a contrast between the two because the colours are different, one being dark and the other being very light. I think this is a good diptych because the images correlate together very well and resemble a very similar structure. This is my favourite diptych because I think they match very well together.

Someone else chose the numbers 6 and 7. These selected pictures very early on in my camera roll and taken very close together because they were next to each other. The top image was taken in Glastonbury and the bottom was Stonehenge on the journey back. The textures within these images would resemble one another quite a lot, with a stone wall and the textures of Stonehenge. The message written on the wall is also interesting and is very clear. It can create links to do with what is happening within the world at the moment and the way people are being treated just because of where they come from.

This diptych was created from numbers 69 and 172 and they do not have much in common. The colours within them are very different and do not refelct similar themes. The first image was taken out of a car window of other cars driving and their lights in the dark and the second was taken in Spain. The shape that the car lights make however could reflect the shape of the mountain in the bottom image as it creates a similar movement, with each light being in different heights.
|
These images are numbers 1119 and 72. They were taken two years apart and in very different places and scenarios. There's not much you intially notice which could connect them, the colours are quite different and they are different types of pictures in general. A connection which they do have is nature, the first is clearly of a leaf and the second, although it has a road and car, is surrounded by greenery and hills. There is also a bit of sunlight as the sun is setting which is similar to the yellow on the leaf.
