The photograph above is from the internet.  This photograph uses an image within an image to show off exactly what is behind the woman in the photograph. In this photograph they have used a large frame in order to help show off the image that has been placed in the frame. The framing of the photograph is good because the woman isn't in the centre of the frame and is towards one side of the frame in order to keep the tall plant next to her in the fame. The editing matches as the image in the frame and the background together and links the whole photograph together well. 

The photograph above is a photograph that I took. In this photograph I used a phone in order to show what was behind the person in my shot and this was very hard due to the fact that the screen was so small and this meant that you don't notice what is wrong with the picture when you first look at it however when you take a closer you can see that what is exactly behind the actor where the phone has been placed.  

There are many differences between the photographs. One big difference between the photographs is the difference between the size of the frame and the bigger the frame is the better I think as you can see it more and notice what is wrong in the photograph and it is easier to match up the background picture to the rest of the photograph. Another difference between the pictures is the setting as they are set in different location and I feel that things like this this work better in a more rural location. The only similarity between the two pictures is that the frame reflects what is exactly behind the person that is featured in the photograph.

In the picture above the photographer has used the pre-visualisation technique to see exactly what the photograph will look like when it has been taken and has spent a lot of time making sure the camera is in the right place in order to get the right effect. The photographer has used the depth of the car door in order to really show off the scene that is being reflected in the mirror.  Also the editing that has been used has made the scene in the window stand out and you can really appreciate the different colours in the scene and the editing has also helped to be able to see exactly what is being reflected in the window.

Above is a photograph that I took. I applied less editing to the window of my car to keep the car seats in the background and therefore keeping it cleat that the window was on the car. I kept the colour in my photograph because I think that it really showed off the season in which the photograph was taken in which was Autumn and I keep the colour in the photograph to help show this off.

The pictures are very similar with the fact that they both reflect scenes in the window of cars. Both pictures have been edited to make the scene in the window stand out and make the scenes in the window very clear. One difference between the pictures is that in my photograph I haven't included the whole of the window in the photograph were as in the top photograph they have included the whole window in order to really show off the whole of the scene.  Also in the top picture you can really clearly see the reflection in the window where as in my own photograph the scene isn't that clear and you can still see the inside of the car.

This photograph is taken from the Internet, showing the pattern on the floor. I found this photo while looking for inspirational photographs before going out and shooting pattern. This photograph also exhibits the decisive moment because if the photo had been taken at the right moment and if it had been taken at any other time the bike wheel might not have been in the photograph. The leading curved lines show off the calmness of the photograph and the fact that nothing else is happening in the photograph apart from the bike riding through.

Above is a photograph that I took. I decided to keep my image in colour because I felt it worked better due to the moss growing over the square tiles and the little bits of rubbish that have fallen between the cracks. My image used straight lines in order to show the direction of which the tiles are going and the straight lines to show direction. The pattern in my image is as clear as the pattern in the Internet image because it is clear and is the main focus of the whole photograph. 

One similarity between my image and the online image is that they are both of pavement tiles that has been used to show off the pattern on the floor. One thing that differs between the two pictures is that in my image the lines created by the tiles are straight however in the Internet image the tiles are curved which suggests different things to the audience. The curved lines in the online photograph suggest calmness and quietness where as the horizontal lines in my photograph represent strength and power. Another difference between the photograph is that in the photograph from the Internet includes a decisive moment with the bicycle going through the middle of the photograph where as in my own photograph there is no decisive moment as the main focus of the photograph is the pattern of the tiles.

In the picture above it is clear that the photographer has spent a lot of time working on the composition of the photograph and getting the shot exactly right, this is why at the bottom of the picture the road isn't central in the photograph however when you look at the furthest point of the road that can be seen it is in the centre of the photograph. The photographer has really thought about the use of contrasting colours of black and while which works very well and helps to show off the landscape in the snow. The photographer has also used leading lines, on the tyre tracks, to draw you into the photograph.

The image above is my own image and there are some similarities to the first images. I have also used leading lines of type tracks to capture the audience and draw them into the photograph. I had to turn my photograph black and white because it didn't work well in colour and I felt that it worked better in black and white and I was able to change the contest to make the tracks darker. The dark trees in the back contrast the thin layer of snow on the ground  and highlight the weather in the photograph. 

The biggest connection between the two images is the use of contrasting colours of black and white to make the path stand out. Another connection is that both the photographs show journey due to the fact that both of them show car tracks going off into the audience. One thing that differs between the picture is that in my own photograph there are many different tracks showing many different journeys where as in the first photograph there is only one clear track giving the sense of a single direction.

Above is a photo joiner of a room. It is obvious that the photograph is made up of numerous different images and these images have been placed together to show the room however they don't fit together perfectly as they aren't lined up and aren't straight. In this photo joiner a wide-angle lens has been used to give a complete view of the room around the computer. This image has used multiple different images in order to give a different effect and the fact that nothing lines up really gives the idea that the image isn't correct and this works well with this image. 

I also chose to do a photo joiner of a room in my image. In my image I have used fewer images however I have used them at more varied angles to give a wider range of photographs and this also shows off the fact that the image doesn't fit together perfectly as there are parts of the image sticking out of the top and bottom. In my image the images are different sizes, which helps to really show off the fact that the images are joined together. My photo joiner was a lot simpler than the other image because I used fewer images and larger images however I feel that my photo joiner works better due to the fact that they match in better and it looks more like the original image. 

There are multiple similarities between the pictures the main ones being that they are both photo joiners and are both of rooms. However there is one main difference between the images and that is the size of the photo. In my own photo joiner I used all different sized photographs to get the effect I desired where as in the other photo joiner the images are all this same size and don't fit well together due to colour changes and the fact that lines within the photograph are not lined up well. The lining up of images in my photo joiner appears to be more precise than in the other photos as I have tried to line them up where as in the other one it doesn't line up very well.
