I used my own photographs as well as other sourced photos, mainly used for the biological images. I went to the National Museum of Scotland visiting the Science and Animal gallery’s, I looked for different sized objects and parts of animals. I concentrated on textures and different colours of the animals, linking from work that I have researched, over the last few weeks. I particularly like the Moon Jellyfish, with the strains of stingers falling down from a vivid outline creating a structure for it. Also from the Botanical Gardens, I visited the ‘The Hidden Beauty of Seeds and Fruits’ as well as the garden trail. Levon Biss captures macro photographs of seeds and fruits, which creates a new perspective on the life of a plant. You see the intense colours of the Lancepod, producing an abstract photograph the one above looks like an inhabitable plant from above. Finding Biological items was more difficult than I thought, I tried to look for DNA or petri-dish in the Museum however, there was none. So I looked for galleries and photographs that did microscopic photography and came across ‘Small World Competition’ looking at all sorts of little details. The Crab is interesting as it shows the exterior of the shell and then the interior of its respiratory system, using unusual colours to represent this.
