Pinhole Camera's - 19/09/17

Pinhole Camera's - 19/09/17







To add to my previous blog on health & safety in the dark room, also in Tuesday's lesson, we also learned on techniques & how to do pinhole photography, & of course how to use pinhole cameras.

when doing this , i learned quite a few technical skills, but i will admit i still need to improve in doing this as i was unable to get many good photos as i struggled with the different lengths of time of exposure.

For those who do not know, a pinhole camera  is a simple camera without a lens but has a tiny aperture. The pinhole aspect, effectively is a light-proof box (preferably a shoe box) with a small hole in one side with a little cover of tape, covering the pinhole. When you are wanting to capture the subject you want to capture, when you lift up the little cover, light from the area, passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which can be known as the camera obscura effect.

depending on how much light, preferably as you can only really do pinhole photography outside, as because of the photographic paper inside the box, if you expose it inside then, you've ruined the photographic paper & having to restart, there is in the area of where you are gonna capture, you will have to do different lengths of expose. dark areas preferably being longer exposure & areas with more light less exposure.

unit 6 - 3D Digital - final images

This is my experimental attempt at creating a 3D digital image for my 3D projects. This task is the second part of my 3D project; again which co-insides with all the research in which we had done before for/along side our research for our Analogue 3D project. For my research this part, i researched at different types of Digital 3D Photography, this was so i could use as inspiration or try to copy/re-do in some sort of fashion. You can see examples of the ones i researched below. As you can see to my left, i decided to attempt in making a portrait in which my mate Alex took of me for his High Key photoshoot, as we was both doing our high key photoshoots back to back. I used this photo as i like the photo, and a very prominant photo of me, the concept behind making the photo 3D was to expand the view of portraiture itself, and to expand the view of reality; in other words, what i mean is, is that theres more to portraiture, and photography in general than meets the eye. For ...

Kaleidoscope

For this lesson i was set a task of creating a a kaleidoscope image using a DNG file (or the option of using a RAW file is also there) in photoshop. for those that do not know, a Kaleidoscope image is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces, which are tilted to each other in an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of the mirrors, that being the image which is used, are seen as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to the repeated reflection. it is also dubbed as the kaleidoscope effect. This is the first time i had ever tried to create this process with a photo, plus during the lesson i also learnt what kaleidoscope is and what its definition, and its other known variations, especially as for years before i kept hearing the term kaleidoscope, and i had no idea what it was. For the process of creating the kaleidoscope image, i struggled may times, and did a few slip ups, as the image would not flip the way i want...

Carosel - Art & Design - 19/9/17

For this weeks carosel we got a chance to do some art & design. We did this again over two days & it tested our ability to not exactly draw but to mostly listen to instructions i feel whereas the second part of tuesday's lesson & First part of wednesdays lesson, it gave us a chance to try some printing/press printing, which reminded me of when i did Resistant materials in secondary school in a way, but that could be because of the machine we used to do the prints & also to improve our "structure making skills" which was first part of wednesdays lesson.  List under the following headings: Research & skills - The research & skills we carried out, & learnt, during this weeks carosel, i feel, was how to follow instructions to create tiny bits of art (we did part of this by drawing to music), How to print/print press & how to Create mini structures out of our drawings from the lesson from tuesday. The skills part being i feel how to use th...
