Tuesday Lesson 1 - Darkroom

For today's lesson, we all went into the darkroom & got a chance to use the equipment in there & to be able get some experience of using the darkroom. For me this is the first time i had ever been in a darkroom. When we was in the darkroom we got a chance to learn how to use the enlargers in there, what to do with photographic paper, the health & safety rules & how to use the fixer & developer. in my opnion, i thought this was a great start to the course & i found creating the prints we made fun.

. Materials
Photographic paper
Developer chemicl
stopper chemical
fix chemical
shoe boxes (pinhole photography)

. Processes

For today's lesson, we was in the darkroom & we produced more images, using photographic paper & we started the process by either using objects on the enlarger or using pinhole photography.
using enlarger for 10 seconds
then put the photographic paper in the developer for 2 minutes
then place it in the stripper for 10 seconds
then in the fixer for 1 minute
then we placed our prints into water but i'm guessing called a cleaner (i don't know i'm just trying to be technical) for 5 minutes. then once them 5 minutes are up we put them in a dryer to finish them off.

. Technical Skills
the technical skills in which i learnt during this lesson as this was the first time i had ever been in the dark room was how to use the enlarger, how to use fixer & developer & also the health & safety rules for the darkroom which is also important.

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.
