Digital Finals

Digital Finals

These photos have all been taken at Canary wharf to resemble Joel Tjintjelaars series "looking up". to make these recreations as similar as possible i enhanced the vignetting and also increased contrast and exposure. All four photos were taken in raw format so that their is a lot more accessible to compile the photos. 


 This photo was taken of a block of flats up near south quay DLR station. what I particularly  like most about this photo is that there is a lot of detail coming from the glass balcony. the reason for this is due to the fact that i shot this photo using a 50mm lens which is able to gather more detail. 

This is one of the more symmetrical photos that I had taken. to take this photo I switched lenses to a 10-18mm so I could capture as much of the building as I can. I also incorporated the rule of thirds ratio so that the top horizontal line was inline with the top of the building. there was minimal lighting for this photo as it was starting to get dark, therefore I had to bump up the ISO to 1600. the downside to this was that there was a great deal of noise. but I was able to reduce it in camera raw.


 This is another one of the symmetrical photos that I was able to get out of my shoot at Canary Wharf. This particular photo is the one that  find the most aesthetically pleasing to look at. the reasoning behind this is that the composition of the photo makes the whole image look perfectly balanced.

Unlike the previous three images this photo takes up the whole frame. The composition itself is symmetrical but its not as pleasing for the eye because there is too much going on. The logic behind this is that because this specific building displays a fair bit of glass. I wanted to use my 50mm to capture the photo. Another difference to the other three photos is that I went a lot closer to the building itself rather than standing across the street. this means I can get a crisp image due to the fact that the aperture was set to F1.8 and then also allowed me to have a smaller ISO resulting in less noise.

Anaglyphic effect in photoshop

After thinking about my options i came to the conclusion that i wanted to create an image with a 3D effect for my final piece.  Creating an anaglyphic photo is actually very simple, it only consists of 3 steps. Step 1)  The first step is to take the image you want to develop and drag it down to the tab which looks like a post it note. this will duplicate the layer so that you have a foreground and a background layer.  Step 2) Once you have your two layers you want to double click on the layer that is at the top. the photo on the left shows what it looks like. what you want to do is look for the three ticked boxes labelled "R" "G" and "B". you want to untick the "R" box. then press ok and you will return back to your photo ready for the final step. Step 3) before we do the final step you must make sure that you have clicked on the top layer before you adjust the layers as if the bottom later is selected you wont be...

Ideas for 3D project (Unit 6)

3D Research At the start of any project, its always a good idea to have a look around and try and find some ideas and techniques to use. because the project is on 3D. i began my search on pintrest and simply typed "3D". there were hundreds of photos, collages and physical pieces to chose from. i started with the most recognised style of 3D. anaglyphic photography. anaglyphic is basically the red and blue lines that appear on the edges of the objects being photographed. This is an example of an anaglyphic photograpgh. the photo shows a model in the right third of the image. the photo is being shot in an architectural area. from looking at many photos. alot of the anaglyphic shots are taken in areas with buildings or structures, this is because of the straight edges which makes the 3D effect stand out.  this is an analogue example for my 3D project. this is called lenticular printing. this technique is all about perspective. as you can see depending on wha...

Eadweard Muybridge Recreation

Muybridge Recreation In preparation for the photographs I adjusted the focal length to 100 mm and the shutter speed of 1/2500, the fast shutter speed enabled me to get a crisp image. However, because of the fast speed it let in less light making the image slightly more darker. So I new  thatwouldn’t be able to go up to 3000 th of a second. As the photo wouldn’t be visible. The camera I used shot at three frames per second which was fine as there wasn’t to much of a gap. What I like about the image is that it has similarities to Muybridge's showing the different stages of the body  as they run and also the black and white effect. By  adding  black and white to the photo gives the image a old look which looks cool to me it also brings out the black in the dogs fur and therefore makes it stand out from the bland background.
