Film Finals

Film Finals


These are the four film photos that I have taken for my order project. They all link to Joel Tjintjelaar's work as they are all taken whilst pointing the camera upwards. I also used a grade 4 which is Y0 and M130 on the enlarger so that the photos would display lots of contrast. 


This is the first photo I took when I was doing my shoot. I think that the distinct outline of another building's shadow on the left makes the photo eye catching. I set the aperture to F10 so that it could capture as much detail as possible. You can tell that the image has captured detail because you can see the intricate lines going up the building. I also believe that the composition for this photo was well positioned as the photo is evenly balanced and contains the rule of thirds ratio.

This photo was taken at Liverpool street station. What I like most about this photo is that I dialled in a very fast shutter speed, so there is no detail in the walls, it just looks completely black. However, the windows are visible, silhoutted and make the whole image look dismal. 
The composition for this photo includes the rule of thirds ratio. Although the image is perfectly straight on paper, when I tried to scan the image in, it didn't stay straight so unfortunately this is the best I can do.

This is the photo that I like the most. The reason why, is firstly due to the contrast. It is ideal for the photo and really gives it character. Secondly because the photo was taken at F10, it has a lot of detail which can be seen as you are able to see the reflection of the clouds in the windows, which works undoubtedly well. 

 This is the last image of the film finals. Although the composition is on point. I wasn't able to get the contrast that I would of liked. The reason why this wasn't possible was due to the fact that I took the photo whilst the building was in broad daylight. Therefore, the photo was over exposed and I wasn't able to get the right contrast without darkening the whole image.

Sam Taylor Johnson

Born on the 4 th of March 1967, Sam Taylor Johnson is an English Photographer and filmmaker. Originally known as Sam Taylor Wood, she started to display her fine art photography in the 1990s. One of the series on her website that I found quite interesting was a group of photos under the title “lone rider”. The photos are taken of lone isolated cars and motorcycles from a side view and the images are all black and white with the shadows and vignetting increased. Looking at the photos I get the feeling of peacefulness and tranquillity as the car is in the centre of the frame, this reflects the simplicity of life. These vehicles are made to be on busy roads, driven at speed and constantly used, which is why it’s peaceful to see them at rest, to see them standing alone. To try and recreate this I will be locating lone cars which are situated in front of a brick wall or a simplistic . I will then try and get the best composition to try and get a similar outcome to Sam Taylo...

Frank Machalowski | Chaos

Frank Michalowski Frank Machalowski is a German freelance photographer who I came across whilst searching for photos that show chaos. After further research i came across a series of photos called "monster".  The photos look really moody to me as they are black and white and have high contrast. The photos include the rush of people. which creates a blur. The way he creates these photos is by using a slow shutter speed of 5 seconds to get the blur. To recreate these photos I am going to go to London and shoot long exposures of people walking past. The equipment I will use will be my camera a tripod a shutter release and a ND filter. The photograph on the left is interesting as it is symmetrical and also has leading lines that draw your eyes to the top third of the picture. I like the different shades of black and grey that the rush of people create. This reminds me of a pencil smudge. This is a photo I took in the style of frank Machalowski. The locati...

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...
