Pinhole Finals

Pinhole Finals

For my pinhole final pieces I have changed them from a negative to a positive in the darkroom manually.(not in Photoshop). 

 Both these photos also link to Joel Tjintjelaar's work as they have been taken pointing up at buildings trying to recreate Joel's series "looking up".



This is the first pinhole I've done for my finals. on the day of this shoot the weather was quite gloomy and I therefore needed to expose the photographic paper for around 90 seconds. In order to expose the image for the correct amount of time I used my mobile phone stop watch to make sure I didn't over expose or under expose the paper. I also had to try and keep the box as still as possible because I was getting some blurry results. To keep the box still, I lent the box against the bench to get the angle I wanted and to keep it steady. 

 You can clearly see the sharp corner of the building on the right of the photo which I think looks very striking, as it stands out from the white sky. Along the left side, vignetting can be seen which links to Joel's work even more.


This is the second pinhole I created. This was taken on a different day when it was slightly brighter so I didn't need to expose it for as long as the first pinhole. The paper was exposed for around 40 seconds.  The sun was shining directly on the building hence why the middle of the building is slightly brighter, you can also see some of the brick work detail. The positioning of the box was on the floor looking straight up, this meant that there was zero movement and guaranteed me a perfectly still photo. 

 Similarly, to the first image the buildings are very contrasting to the sky which makes the building striking.

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.
