Creating a Hyper lapse

Hyper Lapses


What is a hyperlapse? A hyper lapse is when you manually move the camera a short distance between each shot until you have enough images to create a short video. After you have taken your photos you can go onto a gif creator which you can find on the internet and sync your photos together. My first attempt at creating a hyperlapse was at college. We took a series of photos of myself and Heather, every time a photo was taken we moved to a different step.  We took around 35 photos and this was the result.

However, I wanted to take this further and I decided to shoot a second hyperlapse, but this time I was going to photograph a house with it's Christmas lights. I thought the subject would make interesting and striking photographs, as the glare of the lights would change as I move parallel to the house on the other side of the road. 


One thing that I had to bare in mind was that I needed a point of focus so that when I move to take the next shot I would know what to focus on. I also needed to work out how far I needed to move my camera after each shot. Luckily, there were wooden posts in the ground that were about a metre apart . This meant I could move the tripod evenly each time I took a photo, as the posts acted as a measure. Another thing that worked well was that I was on the opposite side of the road, therefore, some of the photos contained light trails of cars going passed.  I think the light trails add to the whole theme of light that I tried to achieve from the hyperlapse.

The basic analysis of images in art and design part 2

Analysing An Image Analysing images can help improve the description of a photograph. The best way to analyse photos is  by using the 5C's. which are Content, Composition, Context, Connection and Comment. this Particular photo shows a very dark and gloomy factory. with bits of rubble on the ground along with weeds and their is also a very overgrown plant centered in the middle of the frame. This photograph gives off a moody atmosphere as the colours are very murky and dark. another reason for the moody atmosphere is because their is no body in the photo all that is shown is a few weeds and some grimy brick walls.  But the photograph is very intricate. Because the photo was taken at around F9, the photo is very clear and you can see the crumbling brick walls that show a lot of detail. The composition of this photo uses the rule of thirds. I can identify this because the focus point is the greenery in the middle and the two vertical lines go down inline with the bric...

Joel Tjintelaar | Order

Joel Tjintelaar Joel Tjintelaar is an international award winning black and white photographer. I really like his work because of his architectural images.they are very pleasing to look at due to the symmetry within the photographs. After scrolling through his series called "looking up". i quickly realized that i am able to create very similar photographs. the way in which i will pursue this is by going to a variety of different buildings in and around london, trying to capture the symmetrical look from each structure.  How will i link this to joel Tjintelaars work? The key things i've noticed that i will need to include in the preparation to take my photos is composition. the main ratio used in Tjintelaar's work is the rule of thirds. to make sure that my photos will contain this particular ratio i will use live view on my camera which will  displays the vertical and horizontal lines on the screen. After the shoot, the most cruci...

Multiplicity

Multiplicity In the lesson we were taught how to create a multiplicity image. In order to do this we had to use a tripod so that the background would stay the same every time we took a photo. I decided that I wanted to get a shot that shows movement. I set a fast shutter speed of 1/4000. After taking the photos i edited them in photoshop. the way i edited the photos is by firstly stacking all 4 photos and then i clicked on the layer bar and changed the drop down from "normal" to "overlay".  I repeated this process another three times until I had the complete image. To finish off the edit I made the image black and white and increased the contrast to give the subjects more detail.
