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.

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...

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...

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...
