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.

Graphics

Graphics day 1 Materials paper indesign illustrator photoshop Process On the first day of graphics we learnt about typography. In typography we used different lines such as the ascender line, baseline and the descender line. These lines help make your letters. We then tried to create our own font incorporating the lines. After that we took out some cameras and tried to find objects around the college that look like letters of the alphabet. We had to try and find as many as we can.  In the afternoon we took one of our photos and then put into indesign and illustrator to turn it into a magazine cover. We also looked at the different ratios a photo can be split into. The different ratios are the rule of thirds, the golden ratio, the diagonal ratio and the spiral ratio. We changed the brightness and contrast by using the curve bar. a And then added text to the photo so that the cover had a title. Technical skills The skil...

Erhan Asik

Erhan Asik is a Turkish photographer who I came across whilst looking for ideas to do with water based long exposures. After looking through his work i figured that some of his photographs could be recreated. not by taking the photo in the exact same place. but by using the same concept of filters and the use of a tripod. this is the photo that inspired me to go out and capture my own long exposures. I like the way that the water looks in this photo. It can come across as looking like clouds or mist. the way Asik has created this is by using something called an neutral density filter which allows the cameras shutter to be open for longer without the photo becoming over exposed. Here is my recreation. the shutter speed for this particular photo was set to 10 seconds which allowed the water to blur and create the misty effect that i wanted to achieve. I  made sure that the orientation of the camera was set to portrait so that i could include the full length of the water ...

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...
