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.

Martha Madigan | Camera less Photography

Camera less Photography  Camera less photography is an alternative to using a Dslr camera. Cameraless photographers such as Man Ray  Martha Madigan and Adam Fuss create their photos using enlargers. Man ray was one of the first people to create an image without using a camera. he called these "rayographs", Which then evolved into photograms. To create a photogram you place objects over light sensitive paper and then expose the paper for around 8 seconds. The downside to using photograms is that the photos will always be 2D and will be from a birds eye view. Martha Madigan American photographer Martha Madigan was born in Milwaukee in 1950. she is a very interesting photographer as she creates very surreal photograms with multiple exposures and objects you wouldn't usually use. some of the themes she has done in the past are life and death, nature and culture and the fleeting existence of the body. the reason why i  chose to research this photographer wa...

Shutter Speed

shutter Speed what is Shutter Speed ?  The Shutter speed is how long your camera's sensor is exposed for. The way this works is by two shutters ( or curtains). One that goes up at the start and one that goes down at the end. Depending on how fast the shutters move will depend on how fast the photo was taken. For example if the shutters moved at 1/15. Then the photo will be a bit blurry and should probably need a tripod as longer shutter speeds pick up more movement. Slow shutters can be used for landscape and anything to do with light trails. whereas a fast shutter speed like 1/1250 will be a lot more sturdy and more crisp. This speed is used for action shots and fast moving images. The next two photos show the difference between a slow shutter and a fast shutter using water droplets. Both images were shot in manual mode which enables me to have full control of the camera. To show the differences fairly I have kept the same composition for both photos. All I've...

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...
