Film Finals

Film Finals


These are the four film photos that I have taken for my order project. They all link to Joel Tjintjelaar's work as they are all taken whilst pointing the camera upwards. I also used a grade 4 which is Y0 and M130 on the enlarger so that the photos would display lots of contrast. 


This is the first photo I took when I was doing my shoot. I think that the distinct outline of another building's shadow on the left makes the photo eye catching. I set the aperture to F10 so that it could capture as much detail as possible. You can tell that the image has captured detail because you can see the intricate lines going up the building. I also believe that the composition for this photo was well positioned as the photo is evenly balanced and contains the rule of thirds ratio.

This photo was taken at Liverpool street station. What I like most about this photo is that I dialled in a very fast shutter speed, so there is no detail in the walls, it just looks completely black. However, the windows are visible, silhoutted and make the whole image look dismal. 
The composition for this photo includes the rule of thirds ratio. Although the image is perfectly straight on paper, when I tried to scan the image in, it didn't stay straight so unfortunately this is the best I can do.

This is the photo that I like the most. The reason why, is firstly due to the contrast. It is ideal for the photo and really gives it character. Secondly because the photo was taken at F10, it has a lot of detail which can be seen as you are able to see the reflection of the clouds in the windows, which works undoubtedly well. 

 This is the last image of the film finals. Although the composition is on point. I wasn't able to get the contrast that I would of liked. The reason why this wasn't possible was due to the fact that I took the photo whilst the building was in broad daylight. Therefore, the photo was over exposed and I wasn't able to get the right contrast without darkening the whole image.

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...

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...
