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.

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...

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 ...

Strawberry Decay Gif

This is my Gif that shows an example of decay, which I created using a strawberry. For six days I captured a photo once in the morning and once in the evening, from the exact same position, so there wasn't a noticeable frame difference.  There are 12 photos in total. The reason why I chose a strawberry is because they are very quick to decay and therefore would be a good subject to capture for this experiment.  The frame speed is set to 0.05 which is standard for a Gif video. To experiment further I reversed all the frames so that the length of the Gif was extended and would show more colour differentiation between ripe and rotten.
