Photogram Finals

Photogram finals

For my photogram finals I linked both images back to Brittany Wright's work where she takes photos of food from above. These were the results.

This was the first photogram I made using polo mints. I created this by placing the polos over a sheet of glass in a line and then I slid the light sensitive paper underneath. The exposure for this photogram was 10 seconds at grade 3. I think that overall this is a very basic photogram however, it links back to Brittany Wright and it also has a part to play in my order project.

This photogram is slightly different to the first, due to the fact that the sweets I used were wine gums. I thought the image would look interesting as a photogram because the sweets are opaque. Looking at the photogram I'm really pleased how it's developed, because the light is travelling through the sweets and this is reflective in the image. The photogram was also exposed for 10 seconds at grade 3.

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.
