Pinhole Finals

Pinhole Finals

For my pinhole final pieces I have changed them from a negative to a positive in the darkroom manually.(not in Photoshop). 

 Both these photos also link to Joel Tjintjelaar's work as they have been taken pointing up at buildings trying to recreate Joel's series "looking up".



This is the first pinhole I've done for my finals. on the day of this shoot the weather was quite gloomy and I therefore needed to expose the photographic paper for around 90 seconds. In order to expose the image for the correct amount of time I used my mobile phone stop watch to make sure I didn't over expose or under expose the paper. I also had to try and keep the box as still as possible because I was getting some blurry results. To keep the box still, I lent the box against the bench to get the angle I wanted and to keep it steady. 

 You can clearly see the sharp corner of the building on the right of the photo which I think looks very striking, as it stands out from the white sky. Along the left side, vignetting can be seen which links to Joel's work even more.


This is the second pinhole I created. This was taken on a different day when it was slightly brighter so I didn't need to expose it for as long as the first pinhole. The paper was exposed for around 40 seconds.  The sun was shining directly on the building hence why the middle of the building is slightly brighter, you can also see some of the brick work detail. The positioning of the box was on the floor looking straight up, this meant that there was zero movement and guaranteed me a perfectly still photo. 

 Similarly, to the first image the buildings are very contrasting to the sky which makes the building striking.

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...
