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.

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...

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...

Multiplicity

Multiplicity In the lesson we were taught how to create a multiplicity image. In order to do this we had to use a tripod so that the background would stay the same every time we took a photo. I decided that I wanted to get a shot that shows movement. I set a fast shutter speed of 1/4000. After taking the photos i edited them in photoshop. the way i edited the photos is by firstly stacking all 4 photos and then i clicked on the layer bar and changed the drop down from "normal" to "overlay".  I repeated this process another three times until I had the complete image. To finish off the edit I made the image black and white and increased the contrast to give the subjects more detail.
