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.

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...

Frank Machalowski | Chaos

Frank Michalowski Frank Machalowski is a German freelance photographer who I came across whilst searching for photos that show chaos. After further research i came across a series of photos called "monster".  The photos look really moody to me as they are black and white and have high contrast. The photos include the rush of people. which creates a blur. The way he creates these photos is by using a slow shutter speed of 5 seconds to get the blur. To recreate these photos I am going to go to London and shoot long exposures of people walking past. The equipment I will use will be my camera a tripod a shutter release and a ND filter. The photograph on the left is interesting as it is symmetrical and also has leading lines that draw your eyes to the top third of the picture. I like the different shades of black and grey that the rush of people create. This reminds me of a pencil smudge. This is a photo I took in the style of frank Machalowski. The locati...

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...
