Studio Photography

We were in the studio and we actually got to see a proper set up of how a studio would look like.

The diagram is how the room would be layed out, you would have your Key light, which is the main source of light and then there is your fill light which fills in any shadows on the other side of a face or object and then you have a back light which can light the back of someones head or it can be used on its own to create a hailo effect.



These are some of the pictures we took and how they turn't out using the lights.

Pringles Camera Obscure

camara obscura practice

In this lesson we used a pringle tube to make a camara obscure. first of  all we cut the tube in half and placed some tracing paper where it was cut, then we used masking tape to put it back together again and pin pricked a hole into the metal bottom of the tube. once that was done we put more tape around the tubing to make sure it doesnt move out of place and then we laced it up against the window where it was very bright and we could see everything out of the window but upside down.It was ver sereal.

Digital Photography

1) Can you find Image evidence of the technique? - 

 


2) When was it first discovered and by whom? -  Digital photography was first invented in 1969 by Willard Boyle and George E. Smith at AT&T Bell Labs.

3) What is special about the technique? - This technique could take a picture of a moment and capture it so you could keep that moment, no one coould create this before and the picture actually last and be able to be in sunlight without the picture being effected.

4) How does this technique work? Can you find or describe the processes needed to make it work? Maybe illustrate how it is made. -it is a form of photography that uses an array of light sensitive sensors to capture the image focused by the lens, as opposed to an exposure on light sensitive film. The captured image is  stored as a digital file and then digitally  processed e.g.colour correction, sizing, cropping.

5) Can you comment how important this technique has been for the history of photography. For example was it popular and is it still used today?. Digital photography was very important in history and it was very popular because it was a new way for people to take photos of memorable moments and it is still used to this day many people capturing fast motion pictures and capturing any moment.

Colour photography

1) can you find Image evidence of the technique? - 










2) When was it first discovered and by whom? - 
James Clerk Maxwell is credited with the first colour photograph in 1861. His technique is still the basis of colour photography today. The first color plate made from Autochrome,reached the market in 1907. It was based on a 'screen-plate' filter made of dyed dots of potato starch and was invented by French Lumière brothers.n 1935, American Kodak introduced the first modern (integrated tri-pack) color film, Kodachrome, based on three colored emulsions

3) What is special about the technique? - what is so special about this technique is that it can show the true colours oif where it was taken and instead of having black and white.. it is very clever and is amazing on how much it is used. almost every picture you will see now is in colour and you can edit them into different colours... 

4) How does this technique work? Can you find or describe the processes needed to make it work? Maybe illustrate how it is made. - the inventer Maxwell showed that if you take 3 B&W slides taken through a Red, Green and Blue filters, then project those same slides back through the three filters you get a colour picture. the three colours are dyer layers within the film, there is a B&W layer that takes the photograph and then acts as an contatc print...

5) Canyou comment how important this technique has been for the history of photography. For example was it popular and is it still used today? - this technique is so important for everyone now. it has taken a big part in peoples lifes and now they live around colour photography. it has been used ever since it got invented and up to this day is still used massivly.

muybridge's motion

We were trying to recreate Muybridge's motion were we set up 4 camera's the exact same way and took shots of the motions going past the camera. So that we each captured a different moment in the motion.
