Week Two Roundabouts

Pathway; Photography

Tuesday 17th September.


Tuesday morning we worked with martyn Pearson who gave us an insight into drawing with light, this included using torches and long exposures in a dark light free room.
I had set the camera up on to manual focus and used a small F/stop such as F11.

These are some of the experimental images i produced.
                                                           

Task One

Experiment one: 

Camera settings:

Focal Length- 39

F/Stop- 11

Exposure Time- 3 Seconds.

I used a little hand held torch aiming it straight at the camera and by moving the light around and using a long exposure i ended up with this image. i would try and experiment on making it a lot more central as this is favouring the top left hand corner of the canvas. 

Experiment Two: 

Camera Settings: 

Focal Length- 32 

F/Stop- 11

Exposure Time- 8

As you can see my exposure length for this image is quite a bit longer on this experiment than it was on my first attempt making it 8 seconds i could add a lot more light within the photograph, this is giving the effect of angel's wings. i would try and get less lighting within the face area so darker and makes the background stand out a lot more.

Experiment three:

Camera Settings: 

Focal length- 32

F/Stop- 11

exposure time-8

This photograph gives the impression that it has been shot outside in total daylight but, it was photographed in a pitch black room with just a torch shining around the subject. and positioning the camera directly above the subject. Too me it looks like a landscape piece of photography. 

Experiment Four:

Camera Settings: 

Focal length- 39 

F/Stop- 11

Exposure Time- 4 

This is experiment four which didn't have a great out come as i learnt that the light has to be directly facing the camera and not all on to the subject as it will just become very light including the back ground as well. 

Experiment Five.

Camera settings:

Focal Length- 36

Exposure Time - 9

F/Stop- 11

This is another experiment where two of us being on ground level and the other one stood behind the one stood behind drew out a boat with light and the other one did a sea using a different colour torch.

i really like the effect this has given this photograph. 

Task Two: 

Task two we was given a camera to go out and photograph and experiment using a camera with the surrounding facilities around the building. 

I dont feel comfortable using the word abstract within my work as you cant have an abstract piece of photography as a photograph must be of something in reality.

These are some of my photographs i took for task two: 

Experiment One:

Camera setting:

Focal Length- 55

F/Stop- 7.1

Exposure time- 1/60 

This was one of the photograph's i took for task two as you can see there is shallow depth of field within this image. i also like the two lights shining on to the metal hand rail, and all the detail which you couldn't see just by looking without photo evidence. 

Experiment Two:

Camera settings

Focal Length- 18

F/Stop- 7.1

Exposure 1/60

This is a photograph where i angled my camera directly over the staircase i like how this photograph has so much going on but still doesn't distract the eye. 

Experiment Three: 

Camera Settings: 

Focal Length- 55

Exposure- 1

F/Stop- 25

I experimented using zooming techniques, also this photograph is over exposed 'Too bright' so if i had to change this i would make my F/Stop up to F32 to make the image darker.
