Task 1b - research (practical)


For this image I set up the tripod with enough distance to get the movement from the fountains in the image. I then went on to change the settings, fist of all the shutter speed needed to be set to 2 seconds. By changing the shutter speed it exposed more of the image giving the effect of movement as the water fell, capturing that movement. I like these images because they're very creative. 


I like this image because it shows a lot of movement in it from the water fountains. In this image I have captured this movement when I did in to able to achieve how I caught the water.

Internet 2 - (Contemporary)


stefan high speed photography egg





















High-speed photography is a fascinating way to capture the images that we don’t often get to see. So many amazing things happen in the blink of an eye – moving too quickly for us to see more than a blur and the aftermath. Using clever equipment and quick shutters, these talented photographers freeze time and illuminate one single critical moment. If they time it just right, high-speed photographers can catch a moment of impact, explosion, or surprising movement – and it makes for incredible art.

Cubism mock-up book cover


Futurism Final Book Cover & Evaluation


Overall I think that my Futurism photo went well. During the photo-shoot for my pictures I learnt a lot about shutter speed and learnt how to take pictures well using shutter speed. As well as this I have learnt new skills in Photoshop. My final piece for my Futurism turned out far better then my mock up. If I was to do this project again I would aim to take better quality Pictures. 

Final Cubism Book Cover & Evaluation


Overall I think that my final Cubism piece went very well. I prefer my final piece to my mock up one although I used a lot more colour in my mock up one. Well putting my cubism photos together on Photoshop I learnt a lot of skills, I learnt how to skew photos and how to use the inner glow tool to add the cube effect into my photos. If I was to do this project again and my photo-shoot I would try to be more creative with the photos that I take.

Value mood board (Elements of Design)

Elements of Design:Value!

Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a colour. Value becomes critical in a work which has no colours other than black, white, and a grey scale.

Shape mood board (Elements of Design)



Elements of Design:Shape!

"...trees bearing fruit, in which is their seed..."Voronoi in bubbles. I love the organic nature of this. bubbles, skin, leaves, dragonfly wings. nature not data.  The shape is one of the seven elements in art and photography. Shapes are enclosed spaces which are defined by other elements of art such as colour lines and values and also textures.

There are 3 types of definitions with colour. Hue been one of them. Hue basically means adding too a colour.
