Final Evaluation

Pinholes

Throughout the project this has been one of my favourite parts. I enjoyed learning how to make pinholes through photo-shop, and after I made my first one it was really easy to pick up and make the rest without the instructions.

 The picture below is my panorama I did this into a pinhole but I do not think it worked as well as the rest.

Overlaying Textures


I also enjoyed this part of the project too because it was one of the easiest parts to do and I also enjoyed going round taking the pictures for them, I like how effective the pictures turned out and how they look.







Colour Popping

Colour popping was also one of my other favourite parts of my project.  It was a really enjoyable thing to do, and I enjoyed the tasks on photo-shop to make the pictures how they are. If I was to do this again I would try to of got more pictures with more colour in them so that when it came to editing them there would of been a few more brighter colours in the pictures.      



 Overall throughout the project I think that mainly everything has gone to plan and I think that I have done everything to the best standard I can. If I was to do this project again I would try put a bit more time and effort in to it so that it was a bit better, and also try complete all photos for each task. My favourite bits throughout this project has been all the photo-shop work as I have learnt lot of new different skills. The best part of the project was been in the dark room and developing my own pictures as that is one of my favourite bits in photography. Overall I think the project has gone well.

Leeds ( Colour film)


 This picture was taken in trinity Leeds. This is a picture for my new architecture pictures. The picture below is also the same photo but certain parts have been made darker so that the photo doesn't look too bright. I like this photo because it is one of the best ones I took on the day and its well focused on the horse.


The picture above was taken outside trinity kitchen, in Trinity Leeds, I like this picture because there is lots of colour in it but also because there is not anyone else in the picture just the architecture been shot. If I was to do this photo again I would try make sure it was a bit more focused.


This photo was not as focused so when I scanned them in this one was blurry, also there was dust or a mark on the end of the lens.







This photo was taken a bit out of focus and had dust on the end of the lens, the trees in the background on top of next look a bit blurry as well so you cant tell what the exactly are.



This is the roof of the Trinity building in Leeds I like this photo because there is lots of natural light in it,


The entrance to Trinity Leeds. I like this photo because there are a few light tones in it but the full picture its-self has lots of natural light in it.


This is inside Trinity Leeds. With this photo I tried to fit in as much colour as I could, but I didn't focus the picture properly so it went blurry.

Overlaying textures



For this photo I have added a shattered effect texture over the top. I have done this because it makes the photo look like its been all creased up then opened open again and I think that it makes it look really effective.



I used the brown and orange coloured leaves as an effect for this photo because because the buildings are similar colours just a bit lighter or darker, so I thought it would look effect to put the two together.

Camera and photography techniques PART 1

Double exposure 

Double exposure is a photographic technique where 2 photos are combined into a single image. With double exposure technique, you can create certain effects like ghost image, mirror image, or simply merging different things together.


 Both of these pictures are example of two different pictures been merged together. Both of these pictures will of also probably of been edited on photo-shop.


Sandwich Negs
 A sandwich print, it is an image made from printing two negatives at the same time. The end result will look like 2 pictures blended together which is a bit similar too what double exposure photos look like.

Solarization

  1. Solarization is a phenomenon in photography in which the image recorded on a negative or on a photographic print is wholly or partially reversed in tone. Dark areas appear light or light areas appear dark.



Photogram


A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photgraphic paper and then exposing it to light. The usual result is a negative shadow image that shows variations in tone that depends upon the transparency of the objects used.



Photomontage















A
 photomontage is when 2 or more photographs are blended together. You can make photomontages and other edits on your photographs using programmes like photo-shop. Even a single photo cut up and re-ordered can be a montage. 




Painting with developer





painting with developer is when you expose your photo, and instead of putting the full thing into the developer you can get things like paint brushes and dip it into the developer and draw on you picture or you could get something like a squirt bottle and put plenty of developer in it and spray it over your picture. These techniques would give you something that look like the two pictures.





Scratching negs






Scratches on the emulsion side of a black-and-white film negative will show up in the photographic prints produced from such a negative as black lines. This is because such scratches remove the emulsion from the negative.

Task 2 - Historical Photo-shoot planning

Bradford Cathedral


The first church on the site was built in Anglo-Saxon times and fell into ruin during the Norman Invasion in 1066. During the 14th century the church was rebuilt. Bradford Cathedral is one of the most historical buildings in Bradford.



Bradford City Hall


The Town Hall took three years to build and was opened on 9 September 1873 by the Mayor, Alderman Matthew Thompson. This original building was 70 feet high and 275 feet long, with a 217 foot tower.
By the end of the 19th Century, the Town Hall did not have adequate space, and a decision was taken to extend it. Two schemes followed. The first, opened in September 1909, provided a new council chamber, committee rooms and a banqueting hall. The second scheme, completed in 1914, included a redesigned entrance and grand staircase.









Bradford Wool Exchange



It was built between 1864 and 1867.
