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.

juxtaposition photos

Juxtaposition is a literary technique in which two or more ideas, places, characters and their actions are placed side by side. Juxtaposition is also when two objects are places next to each other with the intent of comparing or contrasting them.

Task 1

 Form   

Form can be something 3D. I took this photo for form because I think that it links in well with it. Also the shapes and visual appearances stand out a lot, as there are many different shapes on this building.









Shape

This picture links in with shape, because of the shapes on the building, and also the building itself in the picture is a certain shape.

Shape

This picture also links in with shape. It is a similar picture to the one above, Just that there is more of the building showing in this picture. I think both of these pictures cover this design element.




Texture

This photo links in well with texture because the surface of the building is smooth and there are different panel type things on the side of the building.
