Shoot One

Zoom Bursts : I went outside and did an experiment with zoom bursts. I wasn't very successful because I couldn't find the correct settings at the time, also I didn't have a very steady hand. By zooming out after focusing it creates a blurred look at the outside of the centre of attention.

Double Exposure : I went out and found an interesting background, the graffiti that is in college. I then took a head shot of Hayley to add to this picture. In photoshop I made the picture of Hayley transparent and added it to the picture of the graffiti. Personally I'm not very proud of this image because there were other things in the background of the photograph of Hayley. I wouldn't use this as a final image because I have a lot more tho think about.

Joiners : I had a picture of Big Ben and some of the landscape in London. I opened it in photoshop to be able to change the photograph as much as I can. I used the rectangle tool and held onto shift and used it multiple times to get a joiner affect, I then moved the sections I selected slightly to make it look off kilter. From the sections I moved I also darkened   slightly to add more of an affect.

Projections : I went into the studio and had a white background to start with, I also had a model with a grey dress on, the lightest dress she had. I had a laptop and projector set up on a table just in front of my camera and tripod. I made sure all my settings were correct experimenting to get the correct exposure. I then projected an image I had previously taken, I think this gave a really nice effect, although the background was slightly wrinkled and the image is slightly pixilated.

Emulsion Transfers : To do this I had to have a printed photograph, some paper and acrylic paint. What I had to do was paint onto the paper woth the acrylic paunt and also paint the photo (on the side with the photo on). Then I placed the painted side of the photograph onto the painted paper and smoothed it down as much as possible. After that I used a hair dryer to fully dry it, then wetting the back of the photograph I was able to peal the ack of the photo off and see that it was transfered onto the paper. I like this style because it looks like a really old photo and you are able to deteriate it as much as you want to, to give it a different look.

Light Painting : While in the studio I made sure it was completely dark and that I had a black background. I put my camera on a tripod to keep it steady and set the shutter speed to 'BULB' this meant I could hold down the capture button for as long as I wanted. Setting the ISO to about 1000 and the apature about 3.2 to try and get a good affect. I used a tourch and had my name written backwards. I personally really like light painting and the effect it gives, although this photograph I've taken isn't brilliant but I know what I can do to improve it. Also I have more ideas to make it more interesting.
