gongas2603 — 2016-01-27 15:48:37 UTC

My favorite photo of my work because it meet s the targets and also it was the easiest and better quality.

Visual; Colour used in this photo is a mix of back and white with colours,
Tone is dark with bright light color on the coat. it was supposed to be all back but as I was editing this picture i realized that it looks better with some colors so it doesn't look that boring, I try my best to catch the floor and the brick wall to create a Pattern.

Technical: I used a IPhone 5s camara because i didnt know how to put the option that takes automatic photos 3 or 10 seconds after i press the bottom, I used my phone to edit this foto.

Contextual: This Photo is the most recent one i got, i took it 1 week ago because i was running out of ideas so i went to near flames in standsted mountfitched silver street and took it by my self. placed the camara on the ground and put it on automatic mode.

Visual; Colorful because it is subway and i think the colors make it eye catching, Tone is light colors. and i tried catch a good angle to make the picture even more interesting but it was really hard because when i took this picture was around 3pm and thats when the busy starts so the people kept getting on the way so I had to be passion and wait for the best moment to take a picture .

Technical: I used a sony camera, Shutter speed is automatic, Ibecause i been work with thinhere was not much need to do in this picture so all i did was make the picture a bit more brighter.
Contextual: This Photo was taken last week after i finished work in subway of Bishops Storford center i asked a few people if they could smile at the camera but it was really busy as you can see in the picture.

Task 6 and 7 Photograms

gongas2603 — 2016-03-02 15:09:21 UTC

to create a Photogram you will need to be in a dark room because if you do it outside or in a normal room it won't work because the photo can't get any lighting. So photogram is basically a picture without a camera you start from choosing the objects you want in the photogram, after you get the objects you will need to set up the the enlarger after using it for the right amount of time you can finally start from placing the photo in the Developer for 2 to 3 minutes so it can develop the image from exposure, after 3 minutes it should be fine to move to the next step and it is stop bath for 30 seconds to stop the photo from develop , after is the fixer, and you will have to place the photo for 5 minutes to protect the photo and the last bit before drying the photo is the wash, for 15 minutes to wash the quimicals, last thing before the project finished all you got to do is place in a dryer.

Task 6 and 7 Film Processing

gongas2603 — 2016-03-09 15:25:06 UTC

Star from placing the Negative on the box so it stays fix and don't move, place the box in the enlarger after using it for the right amount of time you can finally start from placing the photo in the Developer for 2 to 3 minutes so it can develop the image from exposure, after 3 minutes it should be fine to move to the next step and it is stop bath for 30 seconds to stop the photo from develop , after is the fixer, and you will have to place the photo for 5 minutes to protect the photo and the last bit before drying the photo is the wash, for 15 minutes to wash the quimicals, last thing before the project finished all you got to do is place in a dryer.

Task 6 and 7 Darkroom printing

gongas2603 — 2016-03-09 15:25:52 UTC

Dark rom is not that big, the door the goes around so it doesn't catch any lighting. About the lighting this room has a white one that can only be used when the enlarger are not being used, and this room also has a red light that can be on wile working with the machine because the photos don't catch red light.
it has about 10 enlargers and 4 trays with quimicals, Developer, stop bath, fixer and the last one is just a tray with water to wash the quimicals. And not the most important one but still usefulll is a dryer.

task 3 Mind Map

gongas2603 — 2016-03-09 15:30:39 UTC

My Mind map is my view of essex, i don't know much as other people because i am from Portugal and the life style there is way different than essex life style. The photoshoot I'm planing to do is to do with essex culture, I will have my mother as a model to help me out with my shooting, She is going to be dressed a bit chav which means someone that doesn't really care about the way they dress, just cheap joggers normal t-shirts, tracksuits and etc. I will be also walking around town and try find some good places and people that i can a picture of for my essex culture Project. I am also be going to get some information and friends that can come with me inside of a broken building because i think it is a perfect place to take pictures and the background will be interesting and different.
