In the Focus group we took it in turns to talk about our photo shoot plan an ask if anyone can make a suggestion to help me get more ideas for my shoot plan

task 1 Mood Board Of Essex

cable623 — 2016-01-20 14:27:15 UTC

In my mood board i put images an a small paragraph of what my perception of Essex is.

In the image below it shows my shoot plan for Essex Culture

task 3 mind map discussionSuggestions Given In Focus Group

cable623 — 2016-01-20 14:30:48 UTC

The suggestions i got from the focus group was as followed:

. For a prop i could use a barries by the red carpet

to fit in to my photoshoot theme.

.Model to take a selfie while on red carpet

.Have my model holding a handbag with a small dog in inside the bag

task 4 exploring harlow Architecture

cable623 — 2016-01-20 15:09:53 UTC

For my trial shoot i am going to try an recreate this image in the Harlow Shopping centre. Im going to try an use leading lines as in this image i feel like the lines makes the picture more eye catching as my eyes follow the lines in the image. Im going to have to test different angles as taking the image head on will not enhance the leading lines so for me to be successful in that i will need to point the camera up. Im going to take my image on sunday when the town won't be as busy as i have to keep in mind that members of the public might not want to be in the shot. The Camera i am going to use is a Nikon D5200.

task 4 exploring harlow Education

cable623 — 2016-01-20 15:34:00 UTC

For my trial shot i am going to recreate this image at home. I am going to fill a mug up with sharp colouring pencils. When i take the image I'm going to have to test different angles out to create the result i want. I will have to get to an angle so all i have in the image is the pencils in focus. I will have to use my camera technique by using apertures. I will have to use an aperture of F/2.8 to get a successful result with depth of field. For this trill shot I'm going to use a Nikon D5200

Aperture

cable623 — 2016-01-20 15:43:52 UTC

This diagram helps me understand how apertures create depth of field at F/2.8 and how F/32 creates a razor sharp image with everything in focus. To create Depth Of Field i will have to use an aperture of F2.8.

task 4 exploring harlow Portraiture

cable623 — 2016-01-20 15:55:09 UTC

For my trial shot I'm going to have a model stand up against a wall and have them drinking an energy drink as in Essex you always see people walking around with energy drinks. Im Going to do this some time this week when the model is available. I will be shooting this image in Harlow Town Centre

task 4 exploring harlow Texture

cable623 — 2016-01-20 16:07:40 UTC

For my trial shot I'm going to test out walls/grounds an see what one out them both has the most texture shown in the image. Im going to walk around Harlow an see what i can find. For this test shot im going to use a Nikon D5200.

Task 4 an 5 contextual awareness texture

cable623 — 2016-01-27 15:18:29 UTC

Visual

The tone/colour in this image is natural and not much variation of tone.In this image i have incorporated texture by getting close to floor level by getting the bricks/stones in the puddle in main focus. In the image below there is no pattern as such the bricks are scattered randomly. In the image i did not use depth of field as i wanted/needed all the photo all in focus. In this image i haven't used lines due to the image not having lines in it. In this image i have used framing by getting close up to the subject to get the detail in the bricks/puddle. In this image i have no space as the subject i took covered the image

Technical

For my trial shoot i used a mobile phone camera due to using a camera on a phone means it restricted me from using things like aperture,iso,shutter speed. So i had to improvise an test different angles to help enhance the colours/ texture. i had to get to floor level to get the texture an to capture the daylight reflecting of the puddle

Contextual:

When: I took this image in the day time so i can pick up the different tones/colours in the brick work.Where: I took the image below in the Harlow Town Centre. Why: I chose to take a picture of the brick work below because i knew if i took the picture in the correct way the colours/tones would be the key focus in the image.How: I took this picture by getting down to floor level an testing out different angles with the phone to enhance the colours/tones in the brick work. What: In the image below i had to use different angles to capture the daylight bounce of the puddles an from that i got a clear result of the brick work and the water an in different places the tones are darker/ ligther from where the daylight was hitting the puddle.

task 4 an 5 contextual awareness Artitecture

cable623 — 2016-01-27 15:23:49 UTC

Visual

The tone/colour in this image is black an white but where there is light shining in certain places there are different tones in the image. I also used puddles on the ground to reflect light in the image to help create different tones. Overall using black an white effect in this image has helped enhance the tones and helps enhance the vanishing point an perspective lines in the image. There is very little Texture in this image the only texture you can just about see in this image is on the floor where the light is shinning on the puddles it enhances the texture in the brick work. The main pattern in this image is the brick work as the bricks have been put down in a pattern that is consistent throughout the image. I didn't use Depth of Field in this image due to the fact that i wanted all the image to be in focus as i wanted to capture the perspective lines an vanishing points in the image. The lines in this image are mainly on the ground an the artitecture of the buildings on the left an right hand side. In this image with the framing i particularly chose to have a wide angle and large frame to show perspective lines and depth in the image. The leading lines show how the distance disappears on the horizon line. In this image there is more space in the front an the further you get away from the front the less space you get in the picture .

Technical
For my trial shoot i used a mobile phone so i had to use my initiative to replace the fact that i didn't have the following shutter speed, aperture,iso there i had to test different angles to get the correct lighting i needed for this image.

Contextual
When: I took this image at the night time when it was dark because i wanted the spotlights around the town to reflect of the puddles an that wouldn't be as effective in the daylight.Where:I took this image in the Harlow Town Centre. Why: i chose to take this picture because its simple but effective an i knew if i got the angles right an worked as well as i could with the light i would capture the picture i intended to capture. Who: For my trial shoot i didn't have any models used the only people in this image are members of the community walking through the centre. What: By taking the picture with the weather conditions being rain that night helped me enhance the perspective lines an vanishing point in the image. It also helps the lighting bouncing off the puddles which creates different colours/tones.

task 4 an 5 contextual awareness Portraiture

cable623 — 2016-02-03 12:17:52 UTC

Visual
The tone/colour in this image is dull an dark due to the black an white effect i used an the time of the night i took it helped me create different tones/ colours in the pictures.There is no texture in this image. In this image there isn't much of a pattern apart from the lines from the bench an gate in the background. In the image below i did not use depth of field as i wanted the entire image to be in focus. In this image there is very little lines apart from the gate in the background an the bench. The framing of this image is up close as i wanted to get a clear view of the model sitting on the bench an the body language. There is very little space in the centre of the image but on the left an right side there is a reasonable amount of space.

Technical
For my trial shoot i had to use a mobile phone camera so it was hard to get the correct techniques i needed for this image. I had to improvise as i didn't have the following aperture,iso,shutter speed.

Contextual
when: For my trial shoot i took the image in the night time to help me enhance the dark contrasts in the image. Where: i took this image in a park in Harlow. Why: i chose to take this as my picture as its simple but effective an in essex you always see young teens in big groups in a park drinking. Who: In this image i wanted to show how people portray essex as having young teens underage drinking. What: By using black an white it helps enhance the different tones/colours i got from the night time light. The fact that i didn't have daylight helped me create the type of mood i was looking for.How i took this picture by testing different angles an the best one i got was when i was standing up an taking the picture head on.

task 4 an 5 contextual awareness Education

cable623 — 2016-02-03 15:10:06 UTC

Visual
The colour/tone in this image is bright an colourful due to the colours of the colouring pencils i used.The tone in some areas of the picture is dark while most of the picture is light. In this image there is no texture. The pattern in this image is circular an consistently spaced throughout the image. In this image there is no Depth Of Field as i wanted all the photo to be in full focus due to the colours i used an how it makes it eye catching. In this image i have used lines by making all the pencils in a circular pattern creating a vanishing point in the centre of the image where all the pencils meet in the middle. In this image the framing i used was up close as i wanted the main focus to be the colours from the pencils. There is not much space in this image the only space is where the pencils leave the circle an come out to the corner of the images.

Technical
For my trial shoot i used a mobile phone camera so it was hard to get the correct lighting due to not having aperture or iso or shutter speed. So i had to test different angles to help me enhance the lighting.

Contextual
When: I took this image in the daytime so it would help me how the colours off. Where: i took this image at Harlow College. Why i chose to use colouring pencils for education as essex is known for the bright colours we use. So what better to use than colouring pencils that have bright colours. Who there is no model used for this image. what By taking this picture in a bright room helped enhance the colours an help me also enhance the vanishing poitns. How i took this picture up close as i wanted to show the different colours in the image so by taking the picture unclose meant there was less for the viewers eye to see but the colouring pencils.

task 6 an 7 dark room photography Darkroom

cable623 — 2016-03-02 15:02:48 UTC

•Equipment needed
Enlarger
Timer
4 trays- developer,stop,fixer,water
Photo sensetive paper
room without a light only use a red light when using photo sensitive paper

chemicals
developer
stop
fix
water

•The process
Step 1 : Set up enlarger an make sure you have got the red filter across so you don't expose the photo sensitive paper to light before you are ready. set aperture an height that is needed for the photogram/film process.
Step 2: Get the Photo sensitive paper an place it under the enlarger and start to create your photogram b y placing object onto of the photo sensitive paper.
Step 3: Do a test strip an get a small strip of photo sensitive paper an set the timer an gradually move a piece of card over the photo sensitive paper an at the end you will see the different contrasts on the end result of your test strip after you finished the processing stage.
Step 4: After you have done your test strip you will be ready to do the final photogram . you will set the timer to the correct amount of time that you would of found out from experimenting with the test strip. An then you will move the red filter away an expose the photo sensitive paper to light for along as the timer is set to.
Step 5: Then you will go over to the 4 trays containing developer,stop,fix,water. Now you will go to the developer an put your photogram in the tray an tip the tray up an down to agitate the photogram paper you will do this for 2-3 minutes the next step is the stop an that will stop your photogram from developing any further an the photographic paper will stay in this tray for 30 seconds, then you will place the photogram in to the fixer tray for 5 minutes an this tray will prevent your photogram from going brown or fading the fixer puts a protective layer over the photogram to protect it. Then you will place the photogram into water for 15 minuets an this will clean the photogram an remove any chemicals left on the photogram from the processing stage.
Step 6. After the process stage you will put the photogram through the dryer to dry the photogram thoroughly.

Problems:
The problems you can have in dark room are the following
. people using their phones in dark room will ruin any of the photograms that have not finished the processing stage.
.Someone turns light on by accident
.Someone opens door
. Someone could faint
. Someone could trip over
. If test strip isn't done photo could come out over exposed or under exposed
. No food or drinks
. use tongs so no chemicals get into contact with eyes

•Solutions
out of the 4 trays the only solution that needs to be changed everyday is the developer if not change fit can make the photogram go brown an ruin the photo.

•Final outcomes
Im happy with my final print the only thing i would change his the top left side corner of the image needs to be exposed a little longer an the way i would do that would be to cover the whole image apart from the top left side corner an expose for around 3 seconds to make it less under exposed.

task 6 an 7 dark room photography Film processing

cable623 — 2016-03-09 15:16:50 UTC

Equipment needed

1-2 rolls of exposed T-MAX film

Developing tank
Can opener
Beaker or measuring cup
Thermometer
Scissors
Containers (for mixed chemicals)
Negative carrier
3 Containers for mixing chemicals

Chemicals:

Kodak T-MAX Developer
Stop Bath
Rapid fixer with hardening agent
Hypo Clearing Agent (HCA)
Photo Flo

Process
step 1 : Go into a dark proof room
step 2: Open the film canister
step 3:Take the film out of the canister
step 4: Even off the end of the film
step 5: load the reel
step 6: cut of the plastic end of the reel
step 7: Before the developing process you must agitate the chemicals in the container
step 8: put the negatives into the t-max developer liquid an let it soak for 1 minute. now agitate repeatedly for 30 times for 30 seconds.
step 9. stop bath pour in 20oz of stop bath liquid and agitate it pour out the remainder
step 10. pour 20oz of fixer and agitate 8 minutes
step 11 one minute wash refasten the lid of your tank and give your negatives a 60 seconds water wash then throw away the water
step 12 use enough of hca to cover your reels an agate for 1 minute
step 13 five minute running water wash
step 14: photo flo towards the end of the water wash apply 2 drops of photo flo by rotating your negatives in this solution helps to distribute the photo flo
step 15: dry for at least 2 hours

Problems/ solutions

difficulty getting film on reel in darkness the solution for this is to practice with eyes shut in a safe environment
Trip hazards make sure no bags or coats or wires are in the dark room that may lead to a trip hazard.

final outcomes
at the end you will have negatives from which you can produce photos from.

task 6 and 7 dark room photography Photogram

cable623 — 2016-03-09 16:27:05 UTC

Equipment Needed
Enlarger
Timer
4 trays- developer,stop,fixer,water
photo sensetive paper
room without a light only use a red light when using phot sensitive paper.

The process:
step 1:choose items you are going to use to create your photogram
step 2: turn off lights an put red light on
step 3: put photographic sensitive paper down an place object onto of the photographic paper.
step 4: set aperture for the photogram to 5.6 on enlarger
step 5: do a test strip so you can find out the correct time to expose the paper for
step 6: now you have done the test strip you need to set timer for the right amount of time to expose the photographic paper an wait till timer has ran out
step 7: put phoptogram into the developer tray for 2-3 minutes an agitate to help develop the photogram.
step 8: place photogram into the stop tray for 30 seconds
step 9:place photogram into the fix tray for 5 minutes the fix tray will stop your photogram from changing brown it will put a protective layer on the photogram to prevent any change.
step 10: place photogram in water for 15 minutes to wash away the chemicals
step 11: put photogram through the dryer to dry the photogram thoroughly

chemicals
developer tray
stop tray
fix tray
water tray

problems/ solutions

Trip hazards make sure no coats,handbags or wires are ion the way as people will fall over due to not being able to see what is in front of them.
Wear protective googles/tongs to prevent the liquids from the trays getting into eye contact
fix objects in place to prevent them from moving
