We went out around the college and took photos of items related to order and chaos. This could be anything from symmetry or a pattern. Chaos is anything that is messy or unorganised. we took the images on a film camera that contained a roll of film that had 24 or 25 shots on it and we had to share them between a pair so it was 12 shots each. After we took our the pictures around the college of anything involving either order or chaos. We went into The dark rooms where we learnt how to develop film in the pitch black. We did this by opening the container in which the film was contained and unraveling the film to find the end which attached it to the contain which you cut off then you cut off the lip off the roll of film. After this you have to roll it on to a spiral and then place into a developing tank. in which you pour the chemicals there are 10 stages to developing film. The first stage is preparing the chemicals  poor 300ml of X-Tol and 300ml of water into a measuring c...

Wolf Howard is an English born pinhole photographer as well as a poet and Filmmaker. He was born on 7th of April 1968 in Strood Kent. He also played drums in garage and punk bands. He is one of the founders of the stuckism movement. He attended Mid Kent College. He also is a painter as well as pin hole photographer. The pin hole camera he uses is a wooden one that has no lenses or viewfinder so he estimates what the camera is aimed at. He and Billy childish founded the stuckism art movement in 1999. His work was exhibited in group exhibitions with other stuckism artist the first was a show called The Stuckism Punk Victorian. This was the first exhibition to show to just exhibit stuckism art this took place in 2004. He left the group in 2006 to pursue a solo career. He exposes his images for 40 seconds to 5 mins.   He says he prefers to use pin hole cameras because he says he enjoys the simplicity of the camera. To replace the photosensitive paper he places the Camera inside...

What is the point of the carosel  the reason we did the carosel is to learn skills that we could use in our own course Also to see what kind of stuff the other courses involve. We created an Advert that was advertising A Bic 4 in 1 pen. Everyone had a different role on the production of this advert for example camera operator, actor, lighting technician and other elements that are used for TV adverts I was a camera operator in the large TV studio. We had a brief that we could use to create ideas for the advert we were split into groups in which we brainstormed our ideas then the whole group voted on the best one. which was then put into production.  We used Cameras Spotlights And other forms of lighting.  this is the brief we where given. This tells us what the client wants us to create as well as giving us key information which we could use to help generate ideas for our advert. We then decided our the roles we wanted t do within the production...

Man Ray who was born Emmanuel Radnitzky. He was born on August 27 1890 and he died on November 18 1976. He spent most of his career in France. He contributed to the Dada Surrealist. He worked in a Varity of different media but he preferred to be a painter. He did a lot of work which git him well known in the fashion photography area. But he also did photograms which he started to call Rayograms. His parents were Russian and Jewish. He got the name man ray when his family moved to New York and changed their surname to Ray and he was already being called Manny for short so he eventually started to use Man Ray as his name. Man Ray was represented in the first surrealist exhibition along side artists like Pablo Picasso In his later life he recreated his older work and recreated them in new forms. In 1999 Art news magazine named him the 25 th most influential artists of the 20 th century   Man Ray also appeared along side artists such as Salvador Dali who is ano...

The technical skills we have learnt this week is using aperture to change the depth of field using the shutter speed and aperture to create movement blur or freeze an action. using the dark room to create photograms. Process using the wet process to create images . developing the in hole cameras. materials Developer Stop Fixer Pin hole camera Enlarger DSLR

 The image above is showing wide depth of field and was taken with an aperture of f/32 which is a small aperture. The image above is an example of shallow depth of field which was taken with an aperture of f/5.6 this is a wide aperture. When useing different aperture we can adjust the size of it to change the depth of field. Which is how far the focus stretches from the main point that it is focused on. The smaller the aperture the wider the depth of field which means more of the image is in focus. The wider the aperture the shallower the depth of field so the only part that is in focus is the part it was already focused on. using this you can create images that use different depths of field lengths.

 the image above was taken with a f/3.5 aperture and a 1/4000s shutter speed it has frozen sam mid jump the image above this one was taken with an aperture of f/22 and a shutter speed of 1s which means that the action has blurred . Shutter speed and aperture work together to create the best exposure possible we can do this by using one to compensate the other so if the shutter speed is quite fast then you should use a wide aperture so that a lot of light can get in. It is the opposite for a long shutter speed the aperture is small so that less light gets in to quickly. A fast shutter speed can freeze A action such as jumping or running and a slow shutter speed will create a ghostly effect. you can also create movement blur by panning the camera and following your subject while they move this will cause the background to blur but the subject stay in focus but i do not have any of my own examples for this.

In steve's lesson we learnt about the anatomy of the camera and how the light travels though the camera . The light enters the camera though the lenses then goes though the aperture which controls how much light can enter the camera, It then goes to the mirrior which is reflected up into a prism that reflects the light though the view finder which allows us to see what the camera is pointed at. When the shutter realise button is pressed the mirror flips out off the way allowing the light to go though the shutter and hit the light sensitive chip. Which is what creates the image both the shutter speed and the aperture can both be adjusted to change the amount of light that enters the camera. We also took photos experimenting with the shutter speed and aperture and how they work together to get the best expouser possible .For example if there is a wide aperture the camera will use a faster shutter speed to make sure that it is not over exposed making the image to bright. It is the...

           Materials Pin hole cameras  photosenstive paper devloper stop fixer pin hole camera prosses how to take images with a pin hole camera first you place the piece of photo senstive paper into the bottom of the shoe box and stick it down with masking tape before placing the camera infront of the object you want to capture atre that you open the flap and hold it open for 30 secs (times may very)  creating pictograms place a piece of photosenstive paper under the exposer and place objects on top of the paper before running the exposer for 10 seconds which will make the areas that you have covered remain white and the areas you haven't will turn black when you place the paper into the devloper which you need to put it into for 2 minutes after which you put it into the stop which stops the devloper form makeing the image any darker which it stays in for 10 secounds after which you put it into the fixer which means it can leave the d...
