Describing the image

Image
The image is haunting as you don't know what is going to happen as well as the mist that is behind the fence it also has a spooky atmospheric feel to the image. The image is in Black and white. the image also creates tension due to you not knowing what happens next. the medium of this piece of work is decisive moment and is also street photography. The image makes me disturbed because i don't know what happens after the image because it is just one moment in time. r

Darkroom work

in the darkroom I turned my film into images using the enlarger. you first take the negative holding tray out of the enlarger then take it out of the darkroom and find the part of the film you want to dewlap and make sure it is clean before putting it into the enlarger you then turn the enlarger on and make sure that it is focused and fills the frame. cut a test piece and find out if the exposure, focus and size are correct then take a whole piece of the paper and run the machine then put it though the developer which make the image visible and able to leave the darkroom. I took a lot of tests before I found one that I was happy with my finished image.

Materials Pencil Pens Graphite Charcoal Paints Paint brushes Process Experimenting with using other objects besides paint brushes to create a mark. Drawing textured marks. Technical skills Creating texture using dry and wet media. In the first lesson we used wet and dry media to create a collection of textured marks such as layered lines and scribbles. We then split a A3 into 10 different sized areas. Which we filled with different textured marks. The dry media was stuff like pencils, pens, graphite, and charcoal. The wet media was paints both white and black. In the second half of the day we did print making. we did this with textured wallpaper and oil based ink which meant it was permeant after it was dry. so we had to wear clothes and and apron so that it didn't get on your clothes. The wallpaper was used to create prints. the process we used to print was rolling out a little bit of ink onto a piece of acetate which we then put the wallpaper textured s...

Order and chaos and Developing film

Image
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...
