Camera Obscura
The Camera Obscurer is a dark room or space in which an inverted image is put on the surface.During the Renaissance, Artist became increasingly interested in exploring and representing the reality of nature. Artist such as Leonardo David Vinci developed various technique to assist them in their quest for=perfect perspective, the Camera Obscurer was one of them. Davinci used this method to introduce 3d scenes to a flat plane so they can coppy perspectives.
- First you neatly fold the black card in half, then half again.
- Then you need to sellotape the ends together so it’s light tight, it should look like a square.
- Then you get a piece of tracing paper and fold it on its one centimeter mark and do it for the other three sides.
- After, you cut out the loose ends and put it around your box.
- Then make an aperture in the card.
- Next you shape the black sugar paper into a cylinder, where you stick over the aperture and put a magnifying glass on top, acting as a lens .
- When the light hits the magnifying glass it focuses on the landscape and an inverted image is then produced on the tracing paper.

Shutter Speed
Shutter Speed is responsible for changing the exposure and the way movement is portrayed in the photo. The higher the shutter speed, since it is a very fast shutter speed there is less light can get in if the shutter opens and closes quickly.
If you have a low shutter speed, movement is captured like a blur. As the shutter is open longer there is more light in your images.
If you have a low shutter speed, movement is captured like a blur. As the shutter is open longer there is more light in your images.
Fast shtter speed 1/320
Slow shutter speed 5seconds
In this task i was required to change my shutter speed to captrue movement. As you can see with the fast shutter speed images, the subjects are in focus but the images are under exposed, due to less light going inside the lense.
The two images that the subjects are a blur is when I used a slow shutter speed and the images are brighter.
WWW: by varing the shutter speed it is usefal for caputring different of the ladscape for example water falls.

Natsumi Hayash Levating
Natsumi Hayash makes of a selection of photos off her levating
In this activity I wanted to create an opitical illusion to show my models levitation like Natsumi Hayash does.
When I took these pictures I set my shutter speed high 1/400, in order to make it look more like they were levitating. I had to set the ISO on automatic, as the subjects were in the shade and therefore needed the images to be more brighter. The thing that I could of done better was varying the position i took the photos and getting better with my timing. I think what i did well was how i captured him while he was floating in the air. Next time I would add props
Francesca Woodman
In the photo Road Island Francesca Woodman intended to show someone who had died, this is shown by her collapsing to the floor. The low shutter speed makes the picture more terrifying and goulish making it look more real. This also may have an emotional connection towards Francesca Woodman becuase she commited suicide at the age of 27, therefore the picture may be displaying her feelings and warning us on her impending suicide.
Francesca Woodman's photos were very still looking very real. However, mine was quite shaky therefore if I could do anything better I would certainly use a tripod. As well as id ask the modle to keep one part of thier bodt still and make slower movement.
The part of the photo that I believed was the best was making it look like Isaac had half disappear making him look like a ghost.

Aperture
Aperture is the hole in the lens that lets light into the camera. Aperture is measured in f stops. A large F number (F/22) means less light for a large depth of feild . A small aperture(F/2.8) means there is more light going through therfore we have a shallow depth of feild.
Apeture 5.6
shutter speed1/4 iso=1600 |
aperture=22
shutter speed= 1/500 iso= 800 |
WWW: the focus on the first person is clear and the people in the bakc ground are bluryy giving a good shallow depth of feild.
EBI: next time with the smaller apeture use a higher shutter speed so the image is shaky.

The rules of thirds
In photography, the rule of thirds is a type of composition in which an image is divided evenly into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, the subject of the image is placed at the intersection of those dividing lines, or along one of the lines itself.
www: I Like the way it gives the photogrpah different dimensions
ebi: the bit I could improve on is take photographs of a different theme and applying ru;le of thirds on a verticle image.
