Unit 1 Task 3 SHUTTER SPEED

                                                          SHUTTER SPEED

- or exposure time is the length of time that the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light.

                                                                  5" f25 ISO 3200

London double-decker bus painted by light. Lights on the bus were on which allowed me to blur the vehicle to the point it looks like a light trail. Used tripod. Taking this picture on Shutter priority mode - I realised that the auto aperture was f25 but in  Aperture Priority mode I can choose the smallest f22, in Manual mode f29 (AC 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2)

                                                                     4" f25 ISO 6400 

This picture has a personal meaning to me. I have used a long exposure technique and tripod to make streetlights look like all three are on. This image represents to me the confusion and the chaos of a morning school run. My youngest son has an anxiety disorder and getting out of the flat is a very stressful task. In order to get to school we have to cross Chamberlayne Road. (AC 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2)

                                                                         1/60 f11 ISO100
Stop the action. A faster shutter speed of 1/60 has allowed freezing a horse and cars in time. The picture has been taken at Richmond Park. (AC 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2)

                                                                         1/50 f14 ISO 100

Pan shot: The sheer joy of being on a roundabout. 
Panning is a creative technique used to freeze the action and blur the surroundings. It’s used to portray speed. In a nutshell, I have moved the camera at the same speed as my son, so that he stays sharp, but the background blurs. It’s not easy, you need a steady hand and a lot of trial and error. (AC 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2) 


                                                                             1/5  f22 ISO 400
Blurred motion.
 I have used a slower shutter speed to show the movement of a rushing crowd near Richmond train station. A man with a musical instrument stands still while others rush like an 'express' train. Used tripod.(AC 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2)  

All pictures have been taken with a Cannon 700D camera with EFS 18-55 lens.

Unit 4 Digital Imaging, Printing and Exhibition

Image
    Digital Imaging, Printing and Exhibition  Task 1: Prepare and print photographic images AC 1.1, 2.1   When choosing the images for the exhibition I have decided that the first one will be to the liking of my classmates and the second one will have a personal meaning. Both photos have been printed via theprintspace.co.uk. When preparing an image for printing you will need the best resolution pixelation - no less than 300 dpi. The cropped image will still look quality but if a resolution is lower, for example, 72 dpi photo will not print well. Full-frame cameras produce the best results for printing purposes. The camera which I use is Canon EOS 700D with APS-C sensor, dimensions 22.3 x 14.9 mm. I was not able to print images in very big format but A3 format was easily achievable. ‘Sw ing of joy’ Theprintspace.co.uk offers 2 types of printing paper: Silver-based Digital C-type prints are archival photographic prints, letting you capture and preserve the beauty of your photography.

Unit 1 Task 2 APERTURE - Depth of Field

Image
                                                                  APERTURE     -  Depth of field.  Selective focus. Determinates how much of the image is in focus. Aperture can be defined as the opening in a lens through which light passes to enter the camera. It is expressed in f-numbers like f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8 and so on to express the size of the lens opening.                                                                      f4.0 1/13 ISO 100                                                                    f22 2" ISO100                                                                         f22 0"6 ISO400                                                                   f4.0 1/60 ISO 400                                                                   f22 1/6 ISO100                                                                 f4.0 1/50 ISO 100                                                                      f4  1/50 ISO 100

Unit 2 Intimate portraiture project

Image
            The Intimate Portraiture project Task 1 (AC 1.1 and 1.2) Research the works of 3 photographers in preparation of the work on the project Jo Spence I first came across Jo Spence in my photography therapy Changing Perspectives with Jon Rees https://www.iamjonrees.com/ . Jo Spence was a charismatic personality and an early pioneer of photography therapy. She has captured her fight with breast cancer. She was a middle-aged woman and no beauty but her pictures were very powerful. Jo Spence was a feminist artist and activist who explored themes of gender, class, and self-identity. After Spence was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1982, she made several series of self-portraits documenting her battle with the disease until her death from leukaemia a decade later. The photographs expressed her physical and emotional state. Her doctor and collaborator Tim Sheard explained, ‘Spence is representing the honest emotions felt living in an unruly body that cannot conform to the pressures
