PHOTOGRAPHY

TECHNICAL SKILLS

- Pinhole camera/photography

Using the boxes with pin holes to expose photographic paper when taking the photo.

 

- Changing the Aperture (to change the depth of field)

Using the camera settings to change the aperture before taking the photo to either focus the foreground and not the background or focusing everything in the shot.

 

- Changing the Shutter Speed (to create motion)

Using the camera settings to change the shutter speed before taking a photo to either freeze motion in time or to create a blur from the movement in the shot.

 

 

- Using the enlarger (to create photograms)

Using the enlarger machine to expose photographic paper with objects that I had to create some transparency and some block white colour.

 

PROCESSES (and understanding)

- Exposing photographic paper to light to create a negative image.

- Developing the photographic paper so that the image comes through.
