Cynotype

First Attempt (1 minute, 42 seconds)

Second Attempt (1 minutes, 34 seconds)

Which is the better one of your cyanotypes?

I think that the second one is the better one.

Why is it better?

I think it's better because the objects that i chose to use are ore visually interesting and that detail in the second is nicer then that of the first. I also think that the second one is better because of the choice of positioning that i decided to use. I thin the first one looks too empty but the second one is more intricate. 

What could be improved?

In the first one, what could be improved is that i could've left it out for not as long because the white in the picture is too vibrant and it took some of the detail out of the pouch section of the cyanotype. 

In the second one,i think i should have left it out a tiny bit longer because you were unable to see the detail of the cris cross  on the fabric. Also the leaf moved at one point so there was a shadow.

Are there details you were not expecting?

In the first one I wasn't expecting the dots on the fabric to come out that nice and vibrant and that the detail in the pouch would be so intricate. I didn't think that if i left it only for a minute and 40 seconds that it would show that much detail. 

For the second one, I wasn't expecting that the chain link in the necklace would come out showing each individual link, I liked that about this cyanotype. I also didn't expect that the leaf would have moved half way through and that it would make such a drastic shadow, but i don't hate the shadow, I find it gives the cyanotype more character. 

Are there details you were expecting but did not achieve?

For the first one i thought that there would have been more detail in the leaf, for example the wrinkles in it and the curves, but I guess I left it out too long. Also I thought there was going to be more detail in the strings of the pouch, showing the individual strands coming together. 

For the second one, I thought that there was going to be more detail in the fabric that has the cris cross pattern because the actual pattern itself has different textures, very similar but different at the same time. I also thought there was going to be more detail in the leaf because of it's texture but there was none. I hoped that it would have showed the crinkles and the edges more. I had also hoped that the clasp of the necklace would be more bright.

Quality of Light

NATURAL LIGHT

There is a hardness on the amount of light hitting the apple. The highlight is very small but vibrant/"hot spot". The cookies are very textured and show a lot more cracks. The apple has a very large shadow on it and makes it so it doesn't show the whole apple's color.

DIFFUSED LIGHT

There is still a shadow but it is very soft, almost unnoticeable. The cookies seem to be less textured and have less of a shadow. The apple's highlight is very large but still noticeable. The apple doesn't seem very vibrant but it still shows all the color of the apple unlike that of the natural. 

REFLECTED LIGHT (BOUNCED LIGHT)

The shadows are still shown but they are very dimmed and more soft than that of natural light. his version of the scene shows more of the apple's vibrant color and still provides a "hot spot" on the apples top. This makes the scene more eligible for a marketing. The cookies are not very textured but still provide a certain "crumminess". 

Focal Length Lab

1. HUG 
1) How would you describe the size of what is closest to the camera (such as their hands), vs. what is furthest from the camera (such as their head)?

TELEPHOTO

1) The head looks rather large compared to the hands.

WIDE

1) The view is that the hands look closer to the camera while the head looks smaller (father away)

2. KARATE KICK 

1) How would you describe the size of what is closest to the camera (such as their foot), vs. what is furthest from the camera (such as their head)?

2) Does the length of the subject's leg appear the same in both photographs?

TELEPHOTO

1) There is no part of the body that looks like it's closer or father.

WIDE

1) The foot looks like it's closer to the camera compared to the head.

2)The leg looks longer in the wide angle lens than in the telephoto lens. 

 

3. HEAD SHOT 

TELEPHOTO

WIDE

 1) Describe the differences in the subject’s features with the wide angle and telephoto lenses.

The telephoto lens makes her nose look larger and her head look larger than that in the wide angle lens.

 2) Based on your observations from all three subjects, what would you conclude is a characteristic of a wide angle lens?

I think the characteristics of the wide angle lens is that it makes the photo appear to be closer or farther depending on the objects in the photo. It shows more proportions compared to the telephoto lens.

 

3) Based on your observations from all three subjects, what would you conclude is a characteristic of a telephoto lens?

      The telephoto lens shows characteristics out or proportion and having no variety in distance comparison to hand to face ratio (for example).  It makes the photo look very flat compared to that of the wide angle lens.

Color Wheel

 Mix of green and magenta --> make a neutral
- The mix of the colours form a neutral zone
in the middl of his shirt where the two colours
meet.

   Mix of green and red --> make yellow.
 - The two colours mix together and form to     make the colour yellow.












Mix of yellow and cyan --> make green
- The two colours mix together to form the
colour green, they make a nice green but if the
gels were accurate the green would've been darker.

Hey there!!!

These are the pictures that we took using the glowsticks in the dark studio room!

These are my favourites, and my designs. 

This design was supposed to look like a hula hoop.
 The making of the circle was difficult because
I couldn't hid the color at anytime so I had
to bend down and run around her waist.  

This image was supposed to look like a doll
being help up by strings by the master (me in
this case). The image did come out a little darker
 than I'd hoped but it looks good nonetheless. 

This image was supposed to look creepy, almost satanic, it
was funny to do this cause we put a red light on my face for
a couple of seconds to make it creepier. 

Histogram

Low Key Original 

Low Key Original Histogram - This means 
that the pixels on the scale are closer to the "0"
mark but very few as that close to the darkest
black, the camera allows for more light to come
in making the picture more grey. Furthermore, 
this explains why there isn't any darkest black 
present. 

Low Key Edit

Low Key Edit Histogram - After making changes 
on photoshop we have changed the pixels from the 
previous image to show more black and allow less
light to come in, making the photo darker. This 
histogram shows there are many blackest black 
pixels at the point "0" located on the far 
left side. 

High Key Original

High Key Original Histogram - This
shows how the photo doesn't have any
completely white pixels, the camera
doesn't let in all the white pixels because
it doesn't want to picture to be blinded by
white. The graph shows that there aren't any
pixels at the "255" point. 

High Key Edit Histogram - After changing the
image to show more white on photoshop, we
see the white has become more clear and brighter.
This shows in the graph by the fact that the pixels
are very close to and on the "255" point on the far
right side. This allows us to see the whitest white.

Pixel Lab

Your Camera Resolution

a)        List all of the resolutions your camera can be set to. You will usually find this under the function button if you have one and resolution is often represented by L, M, and S etc… You probably already have this information from the “Get to know your Digital camera” lab.

- 3648x2736

- 3264x2448

- 2592x1944

- 2048x1536

- 1600x1200

- 1280x480

b)       Each resolution has a weight to the image measured in Megs (M). For each resolution listed, indicate the weight of an image captured at that resolution. If your camera does not give you this information, open the image in Photoshop and check the info at the bottom right of the screen.

-          10 M 3648x2736

-         8 M 3264x2448

-          5 M 2592x1944

-          3 M 2048x1536

-          2 M 1600x1200

-          1 M 1280x480

c)        As you change the resolution on your camera, the number of images your memory card can store will also change. Indicate for each resolution, the number of images you can store on your SD memory card.

-         3648x2739  (461 Images)

-          3264x2448 (541 Images)

-          2592x1994 (767 Images)

-          2048x1536  (1128 Images)

-          1600x1200  (1682 Images)

-         1280x480  (2458 Images)

Testing Image Resolution

a)      Take a photo with your digital camera at the highest resolution (do not shoot in RAW). Remember the composition tips from the video of Steve McCurry Images. Open the photo in Photoshop and crop the image to an aspect ratio of 5x7 inches. What are the pixel dimensions, weight and resolution of the newly sized photo?

-   When I cropped my image to an aspect of 7x5 the dimensions are 5067x3800, the weight is 55.1 M and the resolution is 100 pixels/inch.

b)      Change the image size to 5x7 inches. What are the pixel dimensions, weight and resolution of the newly sized photo? Save the photo as high-resolution-Your Name.jpg

-  Once I changed the image size to 7x5 the pixel dimensions are 700x525, the weight is 1.05 M and the resolution is 100 pixels/inch.

c)      Change the resolution to 72 ppi. What are the pixel dimensions, weight and resolution of the newly sized photo? Save the photo as low-resolution-YourName.jpg

-  Once I changed the resolution to 72 ppi, the pixel dimensions are 504x378, the weight is 558.1 K and the resolution is 72 pixels/inch.

d)     Place the high and low resolution images in a folder called YourName and submit them to my drop box. I will have them printed so we can check the results next class.

EXTRA:

-        You would want to keep the resolution high when you are planning to either keep the photo or you are printing it out.

-          You would want to change the ppi if you were planning to put the photo online so it doesn’t take up that much space and the internet browser/site would allow a photo that wasn’t very high in M.

-         The Image that was a higher (300) dpi has a clearer view than the one with the lower (72) dpi. The image with the 300 dpi has a much higher resolution and the image shows and over higher sense of clarity and sharpness. You can see much more of the detail in the house and the tree. The edges of the image aren't as faded and the 72 dpi image and the house number is clearer and legible in the 300 dpi photo.
