Moving onto why the photograph is relevant to the square mile project, I believe it belongs here because this trolley was something that most of the people in my estate knew acknowledged. it was played with by children on the neighborhood and even myself. After a long while, the trolley disappeared and no one knew where it went, including me. When walking to one of my square mile destinations (the eco park) that's where I located it. It was actually a really happy momenthe for me because I had always wondered where it ended up and finding it brought back some memories such as; playing around with itt with my best friend, taking turns to push eachother after having friends round my house pretty late in the evening, and spotting it in different places around my esatate - alwayy me smile whenever seen. Therefore, I believe this trolley is an important part of my estate. 

This photographed scene is right beside my back garden fence but I have never looked at it with a photographer’s eye before taking this picture.What I found visually appealing to me was the fact that the dried up ‘creeping plant’ supported itself to the sky gazing trolley. With this position, the trolley creates some leading lines with the metal frame. If looked at closely lining up with the metal blue fence and the roof of the house. Plus, the end of the trolley looks as if it’s parallel to the house - almost. Something else that intrigued me was the way that the chimney slightly looks like it’s holding up the trolley.  In this image, you can see the effect of monochromatic colour occuring; the sauces of brown and black in the wooden fence, trees and my house in the background, also the shades of blue in the sky (with slight purple sneaking in) plus the metal fence, and the green object on the trolley joining in with the grass.

I took this photograph from this angle because I wanted to highlight the plant attached to the trolley and the grass. When I took the first shot of the scene, I wasn't satisfied with how to was taken and the angle wasn't as good as I wanted it to be and I knew that if I tried again, I could get a better shot. I believe I succeeded. Another reason as to why I chose this angle is because I wanted to make the trolley looks like it was in an enclosed space. To create that image, I had the two fences stop at the sides of the camera frame.

The colour blend is pleasing to the eye. It's unable to see in this photograph but, just where the vines are, behind it is a part off the tree in the background which was broken and fell to the floor. so with that barely visible, it makes the vines look like there are more fine branches that there actually is - making it more pronounced.

This has got to be my favourite picture for the square mile project. I especially love how i used the technique of double exposure to place me in two places in this image. The technique was achieved by mounting m camera onto a tripod and setting a timer for ID seconds to get both shots (type camera settings) At first glance it is actually believable that two different people took part in this photograph. You can actually debate it. However, it’s the clothing that gives it away. It can also be argued with that point that in the second image for instance, one subjects face is more visible than the other and the clothing seems a little different (if not looked at mere closely. For enough, there are similarities such as hair and boots but so strong is the possibility of the subjects being 2 different people posing at the same time for 1 photo.

In editing this picture I used a filter in Lightroom: Preset: B&W Look 4 Auto Tone Heavy Grain Radial Filter Exposure Adjustment  Edited Sky

In the first image, I chose to have it in black and white because it still gives a nostalgic feel just like the second picture with the sepia feel. Going back in the history of photography, all they were able to use was  black and white and sepia. However, even though I was born in the time of colour, it can still indicate that there's a past behind the photograph.

These photographs relate to the square mile because it’s said that everyone in the estate has not at least visited that playground during their time of living here. Even when visitors come, it’s unlikely for them to leave without visiting the playground. This location hits home too. All my friends that has visited me have stepped foot there too, or even used the equiptments. The sepia picture is of some memories of how the children and the teams in the estate would turn the swings over . this word occur when we wouldn't want our feet to sweep across the ground and so we can swing higher than usual. That's also why the me on the left is looking like the me on the right carrying the swing. The black and white picture resembles a past of trying to climb the monkey bars. I always used to struggle clinging onto it or even getting to the other side. With me sitting on the grey surface it doesn't really signify anything . so I believe what I what I could have done better was have me standing up in victory to say that I made it.

Image inspired by Eadweard

Today we had to take pictures in manual mode using long exposusure 

[anitaphotographylv3]

EADWEARD MUYBRIDGE

These photographs are taken from Eadweard Muybridge. He is an english photographer important for his pioneering work in photographic studies of motion and in motion-picture projection.  The original name of Eadweard was Edward James Muggeridge. He adopted the name Eadweard Muybridge, believing it to be the original Anglo-Saxon form of his name. Muybridge’s experiments in photographing motion began in 1872, when the railroad magnate Leland Stanford hired him to prove that during a particular moment in a trotting horse’s gait, all four legs are off the ground simultaneously. His work was used by both scientists and artists.

Jason Travis - Persona

This work is done by Jason Travis called Persona. This is a series of photographs where he captures the uniqueness of each persona and the things they carry. I think this is a really cool concept because some most of the pictures seem like you could guess what kind of person they are and what interests them.

I also find the fact that he involved animals into the project very humours and interesting.

First thing we had to do today was get pictures from last week Thursday and turn them into negative images. To do so, the image was desaturated and edited in contrast. Colour was then added to it because it enhances the contrast. For the final image we had to flip it horizontally.

Photographers - Week 3

Maro Giacomelli

Out of all the work I’ve seen from Maro Giacomelli, this is my favourite. Due to the high threshold, the sunflowers make my brain think that they’re actual people in a huge rush hour. It even took me a while to notice that there’s a couple (male and female) in the left corner of the photograph.

For this image, I duplicated the layer because I didn’t want to work on the original image. The photographer we were focusing on in that lesson was Bill Brandt. In his photography, he adds high contrast to his images. Inspired by that, I added high contrast to my photo as Brandt did to his. Adding the contrast brung out the detail in my photograph. After adding the contrast, i altered the image using curves (Image > Adjustments > Curves). The curves added a little vignette effect. Following action was adding the black and white filter (Image > Adjustments > Black and White) to make it look like it was taken in Brandt’s time. I played around with the toggles until i produced a good toned image. I added noise to make it look like it wasn’t taken by a digit camera. It might not be noticable at first, but I placed a hand print  - taken from google onto the window in the center. This was just to make it a bit interesting.

BILL BRADT

Bill Brandt was born in Hamburg on 2 May 1904 to an English father and a German mother. He made the watercolour painting of the family house in 1918 when he was 14. Brandt was bullied at school after the First World War. This experience and the rise of Nazism caused him to disown his German background. In later life he said that he was born in south London.

This photograph by Bill Bradt is really intriguing me because it has a lot of repetition. I like this photograph because of the leading lines, the blacked out containers on each side, the patterns and shapes on the pathway and the lights at the bottom.

I noticed that most of the people in my class were doing the same thing. For example, they would were placing the building inside of the models outline. I didn’t want to do the same thing, so i tried to think outside of the box. So instead of putting anything inside, i wanted inside, i wanted to put something on top of the other. That’s why i placed the model onto the building. To me, it looks even better.

I did this because when i think of cutlery, it gives you an automatic thought of food. I placed a pizza inside the cutlery because the space inside is a triangular shape, and when i think of triangle shaped food, pizza comes to my mind instantly. Plus it’s one of my favourite foods so it’s a win win.

When i think of statues, i instantly think of vaporwave art. Vaporwave is a musical genre and art movement that emergered in the early 2010′s from indie dance genres such as seapunk, bounce house, with house, or chillwave. 

I usually see vapourware art with mainly purple, pink, and blue. The colours are pastel most of the time but can be changed depending on the artist. Pastel colours appeal to me more than the darker and norm colours, so thats why i went through with the colour scheme I mentioned earlier.

I put water coming from his nose because i had already put a waterfall i the previous image with the waterfall pouring down from the building. So it just gave me an idea to add water to this image as well. I just thought the nose looked empty and less weird without it.
