pinhole final outcome resubmission


This is my pinhole final outcome. After being exposed for three months i removed the light sensitive paper from the can in the dark and placed the paper into a light tight box, iff the paper was wet from rain we used a hair dryer in the dark room to dry it out.

Next we set up a camera (nikon D750 DSLR) on a tripod facing down to a jig to hold the image, we next very thinly taped the edges of the image to the board under the camera to hold the corners still.
once the image was framed correctly on the DSLR we adjusted the settings to have a large aperture and balanced it with the shutter speed, we then took the photo and uploaded it to photoshop, this photoshop file we then inverted because the light sensitive paper show. the colours inverted, Having done this i adjusted the grammar correction and brightness and contrast using curves and levels to make the image more appealing and make every element of the image more visible, i also cropped the image to my liking

I think this image went well because it shows the main feature i wanted which was the light trails of the sun over the course of the three months but also shows how the sun has changed path during the seasonal change as the earth orbits the sun.

I think this could have gone better iff I had been able to place the pinhole camera in a slightly less built up area which was still south facing because this image is not my ideal composition in terms of framing, it also could have gone better iff I had been able to frame the image so that the light trail filled the full frame and had a symmetrical finish.

After effects

Adobe After Effects is a computer programme which allows you to edit images but is also create videos from the images we have taken or downloaded, we started out by de constructing an image we took from google, we used the polygonal lasso tool in photoshop CS6 to select the main sections of the image and separate them into layers, we then refined the edges to make them more accurate to the area that we were trying to select, each layer we selected we gave a name in this case it was"sky", "shard", and "plane" this helps us not to get confused while editing, we also increased the contrast saturation and brightness to make the image more visually appealing. After doing this we opened the image layers in Adobe After Effects. After opening the image in after effects we stretched the sky layer out of frame to crop it down a little to leave more image over hanging the edge so it had room  to slide across, we then transformed each image layer and selected a sta...

Lumen pinhole

Image
Pinhole photography is a method of camera-less photography where light sensitive paper is placed in a light sealed container with a roughly 0.332 mm hole pierced in it however the hole is covered with tape until exposure of the paper is desired. Materials: 35mm card disc (use compass to get correct size on all card circles when cutting them out) 60mm card disc 70mm card disc 70mm felt disc (use the 70mm card disc as a template to cut the felt) (this felt must be black or inpenitrable by light) Scissors to cut circles of card and felt compass and ruler to cut and measure the 3 circles before cutting them out of the card. Acupuncture needle duct tape (black/solid colour that is not opaque or transparent) stapler 500ml can (clean and dry) Can opener sand paper hot glue gun We created our own pinhole cameras by using our can opener to remove the top of the can leaving a cup shape we then pt duct tape around the tip to preventing sharp edges from cutting us. Next we pier...

Decay sequence resubmission

Image
A 'Decay sequence' involves taking photos of a "decaying" object, these photos are all taken from exactly the same place (using a tripod iff possible). All photos are all taken with an equal interval between them in my case this was a two minute interval between each shot I also made sure that the camera settings were identical for each shot i did this by keeping my camera in fully manual settings and focus meaning the camera couldn't try to compensate of lighting by changing the shutter speed or aperture. These images upto thousands sometimes are now stitched together and rendered, i did this in photo shop by converting my raw images to jpeg images so they were smaller images, I then imported the correctly ordered images and put them into video format and saved it. This went well however it could have gone better if I was able to make the video slower in premiere pro, this however was not possible due to how slow the software was. This also could ha...
