Theme (English Breakfast) 2 weekly project

This is my final photograph for the theme 'English Breakfast'. I always had an idea of producing two photographs in one and have wanted to do something like this in the past. The reason i didn't is you need a interesting subject and also it needs to tell a story. I think this photograph both them two things. I think this photograph will shock people and i hope it does because that was the intention i had. Martin Parr is a photographer i have liked for some time and i know he doesn't do things as harsh and bold as this shot but i tried to photograph the food in the same way he does.

Theme (Time) 2 weekly project.

Here i was asked to produce a photograph of time. it was up to me how i used time and thought of time to be. This is the photograph i have handed in for the time project. When i got given this project i didn't want to just take a photograph of a clock or a long exposure of cars. I thought i should think about the decisive moment where i can capture time. I new this project was going to be hard and i needed to come up with a image in 4 weeks. I think my photograph fits in with the time well and i am pleased with what i have produced.

Group Task From Capture to Print.

This is the photograph i found when researching Clock work Orange. This photograph was found on google images. I related to this photograph when taking the shot of me below.

This shot above is the final photograph we used for the group task from Capture to print. The task was to produce one photograph that related to films like Breakfast at Tiffanies, Dead mans Shoes, Dog Day Afternoon, Clock Work Orange and many more. The film we used was Clock work Orange. We was put in to groups of three and i felt we worked good together. To get this shot i needed to buy a glass of milk, Black hat, Shirt, Braces and fake eye lashes. I also needed to put make up on to make me look pale.This task was given to the group at 11am and needed to be Edited, E-mailed, Printed and handed in at 3pm. I feel this task was really good because it gave us a short deadline and shown me how hard it will be when i get a career in Photography.

Digital Darkroom - Using the white balance slider in Lightroom

Using the white balance slider in Lightroom to get one grey balance and one warm version of one of my own photographs.

(One grey balanced)

One grey balance using Lightroom

Here is how it was done:

The white balance temperature on this photograph above shows its on 7104 and looks much more dark and doesn't look as cool.

To get the grey balance i clicked on the greyscale and the photograph turned grey automatically then i changed the white balance temperature down to 3250 to give it that cold look.

.......................................................................................

This is the same shot but this time it was on a higher white balance temperature of 13792.

This means that the bottle looks more worm.

This shot below was in colour and i changed this by clicking on the option below the histogram were it says colour.

this photograph below is the same one as above but it shows you what it looks like when i click grayscale.

(One Cool)

The next shot this time has more of a cool look to it. By changing the white balance temperature to 6688 made it look cool and the back ground a lot more whiter. It doesn't look much different to the shot above but you can notice it by the shadow at the bottom right hand side of the photograph. (One cool Shot)

Lighting in studio. Friday 20th Nov' Andrews session .

This photograph shows constant light close to Sams face.

This session was about the different light souses and different ways to use light and direct light to get high detailed shots. low key shots and high and low tones.

Camera: Canon 40d - standerd 50mm lens

White balance: Tungsten

ISO: 800

Shutter speed: 1/125

This shot is similar but this time the light has been moved back so it's not to close to Sams face.

Camera: Canon 40d - standerd 50mm lens

White balance: Tungsten

ISO: 800

Shutter speed: 1/125

This photograph had a soft box to her right and a bowens light just to Sams left which she is looking towards. the bownens light was above sams head and was facing downwards.

This means that you would get a shadow cast around her shin and just under Sams nose. The soft box gives a bit of light to the left of sams face and gives a highlight around her shoulder

Camera: Canon 40d - standerd 50mm lens

White balance: Daylight

ISO: 800

Shutter speed: 1/125

This is a similar photograph to the one above but this time the light to Sams right was moved back which shows it gives more light all round the face and body.

Having the white balance on daylight captures the natural light and turns it to blue as you can see from the shot above and below.

Camera: Canon 40d - standerd 50mm lens

White balance: Daylight

ISO: 800

Shutter speed: 1/125

This shot below is showing the lights we was using and what set up we had.

Here is the photograph i had taken with the light from below, Example above.

Camera: Canon 40d - standerd 50mm lens

White balance: Daylight

ISO: 800

Shutter speed: 1/125

We was told we had to try different lighting set ups and to experiment with moving the equipment and changing Sams position.

I moved the light to Sams right and pointed the light directly at her. i also dropped the light down so it has the same hight as sam when she was sitting down.

Camera: Canon 40d - standerd 50mm lens

White balance: Daylight

ISO: 800

Shutter speed: 1/125

I taken this photograph with light coming from Sams right.

I didn't want the light to close to her face because knowing that my photograph would be overly exposed.

Camera: Canon 40d - standerd 50mm lens

White balance: Daylight

ISO: 800

Shutter speed: 1/125

I wanted to see how i could have shadow on one side of her face and on the other be light and have lots of detail. To get this i needed a black foam board on the right and i light to the left. I even tried  having a light coming in from the back.

Camera: Canon 40d - standerd 50mm lens

White balance: Tungsten

ISO: 800

Shutter speed: 1/2000

I changed the contrast on my camera to get a nice dark affect on Sams face. to change the contrast you go on in to the menu on my camera and in the options menu changing the contrast to the highest one.

Camera: Canon 40d - standerd 50mm lens

White balance: Tungsten

Close up/ Macro photography

Here are a few macro shots i have taken.

This shot below is a perfume lid. I have a wide angle attachment that fits to my standard 50mm lens and has a macro lens attached to it.

You can see with this photograph how close i got to my watch. I like the way i have captured the plastic cover over the fingers of my watch.

This is a shot to show how we was taking the photographs.
