Photography

Last week in Photography we started to do some Projection Printing. We were told to choose a flat object such as a leaf or a feather, aslong as it wasn't opaque. We then took out the negative carrier from the enlarger placed the object inside and placed it back in again. Then we turned the enlarger on, making sure the red filter was pushed over. We then made sure the aperture was on full made sure the filtration was off, then focused the image. Then we put the aperture down two clicks, turned the enlager off, took away the red filter and took are photogram. Recently in photography we have been perfecting the pinhole technique. The weather has been just right to create some good pinhole photographs. To take pinhole photos you have to have good light, so if the sun is out it is ideal to take some good photos, also means you don't have to leave the pinhole camera in the same place for ages, only needs about 20 seconds or less. When the sun isn't out it makes it a lot harder for us to take pinhole photos as the light is at less strength meaning that we would have to leave the pinhole camera in position for longer. Technique – using the technique of projection printing, you will need to make a series of prints to a specific size at slightly different focus variations. Use material with an interesting transparency and variation of depth, e.g. a small piece of textile material, a leaf, or part of a plant.
