Collection
I chose this because it looks interesting, and it is something that I have never done before, I like the way you can gather different objects together and take photos of them.
30TH APRIL 2015 Today I went in the food-tech room, and I took photos of different equipment that you would use to cook or bake with, the reason why chose collection is because its interesting to put different object together, the reason why its intersting is because the of the different colours and variety of shapes etc.. My idea of collection is, taking photos of the same thing but in a different way, like maybe I take a photo of shoe I will take each one differently. WWW: I took varieties of photo in the food tech room, they have been laid out inn different ways, I also used different objects for the photos. EBI: Next time I could try and do something a little bit different, like using different objects. |
COLLECTION
Examples:My Raograms collection- 25.06.15 / 16.07.15Today I went in the dark room to make Rayoraphs of different objects. First of all I use a special paper called photographic paper and I placed it on the base board, then I put the enlarger lens on to shine on the photographic paper, and when I finish setting it up, I started to add the objects that I wanted to add on it, then when I finish that I set the timer on and I left the timer on long or shorter for difference photos and this is what the photos looked afterwards:

In the photo I can see 2 different types of photos, one is an old white piece of paper with some list of keys things. It has black writing on the bottom. This looks like a reminder, also the second photo below is a photo of a bathroom with 6 small thin soap and different colours. If I was to describe bot of the photos to a blind person, for the first photo I would say its an old piece of paper that has been scrunched up (maybe for many many years) and it has been stuck to a wall, it has a list of things to remember about how to use a key. For the second photo I would say its just a photo of a bathroom sink, with 6 small thin coloured soap and two big yellow soap on the sides. I would say that this image is naturalistic not abstract because you can recognize what the photo is, and if it was abstract you wouldn't be able to recognize what the photo is.
The things that are new to me in the 1st photo is that when I first looked at the photo I didn't know that it was collection, and another thing that is new and that i didn't relise is that collection could be writing a list of different things. Rayograms collectionI am going to take a collection of peoples phone, or other objects like pen or something and I will go in the dark room and place it on top if the photographing paper and place the object that i will use on top of it, then place it three different type of chemical water, the first one is called 'developer' until the image appear then you put then you place the image in the next chemical water which is called 'stop' and leave it there for 1-2 min, then take it out and place it in the 'fix' which is the next chemical water, then take it out and leave it to dry.
This is what I will do then put the photos together on photoshop. Home collectionWhen I was at home I found different things that was to do with collection, and these are the things that I came up with.
My new idea for collectionWhen i looked at this photo, It gave me an idea of doing a 'colour collection', and what I mean by that is getting something that is the same colour and putting it together as collection, then take a picture of it or I might take a picture separately and then edit it and post it.
so when I finish with the timer I put in 3 different chemical, the first one is called the developer and I leave it in there until the pictures shows up, then the next chemical is called 'stop' and i leave it in there for a few seconds then take it out and place it in the last chemical which is the 'fix' and leave it there for a few minutes and take it out and place it in water for how long you want, but not too long, then dry it. |
In the first photo you can see that the quality isn't really good, and the reason for that is because I left the timer on for 10 seconds so I decided to try it again and left it on for 10 seconds again, but then I relized that 10 seconds was too long so I shorted the timer to 5 seconds and it came out better, the white was brighter on the bottom right photo, but I decided to try it again one last time because I thought adding less objects would probably make it look better, but I think adding more objects on the photographic paper looks much better, because it has more effects on the photo.
My final piece of work
For my final piece of work I went in to the dark room to do some rayograms photo's and I picked 4 difference subjects to do and they were 'food-tech', 'maths', 'art', 'science', so what I did was went in each room(maths, art, science,food-tech) and collected objects, gathered it and brought them in the dark room and started by turning on the red lights and enlarging the baseboard, and placing the photographic paper on the baseboard and place the objects on the photographic paper, then I pushed away the filter to shine on the paper for about 3-5 seconds but 3 seconds is the best because the white on the paper comes up more brighter compare to 5 seconds, then after I close the filter and place it in the 3 chemicals, developer, stop, fix, then place it in the water for a short or long time(doesn't really matter) then dry it.
The reason why we can't use normal light instead of red light when we are doing our raygram is because of the photographic paper and what will happen if we have our normal light on while we putting it in the 3 chemicals is that the objects that were putten on the paper won't come out well, what it will look like is, the paper will be almost black and it won't really look good.
