HALF TERM PROJECT 1.
Portrait project against a flat dark background, with a even light on the face.
In practical terms this means using a couple of lamps to light the face - trying to make sure that you don't also light the background.
Moving the model as far in front of the background as possible will help.
Otherwise, do the shot in the garden against the night sky with flash.
Like the model in this shot.

Photoshop Composite Exercise

Metering. Spot (where possible)
Meter from the midtones on the face by placing the centre spot over the area, half-depress the shutter, and still holding the shutter, recompose your shot and take.
ASA Din - 400 (recommended)
White Balance:
Indoors with room lighting - tungsten/incandescent balance.
Outdoors with flash - automatic.

Exposure & Composition Videos - Jim Southern

Youtube Education Video
Jim Southern

I gladly offer this basic, 5-part series of photography lessons FOR FREE! Our world has become increasingly visual in the way we communicate. We not only take more pictures, we show them, send them and display them to more eyes than ever before. Wouldn't it be nice to capture and show better pictures?
In this series, I get us thinking about...
1. How to tell a story with our photographs by understanding the 4 dimensions associated with the art.
2. The basic elements of "composing" our photographic story. How do we put things in our viewfinders so people get the essence of that moment that inspired us.
3. Understanding exposure, light and color and how they combine to say what we want.
4. How lens choice and operation effects focus and how focus effects what we show in our photos
5. The people in our photographs and the people we are showing them to.

Also see TOM ANG on the rule of thirds and other compositional techniques.

Autumn Term 08. Week 3. Silhouette Project.

2008-10-13T13:04:00.013+01:00

This project is intended to make students familar with photographic metering. measuring the light in different parts of the image to increase or reduce detail where necessary.
In the case of these images, the desired effect was a correctly exposed sky, with a bold, black form in the foreground.
Students used a 'centre weighted' or 'Spot' metering setting.
The desired effect was achieved by placing the centre of the viewfinder on the brightest part of the sky, half-depressing the shutter, and recomposing before capture.
This is the first part of a 3 part project which culminates in the use of basic Photoshop composition techniques.

Week 1 Notes

2008-09-22T10:28:00.004+01:00

COMPUTER SAFETY & THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Working with computers may not seem dangerous, but there are significant hazards.
Ignore the following guidelines at your own risk.

THE 30 MINUTE RULE
Now that computers are more powerful than ever, and operators no longer have to wait for their machines to process certain complicated operations, it is vital to remind yourself to STOP from time to time. Time spent away from the task is not wasted. Apart from keeping your body moving, helping your blood circulation to the brain and therefore helping you concentrate, it also gives you time to assess the progress of the job you are working on and gain some perspective.

POSTURE
The risk of lower back strain due to poor posture in inferior operator chairs is probably the greatest problem. All operators should ensure that chairs are of European safety standard, with adjustable heights with arms to support the wrist during extensive keyboard and mouse operations. In operation, the user should have a clear, slightly downward view of the computer monitor, with the arms of the chair supporting the hands above the keyboard or mouse. Feet should be supported in order to not constrict the flow of blood at the knees. Slouching or using an unsuitable chair will hinder concentration and WILL cause back problems which will threaten both health and income. Even if it is your grandfather’s bent-ash chair in which he used to dandle you on his knee, throw it on the bonfire before using it to work in.

REPETITION
Performing the same physical operation over and over again can cause Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). This is often associated with long periods of keyboard work using poor technique, or pressurised use of the mouse - again with little or no support for the arms. Joints and tendons may become inflamed, and, again, you may find yourself unable to work.

COMFORT
While working, always ensure that as much of your body is supported by the chair as possible. If you find yourself having to stretch or twist to perform operations such as using the mouse or striking keys, adapt your seating. Computer operation is not physical work, and you should be as relaxed as possible. The problem with this is that if you spend long periods doing nothing, you become extremely unfit. Injury or strain are not the only bad physical effects of long term computer use.

LIGHTING and VIEWING CONDITIONS.
Care should also be taken to ensure that lighting in the workplace is suitable.
The use of flourescent tubes should be avoided in conjunction with computer monitors as they both ‘flicker’ and this can be irritating and can cause headaches, nausea and other problems. Tungsten lighting with daylight coloured bulbs are the better substitute for natural light.

EYESIGHT.
Focusing for long periods at one plane will impair eyesight. Regular ‘focusing breaks’ should be taken during desk time in order to exercise the eye muscles. For this reason it is unwise to face a wall while working.
For correct colour perception, office walls should be painted in neutral shades. Bright, dark or intensely coloured paintwork will effect the way you see colours on screen.

VENTILATION
Breathing the ozone produced by laser printers all day is not healthy. You may start getting headaches and nausea. Some people have experienced worse. Ensure a constant source of ventilation in your workroom.

'Visual Democracy: Dorothea Lange' by Linda Gordon
You Tube Education

"Dorothea Lange was the country's most influential documentary photographer in the period 1930-1950. She worked for several state and federal government agencies documenting the social issues of this period: the Great Depression, FDR and his New Deals war against the depression crisis, Californias World War II defense industries, the Japanese internment, and the 1945 inaugural meeting of the United Nations in San Francisco. In Professor Linda Gordons lecture on Langes vision of American democracy, she suggests how visual images helped shape our political ethics.

Photography & Documentary Studies

This course will allow students to study the methods by which documentary work is conducted and to complete a documentary project of their own. The course will connect the qualitative methods of the social sciences and the humanistic concerns of the arts by allowing students to study documentary subjects as captured by non-fiction, photography, film, tape recorder, and the World Wide Web. Special emphasis will be placed on narrative and metaphor.

Making The Most Of This Course

2006-12-20T20:10:00.007Z

The whole point of this course is to learn how to use the equipment and software efficiently, skilfully and with imagination. Some students will want to use this course as work-related training, others will have different motives ranging from involvement in community groups to simply wanting to learn something new, all reasons are equally valid, and this course will try to satisfy, or even exceed, everyone’s needs.
________________________________________________________________________

Specific Aims:

Learning Goal 1: Advantages and disadvantages of Digital Photography.

Learning Goal 2: Using the camera.

Learning Goal 3: Understanding composition and creating interest.

Learning Goal 4: Publishing - Online and print.
________________________________________________________________________

Things you will need

1) Floppy disks or blank CDs for storage and transfer of files.
2) A4 ring binder, ideally with clear pages for artwork and notes.
3) General drawing and sketching materials.

Assessment - ‘Am I getting this?’
This is not an accredited course, and there is no examination or formal qualification attached. The only evidence of your achievements over the weeks will be what you produce yourself. The following will help to assess your progress throughout the course.

1. Work based practical assessment
This is confirmed with practical projects. The projects may be taken at any time during the course and you may repeat assignments that you are not happy with. If you have any real-life projects to do (community newsletters, business cards, brochures etc) feel free to use course time to get them done AS LONG AS THE JOB IS DONE TO A WORKING BRIEF.

2. Keep a Log Book
You should maintain and regularly update a Log Book throughout the course, creating an accurate record of your progress. This should contain, preferably in some sort of chronological order, any preparatory sketches for practical projects, proof prints done during sessions, notes of short-cuts or personal discoveries made by you or anyone else in the group, or any other items which you feel have contributed to your progress during the course.
As well as providing material evidence and reminders of your progress, keeping a log does bring some discipline to your work, and gives you a sense of control over your efforts. As this course is not accredited in any way, evaluation is partly in your own hands. The earlier this process begins the better. Such a record would also be valuable interview material for those intending further study.

3. Build a Portfolio of work.
If you have access to similar equipment and software at home or work you can undertake your own practical projects which can be submitted as support to the main assignments. If you do not have access to equipment you can use traditional methods to ‘mock up’ documents, either with hand drawing or cutting and pasting elements together.

4. Build a Scrap book.
Your book may contain work from magazines, newspapers, leaflets, posters etc. that you admire. You may also want to make notes about what you like about that particular style. You can also collect styles of DTP that you don’t like. You will find these useful references in the future for your own practical work.

5. Try a Bit of Everything.
Look at as many different kinds of images as you can. Sites like Flickr and Picasa Web Albums are very useful, and form a core element of this course. As your body of work grows, and you do different things with your images, you will more use for online storage sites such as Photobucket, Windows Live, Photobox, and Webshots. Online print services such as Truprint or your camera maker's are also very useful and can save a lot of time trouble and money on desktop printers which often give questionable quality and permanence.

6. Again! Again!
If you have ever tried to learn a language or musical instrument, this course should be a familiar experience. If you succeed in mastering a sequence of commands and are satisfied with the result, don’t sit back and gloat. Do it again. And again. Resist the temptation to rush on to the next step in order to ‘get the job done.’ Take time to master each step, repeating it until it becomes automatic. Only in this way can you overcome the initial manual problems and let your creativity loose.

Photographing the Past. Studio Nan Versus Remembered Nan

2006-12-09T21:02:00.018Z

Original. 'Nan' photographed as quickly as possible.

More like the Nan as remembered. The photograph the photographer would have preferred to have taken, if he'd had the time. Courtesy of image manipulation.

The question of this 1950's remembrance image was, 'Is this how you remember your grandmother?'. Obviously, the photographer was not being paid enough to take a great deal of trouble over 'conveying the character' of the sitter.
The next question is therefore whether to adjust it to be more faithful to the memory of the sitter is to be unfaithful to historical truth.
Does emotional truth take precedence over the chemical record of the moment, snatched briefly without any sympathy with the sitter, or much real consideration of the needs of the target audience for the photograph?
The slight rotation of the head, plus 'smearing' of the edges of the mouth with Photoshop make the photographed Nan more like the real Nan, according to her grand-daughter. Which reality is truer?

A Sub Antarctic Expedition

Holiday Cruise around the Subantarctic Islands of New Zealand and Australia arranged through 'Ornitholidays' with 'Heritage Expeditions New Zealand Ltd' from November 22nd to December 13th 2005.

Some of the islands do not allow landings but we were able to get close on zodiac/naiad boats.
Islands visited:- Snares (zodiac), Auckland (landing on Enderby Island), Macquarie (landings), Campbell (landing), Antipodes (zodiac), Bounty (zodiac) and Chatham (landing).

We were very fortunate with the weather - the worst we had was misty rain in Buckles Bay, Macquarie Island.

Some of the zodiac trips were done in rough conditions but the wildlife, photo opportunities and the total experience made them worthwhile!

Photographs taken using the stills facility on a Panasonic NV-G35 30x zoom Digital Video Camera. The 30x zoom proved invaluable.
