fast shutter speed

For this shoot I had assistance to help me with poring the food colours inside to the wine glass and my other friend help me to mix the water to get that waves that I have in some of my photographs.  I experimented with different food colours as well.

fast shutter speed

For this photographs me and my friends setup the Uni’s studio to experiment with fast shutter speed. the object we use were eggs.

Team work did:  two of my friends did the egg smashing, one was on the camera, I mostly was the assistance and I did a bit of directing. 

slow shutter speed

For this photographs I used the same mattered to take it, except this time i also used fire cracker.

For this photographs I stud still while I was moving my hand around to get images with blurred motion that requires slow shutter speed.

In this photographs I wanted to capture frozen motions and ast shutter speed in the same way as in my other experiment.

I haven’t show my contact sheets because I edit my photographs dawn to this. I have used three soft box lights. I was the photographe. This photograph is the one I mostly like because everything is in the right place the way she flipped her hair and where it’s been placed.

Me and my friends setup the university’s studio and each of us took turn to take photographs, each of us had a role to take for example: photographer, director, assistance ...ect. 

I framed my model Dafnne and I wanted to capture of frozen motion, by using fast shutter speed. 

I used long exposure and available lights for this shoot and i wanted to capture lots of different movements as much as possible. 

In this images I experimented with setting up different time and  changed the exposure as well.

I have planned to take some photographs  in a busy public place and I decided visitto Kingston station. I wanted also to experiment with different lights, exposures and timing.

*I used long exposure/timings

* Use a small aperture, for example f22 

* Experiment with multiple separate exposures

* In some of the photos i change the ISO 

.*I used available lights instead of flashes 

My experiments.

For our purposes an image like this there are lot’s of visible moving elements, the students walking by and lot of additional detail. I experimented with using different exposure and timimg.

Michael Wesely

Michael Wesely

The recent work of photographer Michael Wesely (Munich, 1963) proposes an interesting way for travelling across the liquid nature of time in photography. In his hands, the time contained in a single picture is dilated to the extent of becoming a matter of days, months and even years.

Over the last two decades, Michael Wesely has been developing a long exposure technique, whose details are still kept in secret, that allowed him to make images up to 3 years of exposure time - Wesely claims indeed that he could do exposures almost indefinitely, up to 40 years -. Presumably he´s using a large format camera of 4x5, extended for allowing the use of a pinhole-like lens which might be suited with ND filters for reducing dramatically the final amount of light exposed to the negative. However, the real gear remains elusive and we can only speak certainly about its results. What follows below is a set of photographs that document the re-construction of the

Museum of Modern Art of New York

, from its demolition in 2001 until its complete re-building in 2004. Wesely used 8 cameras positioned in four different corners around the construction site, and he left the shutter open for up to 34 months.

The way Edward Muybridge photographed.

the way he photographed he’s photos.

Eadweard Muybridge

cool

I didn’t think I could love Edward Muybridge more! And now Mark Rosen and Wendy Marvel took his images and created motorized flip books. There’s a kickstarter campaign so eventually everyone can have their own crank flip book. 

i chose this music video because the way is been shoot is looks like Eadweard Muybridge photographs style.

edweard muybridge

here’s my theory

edweard muybridge

was actually a horse

and he made a deal with the other horses that if

that if

when he took that picture of one of them w/ all their feet in the air

that he would give that horse all his horse money

but he never did

and he still gained world wide film fame from it

he was never a horse again
