Large Format Printing

This photo was one I had taken about three years ago with a Holga camera. I took a photo of a mosque at Arab Street and double exposed it with a wall pattern of flowers. For the printing of this photo I set the contrast at 4.5 and exposed it with the red filter for 30 seconds.

This photo was taken by a 35mm film camera of two of my dogs outside. For the printing of this photo I also set the contrast at 4.5 and exposed it with the red filter for 45 seconds. Also, to make everything except the dog on the left darker, I used dodging. 

Shutter Speed Project

For this project we had to photograph motion either frozen or blurred. To do this we would change the shutter speed on our cameras.

These two photos that showed motion blurred. The first is of one of my dogs barking and the second is of my other dog moving. I believe I used a shutter speed of around 1/30. Although the photos are already blurred, I with I had put a slower shutter speed so that the photos would be more blurred.

These two photos are my frozen motion photos. I took them of SAS students running on the track during their PE classes. For these photos I used a very fast shutter speed of 1/100. In the first photo the students are running and in the second photo the students are walking. In the second photo I got a few strange marks that appeared. Above the students, there is a bunch of flecks and on the right of the photo there seem to be shapes of people.

Quarter Two Gallery Visit

1. This was probably my favorite piece of his that he showed. I love how it wasn't just an aesthetically pleasing piece of art but a social commentary about how technology is affecting the way we live. And he also talked about how he added a personal touch to it by having the guy watch TV indoors because his father had social anxiety.

2. I really like how although he acknowledged the fact that getting a successful art career can be tough , he didn't discourage pursuing it. And hearing his experiences from before he got successful when he worked at a restaurant and still remaining positive and how he never stopped pursuing his dream was really inspirational.

3. I think it's really cool how he branches into many different areas of art like he illustrates magazine covers, writes & illustrates children's books, draws his own comics. It's really nice to see how he has a job where he can do whatever he likes. It's nice to see how although art is seen as a really difficult career path to take, there are actually a lot of jobs that require it. 

4. It was also really inspirational how he never stopped drawing even after being rejected multiple times for years. It shows that if you don't give up you will eventually achieve what you want. I want to double major in graphic design and go into a job that would incorporate it in the future and it's really nice to see that it is possible to make a career out of it.
