Exam preperation

These images are a springboard for exploring what I could create using my own photography as a time constrained set piece.

Harris Effect

The harris effect was discovered by Robbert Harris of Kodak. Originally this effect was created by taking the same photo over and over placing different coloured filters in front of the lease, now a days with modern technology it just involves combining red channels, with blue channels and green channels.

Timelapse

Time-lapse photography is a cinematography technique where the rate at which film frames are captured is much lower than that at which the sequence will be played back.  In using this technique, I am manipulating time. Objects and events that would normally take minutes, days, hours, or months can be viewed to completion in seconds.


My time-lapse recording comprises 1200 frames taken over a period of about 40 minutes. When replayed, the viewer experiences the activity in a period of just 2 minutes. I chose to take numerous frames per activity and, on playback the time lapse photos could almost be a video taken in real-time. I took the oppourtunity to chose a topic in which the subject interacts very closely with their immediate enviroment, in effect a timelapse version of an enviromental portrait. 

Scanography

Scanography is the process of capturing digitised images of objects for the purpose of creating printable art using a flatbed scanner.

For my images, I experimented with my hands, first over laying them on bubble wrap and  cling film, and then moving them as the scanner passed over the flatbed. I also scanned my head, which revealed interesting textures and highlights, and other objects including an etched glass, and CDs.
