pt1Experimental Photography - Steve.-Finished

Camera obscura:
We created a camera obscura using two different methods the first one we did was a Dark Room, we completely blacked out our class room leaving a small hole in tin foil on the window. Light travels in straight lines so this enabled us to see outside the class room upside down, Firstly the images of outside projected onto the walls a celling of the room.

This is what he room looked like. I do apologise for the fact that its unclear as I had a 5 second exposure and lack of tripod.
After this we taped a focal lens from a pair of old glasses to the hole, then Catlin and Danielle held up a cut up bin liner infront of the hole which aloud the light to project onto the bin liner.

 We found that when you moved the bin liner away the image was a lot smaller and unfocused and when you got closer it was enlarged and slightly more focused.

The second method of Camera Obscura was made with a small card box with a square cut out, where we had cut a square we taped bin liner to it, we held camera lenses against the lit subject this projected the image onto the bin liner and as the liner was white you could see it through the liner.





Infra Red Filter.

Using the internet Katie discovered that we could make a infra red filter from a piece of 7 by 5 cm film, we couldn't exactly remember the process for doing this when it came down to it so we had to go by ideas, so we made 3 test filters, 1 filter we exposed then developed the other two we developed un exposed pieces of film.
We discovered that the exposed film worked better for the infra red filter as it was darker and gave the correct effects.

Stereo Grams.
Stereo Grams are basically a trick of the mind. You have 2 images separate from each other, the images have to be of the same thing, we used a pair of 3+ focal reading glasses from pound land, held the image up and looked just over the image and it appeared 3D.

Scanography.

Scanography it making photographs using a scanner not a camera because in theory a scanner is a camera really.
so you can take random objects or even people and scan them straight into your computer.
