For my final photo i had to create an exhibition poster or a magazene cover, for this i made the same poster and magazene cover but in two different colours and fonts to see which i liked best...



I tried this text because i thought it looked similar to the origional but i then decided that it didnt look right

I also tried changing the blossom to orange to put under the tiger as i thought it would look better if it was a more natural colour.

 

 

I then changed the text to look more like the actual magazene and did this in both colours to ...

 

 

 



 

I Prefered this text and decided that this was the one i would use. I also wanted to try to create an exhibition poster so i used the same text font and both the colours but a different photo.  

 

 

 

Darkroom double exposure using patterned matterial.......

My starting photo...

This was printed at F5.6 with a 26 second exposure after doing a test strip.

I then re - did the photo with a piece of ribbon on top of my negative in the negative carrier and used the same aperture but upped my exposure by 2 seconds so it was exposed for 28 seconde instead or 26.

Starting photo.........

The first thing i wanted to do was to eliminate the background, to do this i first used the magnetic lasoo tool, i started at the furthest left point of the umbrella and whent around it to the furthest right point and then to the right of the photo, back around the other two edges then to goin up with the starting point.



Next i used the eyedropper tool to select the area of the photo that was the whitest because i would be painting the rest of the background to match it and it may not have been pure wihte. I then selected the brust tool at 100% opaccity to fill in the rest of the selection.



Finally i used the clone stamp tool and the healing brush tool to soften the harsh lines of the shaddow and to blend it all together.

Technical dark room.........

This is an LPL 7452 enlarger head
that we use in the dark room.

 These are medium format 6 by 6 and 6 by 7 negative holders with a medium format lens (green ring) and attaching ring.

This is a large format negative holder with a large format lens and attachment ring.

 

 This is a 35mm lens and negative holder, what i used to print from my 35mm film. 

This is the correct way that a lens fits into the holder.

The lens fits into the enlarger head with the aperture sign facing towards you so that you can see what aperture you have set your lens to. Then you tighten the screw on the side to hold it in place.

 

 A 35mm negative holder.

 Put the negatives in the holder shiny side up and upside down so when projected on to the board at the bottom the photo appears the right way up.

 Pull the leaver down to lock the holder in place, it is then safe to turn the enlarger light on. If the leaver is not pulled down then the light will spill across the room and fog any paper that is out.

 The controls on the side of the enlarger, the one nearest to the wall can be loosened to adjust the height of the enlarger and the one nearest to you focuses the photo.

 The filtration, Cyan, yellow and magenta, the controls are on the right hand side of the enlarger and the leaver on the front turns the filtration on and off.

My dark room double exposures 

This was done on F8 and exposed for 25 seconds after doing a teat strip.

I did this on F8 and exposed it for 23 seconds

This was done on F8 for 28 seconds.

This was set to F8 and exposed for 22 seconds

This was also set to F8 and exposed for 25 seconds.

 

 

Experimental double exposures

To do these i scanned in a drawing to put over a photo.

1. I choose the photo and the drawing and the photo i want to use

2. I chose the move tool and dragged one photo on top of the other and resized it.

 3. I lowered the opacity of the top image.

I then had my final double exposure made in photoshop

I also made a double exposure using one of my drawings, scanned in and a long exposure of a tree and the sky taken in the lake district.

1. i chose the photo and scanned in drawing i wanted to use.

2. I then choose the move tool and dragged the drawing onto the photo and resized it.

 3. I then lowered the opacity of the drawing.

My final double exposure made in photoshop.

Another example but this time using two drawings placed side by side, resized to fit together and lowered to the same opacity.

 

I also tried reversing it to make the drawings bolder....

 

 

 

 

creating an experimental double exposure in photoshop elements 10

1. I choose the two photos i wanted to work on, i choose two i took in london, one of the tower bridge and one of the market.

2. Click the select tool and drag one photo onto the other.

3. lower the opacity of the top photo.

4. Add a new blank layer in the layers palet.

 

 

5. Click on the gradient too, chose a coloured gradient and click the cross on one side of the screen and drag it to the other in the direction you want the gradient to appear.

 

 

 

6. lower the opacity of the gradient layer.

 

 

 

I then ended up with my finished experimental double exposure.

 

 



 

 

 

Creating double exposures in photoshop elemens 10...

1. I choose the two photos that i wanted to use.

2. I selected the move tool and dragged the photo of the flower over the one of the duck.

3. I lowered the oppacity of the layer with the photo of the flower on.

 I ended up with my double exposure.

I really like the fact that this is a colur photo over a black and white one because you can still see the vivid colours of the flower whilst seeing the detail of the black and white duck, so that the colouring looks real.
