Capturing movement in photography

I wanted to try and capture movement in photography, i started by photographing my kitten, because she moves so fast i thought it would be a good way to try it out before moving outside.

I am still new to photography so i am trying to really see how to form a photograph, this image above, captures movement but there is too much going on in the back ground and it is low quality, this is a snap not a photograph. i decided to 'set up a scene' so to speak with what i had to hand.

I really like this image, i think because you can make out more of her face, but i think the second one really shows more movement. I used my Iphone to take these images and used the fast shutter speed to try and capture her moving.

I also decided to try and edit these i didn't do much just added a blue hue, Except for this one below.

I liked the pop of red in this image, but decided all the flowers red wouldn't look as good, so i decided to just edit all but one black and white. I then decided to try and capture more, i took photos of my hand with the fast shutter speed and then i over took a photo and overlaid it on top of itself over and over.

I quite like that this changes the mood to very dark with over laying, i wondered how it would look with just two images on top of each other multiple times.

I prefer this image to the top one, it is quite freaky and makes it look really deformed, which i like, i decided to try a lot of different images to see how that would turn out.

The first image has more layers,10, and the second one has 5 i really like the second image i think it really captures the movement in the hands. Quite a lot of fun! i find this very interesting and i am going to continue with it, i think it is a lot more interesting visually, to me, when something is in motion. I really like the images of my cat, i like the one with the flower in motion the best i think it just gives it an extra something, brings it to life a little bit. I think when continuing this i would move outside and try and capture some nature shots of perhaps cars in motion. A lot of ideas buzzing around in my head right now on what i can do, i think i am really starting to get more comfortable with a camera now and i am starting to really enjoy it. I started this course with my mind set on body painting and now i feel like my mind is starting to expand and i am having so much fun with all these different types of art i am trying out.

Art & Design project HNC

Art & Design project HNC This year for project i wanted to work with moving image again but try and really push myself. i dont want to ignore the fact that i have done research before, i want this to seem like i am pushing forwards from what i have done before. Here are blog posts i have done in the past that i am going to use as a foundation to build upon. https://catrinaannbarquist.blogspot.com/2017/01/for-my-new-unit-i-have-decided-to-look.html https://catrinaannbarquist.blogspot.com/2017/03/specialist-techniques-film-part-1_15.html https://catrinaannbarquist.blogspot.com/2017/05/specialist-techniques-looking-at-more.html https://catrinaannbarquist.blogspot.com/2017/05/green-screen.html https://catrinaannbarquist.blogspot.com/2018/06/art-project-evaluation.html Tony Oursler is an American multimedia and installation artist. I looked at his work last year. I really liked his work, I love the first two and the use of 3D mapping for the p...

Starting experimenting with photography

After looking into the work of Henry Weston i decided to try and experiment,first, with negative space. It was something that stood out to me a lot in some of his work, as i spoke about in my report. i started by just taking a few pictures as i noticed it around me. I think these are a very interesting start and have a lot of potential, i decided to play around with the editing a bit by cropping them, changing the contrast and making them black and white. i like this image and i think composition wise it works. i also think it looks good in black and white as it has gotten rid of the chance of clashing colours and sets a different kind of mood. The subject is in focus and it looks quite sharp. I cropped it a little and changed the contrast and exposure. i prefer this image to the top one as i like the spacing between the feet compared to the first one i think it is more visually pleasing, i also rotated this image just as an experiment. ...

Experimenting with photography - identity

I started off this series of experiments by thinking about myself, how i see myself and how i choose to be seen, how do i identify myself? I started thinking this when i was doing my report on Art Wolfe, looking at his human canvas photographs i wanted to do something with body painting, and i am working on that. But i wanted to try out digital editing first, i enjoy this kind of art and wanted to experiment with it. I started by taking a picture of myself, nothing fancy just me in front of a white background. I have always thought about myself as someone who struggles with identity, in some ways i feel like i stand out but in other ways i feel like i can blend into a background or a crowd when i want too. i kept this thought going by blurring out my face in the photograph. I then decided to change the face and background white to match each other, i liked the way this image looked and felt like it expressed my feelings of no identity. but not strong enough about hiding...
