3 Lights Set Up

Today we did the 3 lights set up and had each of our picture taken and took a picture of some else.

Camera Obscura

Today we tried to do a Camera Obscura. To achieve this we got a Pringle tube, cut around it on the bottom third of it then cut the lid on the bit we cut off and underneath the lid put tissue paper there. Also we put a hole at the bottom of the Pringle tube. then we re attached the rest of the tube on to the top of the tube then we covered it in tin foil. Once it was completed we decided to test them out to see if they worked, unfortunately mine didn't work.

Muybrige's motion workshop

Today we recreated Muybrige's motion studies by setting up four cameras in a row along the room. The reason we did this was to take a picture of a person when they walked by each camera. This would show the different stages in the persons walk.

The latent image was developed, by placing the exposed plate over a slightly heated (about 30°C / 90°F) cup of mercury. The next operation was to fix the photographic image permanently on the plate by dipping in a solution of hyposulphite of soda to dissolve the unexposed halides.
