The surfer was killed and the tribe stole his board but this tragedy created a whole new surfing culture. The Bugga people Picked up on what the surfer was doing and they began to ride the waves that were trapped inside of their paradise.

Daguerrotype: - Invented by Louis Jaques Mande Daguerre - The first public photographic process - Used as the most common type of photography for almost twenty years - Commercially used from 1839-1860 How to make Daguerreotype: 1) A copper plate with a silvered face is used 2) The plate is polished 3) The polished and silvered copper plate is then sensitized by exposing it to iodine and bromine fumes 4) The plate is now light sensitive and placed in its holder 5) The camera is placed on its tripod 6) The image of the subject is focused in the camera 7) The holder with the sensitized plate is inserted into the camera 8) the lens cap is removed from the camera and the plate is exposed to light 9) A mercury bath is used to develop the image on the plate Cyanotype
- Invented by John Herschel - Made in 1792-1871 - John H. was an astronomer who wanted to find a way to copy his notes One of the first to use this method was Anna Atkins and shortly after she published the first book with cyanotype photographs How to make cyanotype: 1) Coat paper in potassiumferricyanide and Perricammonium salts 2) The paper is then used for printing or writing 3) The piece is then exposed to the sun to start a chemical reaction 4) the piece is then bathed in water and the result is a white image on a deep blue background Aperture f/1.8, Shutter Speed 1/2000th of a second, ISO 200Aperture f/8, Shutter Speed 1/100th of a second, ISO 200 Aperture f/16, Shutter Speed 1/25th of a second, ISO 200 Aperture Priority gives the photographer the ability to adjust the depth of field in many new camera types that we have today. While taking these photos we discovered that aperture is expressed in F-numbers and the lower the number the wider the aperture. The opposite occurs when higher F-numbers are used to shrink the aperture. With this experiment we used three different aperture settings including, f-1.8, f-8, and f-16. The visual difference between the higher and lower aperture settings include an obvious depth of field change. With an F-number of 1.8, only the first box is in focus and the background is blurred. As the F-numbers get higher it improves the depth of field and begins to show more of the background. Once the F-number is at 16, you can clearly see that all three boxes are in focus.

A quick and easy way to transfer light from an object, into a small hole, and reversed back onto the wall of a dark room. Camera Obscura is a creative yet effective way to transfer an image. This was the original camera and is still a fun way to see how photography has evolved from using this to what we have today. My goal for taking photographs is to capture a certain emotion or to express who I am. My surreal selfie photo was a challenge because I am more interested in taking realistic pictures. Having to create something surreal out of a real photo is an interesting concept that requires a creative mind. When I learned that I had to create a surreal selfie, I knew that I had to use a picture of me surfing. Surfing represents who I am because it takes up most of my free time and my father is the one who got me hooked on the sport. My dad is a huge inspiration to me because he is one of the most well rounded and hard working people I know.
In the photo of me surfing, I added a very obvious background in the wave. I chose to include New York City into my surreal selfie because I have a very strong connection with the New York area. My mom currently lives in Monmouth county New Jersey with my little brother and you can see the city from their house so I try to visit them as much as possible. The picture shows waves in California and buildings in New York City because it represents my travels and adventures. The photo is inspired by a tattoo that I got in New jersey with waves and mountains over top of New York City because it represents that (out of all of the places I have lived) I would rather live in a place with waves and mountains instead of a city. The surreal selfie is a type of photograph that I usually do not put time into on my own. This created a fun challenge of trying to figure out editing apps and different picture blenders. First of all I put my original photo into a picture editing app called Aviary. I then adjusted the filter, brightness, and sharpness to get a solid base to blend with another picture. Once my original photo was edited, I inserted the photo in a picture blending app called Pic Blender. This is where I found a picture of New York City that I felt went with my original picture very well. When I finally figured out how to blend the two picture together so that it looked correct, I inserted the merged picture back into Aviary to clean up the details. I think that these surreal photos are very creative and give people a chance to express themselves beyond just a single photo. Also learning about these new picture editing apps gave me the ability to do more awesome projects like this again in the future. |
