Eadweard Muybridge

I have planned to take some photographs  in a busy public place and I decided visitto Kingston station. I wanted also to experiment with different lights, exposures and timing.

*I used long exposure/timings

* Use a small aperture, for example f22 

* Experiment with multiple separate exposures

* In some of the photos i change the ISO 

.*I used available lights instead of flashes

fast shutter speed

For this photographs me and my friends setup the Uni’s studio to experiment with fast shutter speed. the object we use were eggs.

Team work did:  two of my friends did the egg smashing, one was on the camera, I mostly was the assistance and I did a bit of directing. 

I want to do something like this for my project.

An artist with an interesting take on movement is David Hockney. Through the 70’s and 80’s Hockney produced a series of works that he called ‘joiners’. These were multiple photographs, often Polaroid’s, arranged in a collage. The earliest pieces in this series of works were often portraits but as the subjects moved, as would the framing of the photograph. This produced a short story of the way that the photographer perceived the subject over a period of time (all be it short) as appose to a single moment which is a restriction of a single photographic image.

His works is beautiful.

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Ori Gersht, an Israeli-born artist who has spent the last fifteen years exploring the territory in which violence and beauty overlap, often with a special focus on how a landscape can bear witness. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston has just opened a mid-career survey of his work titled, “Ori Gersht: History Repeating.” On view through Jan. 6, the show was curated by Al Miner.

In the second segment, I’ll inaugurate what will be become a regular feature on the program over the next year or so: Jackson Pollock’s landmark 1943 Mural is in the collection of the University of Iowa Museum of Art, but for the rest of this year and next it will be at the Getty for conservation treatment. “Mural” is one of the most important paintings of the 20th century. As long as Mural is at the Getty, I’ll be checking in with the conservators working on it to hear about what they’re doing with it and what they’re learning about it. My first guest in that series will be Yvonne Szafran, the conservator of paintings at the J. Paul Getty Museum.

#PhotoShopp

Using Photoshop I have combined my photographs to make one single image that tells the story of what I saw as the rider rode past me. I found that I didn’t need all of the photographs that I had taken however. There were quite a few that over lapped which made the editing harder and the image look too busy. Being selective over the photos that I have used has ensured all the key moments are there and it is still easy to understand.
