Project 8

Image
Cyanotypes: this is a photography method that produces a blue print. Engineers used this process well into the 20th century as simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process consists of using two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide. Cyanotype: Kallitypes: Carbon and Carbro:

Alternative Process, Polaroid SX-70 manipulation

Image
Polaroid SX-70 manipulation an old film technique using a polaroid Sx-70 camera and time zero film. Once the true picture is taken you then you process the film on the spot following the exposure, and then the manipulation of the image is done at the same point in time. SX-70 film, now called time zero film, came out in 1972 with the polaroid Sx-70 land camera. The emulsion did not harden as quickly as it was supposed to, allowing artists using various tools to push and smear the dye and base layers around to create impressionistic-looking, or "painterly" images. Some people continue the process through digital manipulation or painting/drawing over the Mylar cover with oils, acrylics, or inks, or otherwise embellishing the image.

Cyanotype

Image
Cyanotype photos consist of a image of a white background is obtained using a negative transparency. In order to obtain a pale white image on the blue background, you have to use a positive transparency. Cyanotypes are created with a simple solution of ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide.

Multiple Images-Project 7

Image
Project 7 was focused on putting multiple images together but in different forms and tactics of photo editing. their was three ways of editing these multiple images, HDR, Panorama, and multiple images. HDR is taking 2 to 3 images that have different exposures and you combine them to essentially make a fake image. Panorama is taking pictures of the different things in the same area and then combining together and making a image that resembles a panoramic photo. Multiple images is stacking a couple images together to make for a kind of trippy affect. Multiple images: Panorama:  HDR:
