Movement and
Trails

Within my third stage I want to experiment with a slow shutter speed and create long exposure images of car lights on a motorway. This stage will focus on the lines of light created from these cars and manipulating them, there is also an element in the darkroom where I hand make photograms focusing on lines within a self created composition.

Settings:

When experimenting with the manual camera it is important not to ignore the exposure triangle. Since my shutter is going to be open for as long as 30 seconds I need to adjust the aperture to let as little light into the camera as possible. In addition, I also kept the ISO the same by using a  filter that attached onto the end of my camera lens (ND2-400 Filter) which helped stop my photos from being overexposed.

ISO: 100
Aperture: f/36
Shutter speed: 30.00s

ISO: 100
Aperture: f/32
Shutter speed: 15.00s

ISO: 100
Aperture: f/32
Shutter speed: 10.00s

ISO: 100
Aperture: f/36
Shutter speed: 10.00s

Film Grain:

Using film grain, I wanted to make my images have a 'vintage' feel to them like Eric Staller sometimes achieves in his images, whilst also merging it with the lines to see what effect it creates.

Cropped Gallery:

Focusing on the movement of the lines within the composition.

Failed Images:

Even though these images failed due to elements such as movement or incorrect settings, I thought these still looked interesting to the eye as the look almost like lighting.

Layering Developments:

Previous images layered on top of original images.

Photogram Set 1:

Using string, I wanted to create my own intersecting lines that I will overlay on top of my original images. These photograms were exposed for 6 seconds however, I would like to create another set where the lines are fully white.

Photogram Set 2:

Exposed for 8 seconds.
