School Community Project- Perspective of Place

This is my collage I created for this project. For my photography class my teacher had the students pick a place that represented our community for our city and school. My partner and I decided to go to a coffee shop in our area. I went there and took around 30 photos of the outside from different angles and perspectives. The idea was to put all the photos together in a collage. Even though this didn't turn out exactly as planned I had fun. My partner and I got creative and kept making cool cuts with the photos and making them pop up or stick out. I don't think what we did was exactly what we were supposed to do but I am proud of the interesting things we came up with. I represents our unique creativity and our communities weird personality.

Project #8 - Digital Alternative Process

Daguerreotype: Invented by Louis-Jacques-Mandè Daguerre and introduced worldwide in 1839. To use this technique you have to polish a sheet of silver-plated copper, use fumes on it to make the surface light sensitive expose it in a camera, use chemical treatment to remove the light sensitivity, rinse and dry it, then seal the easily marred result behind glass in a protective enclosure.

Cyanotype:
Produces cyan-blue prints
Engineers used the process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide.
Invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842
Mix equal volumes of an 8.1% solution of potassium ferricyanide and a 20% solution of ferric ammonium citrate. Apply a photosensitive solution to a receptive surface and allow to dry in a dark place.

Platinum and Palladiums:
Platinum is a hand-coated, UV light sensitive contact printing process. The final print will be the same size as the negative used. This is due to the low light sensitivity of the medium. Platinum is one of the iron printing processes, as a compound called Ferric Oxalate is the light sensitive material. Print exposure time 6 minutes. 
Platinum is the more permanent of the two, gives a cooler image tone and better separation in the highlights. Palladium is warmer, and gives better separation in the shadows of the print. Many printers use a combination of the two to reap the benefits of both. In any case, the prints exhibit a very long scale in the mid-tones, possess a feeling of depth (due the fact that the paper has no gelatin overcoat), and are completely archival without the use of fixer or long wash times.

For this project we learned about the image techniques of panaroma HDR, and and multi layer. We walked around a Portland Park from our school and we took photos having these techniques in mind. I used Photoshop to edit them and these are my final photos for this project.
