Slow Sync

Slow sync flash

Slow sync flash is just a fancy term for using your flash with a slow shutter speed. It helps you keep your subject sharp while capturing motion or a dark background. Firing the flash at the start of the exposure is known as "front curtain" or "1st curtain". Firing it at the end is known as "rear curtain". Slow sync flash combines a slow shutter speed with a burst of flash




ISO 200, F22, Shutter speed 1/125


ISO 200, F22, shutter speed 4


ISO 200, F22, shutter speed 8


ISO 200, F22, shutter speed 10

My images were of Eleanor. I increased the shutter speed to increase the motion blur in the photos i took a picture at 1/125 shutter speed to show what the photos look like without blur, i increased it to 4 seconds, then 8, then 10.the blur increased as you can see in every photo.

Wide Angle and Close Up

Animated GIF Technique

An approach taken when using wide angle lens e.g. 18 mm – 24 mm and shooting the main foreground subject close up.  This approach will render interesting outcomes as the lens distorts the foreground subject.

Wide-angle lenses can be employed when shooting close-ups for a unique approach to working with foreground elements, unusual perspectives and extended depth of field. These combinations can create some of your most dynamic landscape images.

Manual camera settings (to fix the exposure), Manual focus, Direct the shoot (composition/framing and where the moving elements will move from and to are important, Photo-editing software

Animated GIF Technique Work Diary

•       post listing exactly how the images were produced.

•       Analysing the visual outcome (how does the photograph look?)

•       Is it an expected outcome or otherwise, why does the photograph look this way?

•       How  might I improve my image.

•       Progression: in the progression section identify whether you would wish to pursue this technique within your personal investigation.

Animated GIF Technique

Animated GIF Technique

An animated GIF is an image encoded in graphics interchange format (GIF), which contains a number of images or frames in a single file and is described by its own graphics control extension. The frames are presented in a specific order in order to convey animation. An animated GIF can loop endlessly or stop after a few sequences.

how the images were produced.

1. take pictures using a burst shot
2. import to photoshop
3. open timeline
4. create video
5. drag into timeline 
6. adjust duration
7. put on loop
8. save to web
9. loop forever
10. save

My images 

I used a tripod for these pictures and took them using a burst shot making a series of pictures close together in time. I then edited these pictures into a gif, which looks smooth, but it doesn't loop, which I need to fix.

Sequencing Technique

Sequencing technique

a sequence is a serial arrangement in which things follow in logical order or a recurrent pattern. Photo sequencing is actually stitching multiple images together and it is a form of time-lapse photography. A change in an object’s position over time is being displayed and it only works when the object moves across a static background.

I took some photos of people walking and then I edited them into one picture to show people walking.
