Multiple flash Image bank

A camera that implements multiple flashes can be used to find depth edges or create stylized images. Successive flashing of strategically placed flash mechanisms results in shadows along the depths of the scene. This information can be manipulated to suppress or enhance details or capture the intricate geometric features of a scene (even those hidden from the eye), to create a non-photorealistic image form.

Here the movement and projection of the ball is shown through the many different balls in the picture which convey the bounces of the ball. This also gives the sense of lines which are in the shapes of arcs which get smaller towards the right. Therefore showing the movement of the ball.

In this photo the different stages of the golfers swing is shown which is made clear through the many different straight lines, showing the shaft of the golf club. The lines and shapes in the picture are enhanced by the dark surroundings. Also the ball appears 5 times which projects its movement as they are all heading towards the same direction. The last ball is streaked which gives the impression of movement.

This picture contains eight different images within it. The different pictures illustrate the different stages of the dancers movement as the body is poses in eight different positions. The shape and structure of the body is enhanced through the use of the dark background. Each picture overlaps each other and seems like the opacity levels have been altered.

Close ups - Work Diary

In this shoot I focussed on creating close ups of objects where I used the macro setting on my camera and took pictures at its maximum zoom. When doing this I tended to focus on specific parts of the subject and in doing so this area being very detailed. In most pictures the background would be blurred which enhances the detail of the focal point.

Here I attempted to produced a silhouette type of effect where the objects in the foreground are much darker and defined than objects in the middle and background. Here the contrast of light and colour enhances the detail of the leaves and branches in the foreground. The background lighter and blurred in comparison to the foreground. I feel like this image is very effective however, perhaps I could of zoomed in more to the subject in order to form a photograph which reinforces the close up theme.

In this close up image I chose for the subject to be a plant. Using my camera's maximum zoom as well as the macro mode I was able to produce a very detailed image of a small section of the flower. The camera is focussed on the middle of the flower whereas the rest is blurred which enhances the detail of this point. Also the centre of the flower is much more vibrant and colours which contributes to the fact that this area is the focal point.This effect is continued through the background being much darker. The contrasts between lighter and darker tones show the shape and form of the flowers petals.
