Task one was again like at the beginning of every new task was just research, which I understand its always good to get some ideas and inspiration for your project, but it can get very boring and dull most of the time and it would be good if we could mix it up a little bit.
Task two was another research task. We were asked to research photographic processing laboratories. I did not enjoy this task research is deftly not my favourite thing to do and I only managed to find anything apart from pro-am. When I was looking on-line for others I couldn't find many and any i did find, didn't have any clear online information.
Task three was to go out and photograph digital images of glass. I liked this task as it enabled us to get out of the classroom and to do some photography. However, finding interesting glass things in Bradford was difficult and for it to be different was hard as well because we photograph in Bradford a lot and it again can get very boring and bull.
Task four was to go out and shoot a black and white film. I decided that I would go out into Bradford and try to get some interesting photographs which was difficult, it wasn't very nice weather which benefit me as it means that I could go out and try get some interesting photographs of the rain, which I has never done before. Photographing rain can be difficult and very cold but I got some very interesting images from this shoot.
Task five was again, a black and white film however, using an object. I decided to photograph my glass crustal ball and a jack dandles bottle I used the this to manipulate the reflections and make the appear different, i enjoyed playing with the angles to get different effects.
Task six was to do risk assessments for the darkroom including the do's and don'ts. It was a very simply, straight forward task and it didn't take that long to complete. It was good to refresh the memory of the rules in the darkroom as we haven't been in for so long.
Task seven was my favourite task by far. It was to shoot reflections. I really enjoyed looking for the reflections and trying to get the most unique ones. although the majority of the time was spent looking for them, I enjoyed photographing them and finding out what apatures will would work and what wouldn't.
The comparison shoot was very interesting. I liked enjoying shooting on both camera's side by side to see the differences and also to see how different but how sometimes how similar the images come out on colour film and digital. I really enjoyed it. I always enjoy photographing with film the outcomes are always interesting and different every time.
The Christmas task was pretty easy. It was to simply photograph baubles and lights. There wasn't much too it therefore, it felt like it was just taking images. I did not really enjoy this as Christmas is not my favourite.
Task ten was to manipulate your images. I found this very frustrating as I am terrible on Photoshop and always find it difficult. When i stopped getting stressed and started to play around a little it all become easy and was more fun.
Putting a person in a bottle was one of the easiest to do when it came to photo manipulation. It was quite simple when it came to photoshope however, whilst in the studio and getting the right positions for the model to be able to fit in was quite difficult however, it came out very well. I enjoyed it a lot.
Over all this Unit taught me a lot about photoshop and I enjoyed being able to go into the darkroom again. I really enjoyed the amount of freedom we had and I also liked playing around in photoshop.
