Camera Obscura
To make the camera obscura (the original one was made in 900AD by Alhazan) we got a Black piece of sugar paper and made it into a box looking shape, and then we secured it with some tape, we then got another square piece of sugar paper and made it cover the gap we also put tracing paper over the other end, and we secured them both with tape as well, we made a hole in the black side of the paper, and looked through the side with the tracing paper with a magnet and measured it (mine was 6cm) we then got some more black sugar paper and measured it to our sizes, and secured the magnifying glass with tape as well.

Natsumi Hayashi
This photo was taken by Benji Reid recently, he is trying to get the illusion in the photo that he is floating with a blue smoke bomb, the times that the photos were taken would not affect the outcome of the photos because he took these photos underground, I like the fact that the blue smoke is covering his face because it gives the whole new feeling because he could be making any sort of facial expression in this photo so we don't know the mood of this photo. I chose to include this photo because it gives a good feeling to it because it's underground with no people around so it gives off a feeling of loneliness and aloneness.
Shutter speed
This photo of Nathan here was taken on the shutter speed of 1" (1 second) and because our photo was taken in front of a white background the photo was overexposed.
This photo was taken on 200/1 and you can see Nathan shaking his head.
Francesca Woodman
In my response to Francesca Woodman's work we recreated her work quite similarly we used our shutter speed at 1" second we recreated the photo of her jumping well and made them look similar in the jump but different in the background, on the other hand, we could improve our work by having less camera shake, we can do this by using a tri-pod next time.
Aperture
Aperture is the name of the hole in the camera lens. The aperture settings can be applied manually or automatically and will have an impact on the amount of focal range. For example, you can have a photo of two people, one in front of the other, and depending on the aperture it will determine whether they are both in focus or whether only one of them is in focus.
Rule of thirds
The Rule of Thirds is the process of dividing an image into nine parts, using two horizontal and two vertical lines and four intersection points. When you position the most important elements of your image on any of these lines, you produce a much more interesting picture. As seen in the photo above.
GIF's
In this task, I took 9 photos of Aleks to form a GIF we took them on a low shutter speed so that his head would be still in all the photos when we put them together, in this GIF I took a series of photos of Aleks looking straight, left, right, up and down. It creates a form of stop-motion infinite video.
This is work from Romain Laurent he has taken a lot of photos because it looks like a video that is repeating itself over and over again, my work compared to his nowhere near as good as his, for example, his one looks very clean whereas mine is a lot more stop and start.
