Justin Quinnell: Luman Pinholes

Justin Quinnell

Justin Quinnell is a master at making weird and wondrous pinhole images. He worked as the Pinhole consultant for the movie "The Brothers Bloom" and his cameras are featured in the film.  Justin realised his skill with pinhole photography when he was 4 years old and ended up having several operations of his eye and wearing an eye patch. It was after his degree, he was head of photography department at a non-too affluent area in Bristol. The pupils he taught couldn't afford buying digital high end cameras so they used several cans of coke and made cameras out of them. The thing about pin hole cameras that really fascinate Justin Quinnell is that there is no view finder and it clashes art and science together. He also likes the fact that its cheap, and its anti-commercial.

Pinhole Photography: Sir David Brewster

Image
Sir David Brewster Sir David Brewster was a Scottish physic, mathematician, astronomer, inventor, writer, historian of science and university principle. Born 11 December 1781 and passed away 10 February 1868. He was educated at University of Edinburgh where he studied double refraction by compression and discovered photo elastic effect. Sir David Brewster was the first pinhole photographer when he made his first pinhole in the 1850's. His first pinhole photograph was of a field where he experimented how a pinhole worked and from then created many photographs using the pinhole camera. The pinhole is a lens less camera in a tight-light box with a very fine round hole in one end and film or photographic paper in the other. Light passes through the hole; where the image is formed onto the film or photographic paper. The image-forming ability of a tiny hole is thought to have been known thousands of years ago. Pinhole cameras have infinite depth of field, everythin

Decay  Here is my decay video. I chose to capture a series of images showing ice melting. I took a series of 90 images to capture from the start where there are ice cubes to the end where there's nothing left to see. My video lasts a couple of minutes, which shows me experimenting with decay. One thing I would improve on this video is the camea angles, I did'nt use a tri-pod, which meant some images were at different angles, this can effect my video becuase the constant camera movment doesnt give my GIF the professional look/effect to it. However for my first attempt at this I feel my GIF is successful becuase it clearly shows the idea I was creating of melting ice and clearly shows the stages of ice melting. The only thing I would change about my GIF is I would of used a tri-pod to keep little camera movements as possible meaning my GIF looking more effective. Narrative Sequence Above is my final Narrative Sequence. The story I am tryi

After Effects

After Effects  Above is my attempt of creating an after effect. I feel my attempt is successful, if I was to improve my work i would repeat the process a few more times. The first step we were given a photo that we imported into After Effects. The next step was then separating layers and made layers for each part of the photo. The plane, The shard and The sky. We then moved it the sky layer slightly to make it seem as if the sky was moving along with the plane, which I loved diagonally across the page. I had to make sure I had traced around the plane correctly otherwise you would see parts of the background around the plane meaning my after effect wouldn't look realistic as it passes past the shard. The final edits I made was creating the sky looking warmer creating it to have more vivid colours. One thing I found hard when creating my after effects was judging how fast and far everything should move so it didn't look unrealistic. Overall other than that I found creating
