Filter lens analysis

Filter lens analysis 1 

This picture was a test picture. I was testing to see how to blur the filters and focus on the background. I took this picture as a test but when I saw it, it was amazing. The filters fit into the picture, the two filters goes well together and it easy to see the different with or without filters.

Development  

The picture at the bottom is the edited version. What I did to make the picture stand out was increase the brightness and the contrast so that you can see the sky and the clouds perfectly, played around with the levels to see which is the best fit, making the colour brighter using the vibrancy and the curves and for the finish touch, I played around with the colours to see if I could make it more better and to control the brighter colour because too much bright colour can destroy the picture.

During the trip, I did some experiment with the filters.

 What I did was place a filter right in front of the lens to see if the filter makes the picture better. The other experiment I did was holding one filter in front to see if the filter fits in the picture well and to see if the filter makes the picture better. I did this so that when I hold the two filters in front of the camera, I know that these two filters makes the picture better. You can see the filter test picture on the next page and you can see the other filter test on the previous slide.

  

The picture is taken around 7 o'clock sunset. I used a tripod to hold my camera and steady my camera so that I could you one hand to hold the filters and the other hand to focus the camera. The two filter in the picture are ND2 and 4. These two filters were chosen to be in front of the camera because these two filters make the picture better and they are the right brightness.

What went well in this picture is that I have used Brian's idea in this in this picture. This shows that I have understood Brian’s idea.

EBI: try to take the same picture without the other side of the building showing. 

Filter lens analysis 2

This picture is though my window. I woke up around 6 sunrise so that I could take a picture of the city with the sunrise. I use a ND4 filter in this picture. The filter is placed on the side of the camera because I want the viewers to see the difference between the filter and without the filter. With the filter, the sunrise colour really stand out and makes the coloured seen. Without the filter, the sky are too bright and the cloud can’t be seen because the sky's too bright.

I use the sunrise to lighten the building up. With the filter is much more effective than without.

What I did to make this picture much better is increase the brightness and contrast and also played around with the levels. This makes the picture much more effective because it  make the colours of the sunrise stand out and brighter. It make the building unseen and the cloud is seen well.

To make this picture much more better I could place the filter in the middle of the picture to make it interesting. What is good about this picture is that it stand out and the filter is inside the picture and it make the picture looks goo. So I have used Rich McCor idea in my picture which is what I wanted. I used a tripod to hold my camera so that I could focus my camera and hold the filter. During the weekends and school days, I have been experimenting with different filter holds to see which one is effective and which one make the picture look better. The filters are ND2,3,4,6 and 8. 

Filter lens 3 analysis

This picture is base on the filter lens idea which came from Brian Carey. This picture is taken in Singapore by me during the holidays. The building is the artscience museum which is one of the famous buildings in Singapore.the idea that I am trying to achieve in this picture was placing a filter in front of the building so that it would look like the building is in the filter. Also I wanted to make the building standout by decreasing the brightness using the filter so that the outside is bright and what's though the filter is little bit dim and that the building looks odd. I use the bright sun to brighten the place so that the picture will standout. I have been trying different filter hold to see which filter hold is the best and effective. 

This hold that I use in the picture wasn't the effective one but it did made this picture look amazing and really made it standout. The most effective one was the hold that I use for the picture at the bottom. It is effective because it doesn't block the background and the place. The picture at the top has one of the worse hold because it's blocking the background and it's blocking the Marina Bay Sands which was the best building in singapore.

WWW: I have used Brian Carey idea in my pictures. I have also found the most effective hold. I have taking a picture that has good quality and it really stands out.

EBI: Try to use an effective filter hold in a picture.

      

  

The Merlion analysis

The picture you are looking at is the best filter lens picture for this coursework. This picture is my best filter picture because it has the right brightness which expose the clouds, lots of colour that is standing out, thanks to the sun. I use the sun to brighten up my picture.

Development 

What I did to make it better was increase the brightness so that the colours will stand out and he clouds, played around with the levels to see which is the best fit and I increase the vibrancy to increase the brightness of the colours. This picture is taken around 3 o'clock. Around that time is very sunny and bright so it's good for taking pictures. The background is focus and the lens is blurry because I want to focus on the background so that you cans see through the filter and see the difference.

    

 The filter that I use was the ND4 because it fits with the picture and it make the picture better. The colour that really stand out more has to be the blue. I use the stand to hold my camera so that I could use one hand to hold the filter and the other hand to focus the camera.

What went well with this picture is that it has Brian’s idea used in this picture and I have made it better and nicer.

EBI: Try to use two filters in this pictures.    

Photographers

Andrius Aleksandravičius

The idea was to travel around Spain while capturing the most spectacular

 buildings and objects through the glass ball. He was very pleased when Nikon noticed my work and decided to take a look at his “Glass Ball Project”. Nikon decided to have a advert with him inside it. The first place he went to was Seville. 

Rich McCor

Rich McCor is 28 year old. Rich is a excellent photography. He uses cut up pictures he drawled and place it in front of cameras. All of his pictures have a cut up picture in front of places that connects or match and pictures that is related to the place. 

The best picture that he took was a picture of a watch and big ben at the back ground. The idea was to use the middle clock tower as the watch face which was a brilliant idea. Another picture that he took was London eye as the wheel of the bicycle which was also a brilliant idea. 

All of his picture relate, connects and its relevance to the background and place.  Most of his picture is base on the great Britain. He went to Holland, London mostly, Covent Hill, south bank, Stockholm and lots more places. He’s the first person who came out with this idea.

My favourite picture that he has take has to be the Big ban because I like the idea of this picture. the idea of using Big ben clock as the watch. 

He has 128k followers in Instagram so he’s quite famous and popular.
           

Bryan Carey

You must be wondering who is Brian Carey. Well there is very little information about him. He doesn’t like to post personal information like when he is born and how old he is. The only personal information that he could share with the world is that his name is Brian Carey.

 He has lots of different of pictures of places. He doesn’t take only pictures of places, he takes picture of people. All of his picture have bright colours that makes his pictures standout.  The idea that fascinate me was the filter picture because it is a very different ideas to all of his picture. All of his pictures is just taken normally and edited well. 

He travel to lots of public place and nature places. Love to take picture of nature scenery and lots of other landmarks. He has some picture of wedding and people. He has a project base on people, weddings and beach site. For my ideas, I chose the filter idea because I know that it will get me a good grade and it's easy to create. 

Also the idea is very creative and it's a amazing and different idea.  Brian Carey does this for living. basically this is his business and job. He sells pictures to other people and you can hire him to take pictures for you. He is famous in Instagram and other social network. This is the only picture that I am going to use it idea and try to use it in a city or towns instead of beaches because if i did use this skill on the beach it will be copying.
