Gum Bichromate

The gum bichromate depends on the reaction between dichromate salt mixed with a gum or gelatin. The gum becomes insoluble in water, and after exposure and development, retains the solid pigment particles, while the rest of the dichromate is washed away.

Some of the process is to:

1. Put pea-sized amount of pigment onto your plate and add 5cc of gum and mix together.
2. Add 5cc of saturated dichromate and mix.
3. Tape a piece of paper to a flat surface and mark off an area with pencil to add the negative to. Coat paper with lightly damp brush. 
4. Place in the dark for at least 4 minutes until dry.
5. Place the negative with emulsion side up on the paper. Tape down outside picture area and make two holes through margin of both the negative and the paper.
6. Develop in lukewarm water to wash away insoluble gum.
7. Dry in strong stream of warm air.
8. Recoat using more pigment and repeat steps 1-7.
9. Dry and fix in UV light for a short time. Wash for 6 hours.

Project #7 - Multiple Image Techniques

In this project, I took multiple images of the same place for HDR. For panorama and multiple exposure, I took images standing in the same spot. Then I merged the images in photoshop.

School Community Project - Perspective of Place

In this project we shot at the bus stop next to Lincoln on Salmon Street. We shot facing Lincoln because when people get off the bus they are also facing Lincoln so it would be more familiar to them. We kind of just put all the photos together and see'd what worked best.

Reflections of 1st Semester

In this semester, I have discovered Romain Venot. I like his photographs because he captures really good lighting and and he photographs a lot of caves which is cool. I've learned elements of photography like rule of thirds and leading lines. I have also learned about aperture and shutter speed. My favorite project was probably the research and emulation, because that time I actually used my digital camera, but for the next projects I will bring it to class. What I'm most interested to learn in second semester is surrealism and stop animation. I also really want to take pictures of nature.

Emulation and Final Edited Photo

In this project, I found a photo that interested me, and then took pictures that connected to that photograph. I chose one photo that I thought related best, then edited it and put it into photoshop next to the photo I was emulating.

Project #5 - Basic PS and Camera Controls

In this project, we took photos of shallow depth of field, deep depth of field, blurred motion, and frozen motion. Then we edited the photos in light room and put them into photoshop to make a before and after template.
