Photo published in Left Lion
Jun 1st
If you live in Nott’s be sure to pick up a copy of this months issue of Left Lion. The photo I took of market square a couple of weeks ago is featured on Page 5. I was surprised to read that they have a estimated readership of 40,000 people! needless to say I’m super happy about this.
I’ve also been putting together the degree show DVD which proved to be super difficult due to the large number of links needing to be created and many other annoying factors.. More info on that soon.
24 Hour Time-Lapse Project
May 18th
Making a 24 hour time lapse is something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time now and I’ve finally done it! getting the camera set up right proved to be the hardest part. But now I know how its done I can improve the technique for next time!
So here it is..
If you click the Vimeo link below you can view it in HD… its worth it

So I set up the camera in my window facing west to capture the sun set (also away from any neighbours windows…) I put the camera to aperture priority mode and set the aperture to F4. When in this mode the camera will automatically take light readings and adjust the shutter speed so the scene is always lit correctly…ish.
I first set it off taking a photo every 24 seconds but realised that’s over 3000 frames in 24 hours! So I then set it to 1 frame every minute. I started the time lapse at 11pm and because it was shooting from a window I had to make sure I didn’t turn the lights on in my room to avoid reflections. Ideally it would be best to shoot it out side. I think next time I will shoot every 30 seconds that way the video will be a bit smoother.
Here’s some of the best stills.. I find it amazing how much the environment changes in a relatively short period of time!
Now that I have mastered the technique I can take the camera to some cool places.. One place I would like to take on is the top of our Uni building which is one of the highest buildings in Nottingham, views from up there would be incredible!
Catalogue and Web Images
Apr 21st
I spent yesterday going through my work to find the images that will be on the Degree show website. I also created the final image that will be printed in the catalogue.
Below are the three images I created. I first made the middle one but wasn’t entirely happy so I tried moving the middle two images so they are above each other (the right image).But I wasn’t happy with this either so I tried a far left design. I’m still not sure which one to go for? but I think the left design works the best.. what do you think?

Artefact Four
Apr 19th
So its been a while since I completed Artefact three, been busy completing the client project then the ski trip and lots of other things that have been going on. However its now done! I still feel I could add some more to it but I am quickly running out of time so something is better than nothing at the moment!
This time round I looked at HDR (High Dynamic Range) Images and how they are used to make a 3D scene much more realistic.
Here’s the completed video..

Here’s a high res still from the video. I’ve added a slight depth of field to the shot too.
