Kaleidoscope

Image
When creating a kaleidoscope you just need one image and then you take it into Photoshop or an editing software. Then you edit the photo to how you want it to as you would normally, changing exposure, contrast saturation, what ever you feel you need to change to make the image better. When the image is fully open, go to Image-Resize-Canvas size and then change the size values to percent and then change the values to 200. Once you have done that you can then start to make the kaleidoscope image and actually see how it might start to come out. Start now with moving the image to one of the corners of the image (where you feel it will have the best effect). Now duplicate the image and flip it horizontally (Image-Rotate-Flip layer horizontally) then move the image above or below the original image. After you have done that you can then duplicate the original again and flip the new duplicate but vertically (Image-Rotate-Flip layer vertically) and then move it to the side of the original

Cloning

Image
Cloning is where you place a tripod down with a camera on down pointing at an area with a good backdrop. Once that is done you place your subject or ask your subject to stay in a position to then take a photo of them, get them to change where they are and then take another shot. Repeat that last process so that you can then have multiple different positions to then stitch together later in Photoshop. Note that when you are taking the images you want to have the settings on manual as then the shutter speed, ISO and focus are the same in each image as then the image will be easier to stitch together.

Long exposure

Image
Long Exposure photos are taken with a slow shutter speed and normally with some motion in the image as well to add a blur of the subject or subjects, creating a cool looking effect. The images that are below I took in Hastings where there was crowds of people due to an event happening that night. I set my tripod up at the side of the road and pointed it across to the other side of the road. Then I lowered the aperture to allow less light in so I could have the shutter speed as slow as possible

Pinhole/Camera-less Photography

Image
Pinhole cameras (aka Camera-less photography) doesn't use a camera at all, but uses a light tight box with a single sheet of light sensitive paper held inside on a side that is opposite to a small opening that has a flap covering it to not always be allowing the light into it and ruining the paper inside. When you want to take an image of something you have to make sure that the box is as still as possible, preferably on a solid floor or object so that it wont move at all other wise the image wont come out clear, it will come out blurred. Then you need to estimate how long you will expose the paper to the light for, if there is a lot of light and the sun is out then you need a shorter time, like 15 seconds, but if there is not as much light then you need to do it for a longer time like 45 seconds or even more depending on the amount of light. Once you have exposed the paper to the light you need to take the box to the dark room and then develop that image to then see the negati
