Double Exposure

I have chosen these images and this technique because I like the way you can overlap different images and blend them together to create an interesting and visually eye catching end piece. I also like this technique because you can use a layer as a framing device and put the second image inside the frame. E.G. the hand image with the trees/forest inside them. You could also photograph someone's shadow or silhouette and then cut it out and use it as the framing device so that you have a photograph inside the person’s body/head shape.

LIGHT WRITING/DRAWING

I have chosen these images and this technique because I like the way you can leave the camera shutter open for a set time period and can trail a torch/laser light across the frame and it will remember it, producing an artistic and interesting looking image. I like how the background stays dark so that the light stands out and you have nothing in the background. To produce this style of photograph you would need a solid dark room or to be outside at nighttime with no street lamps or car headlights present unless you want to see the subject/person moving the light source in the background. You would need a solid surface or tripod to place the camera on due to the shutter being open for an extended period of time. Not using something to support your camera would result in camera shake and your image not being sharp and clear, losing quality to the light trail you produced.

Motion Blur/Movement

This technique/style interests me because you can get interesting and eye catching turn outs but at the same time you will never known exactly how the final image is going to look. This photography technique maintains a clear and crisp background whilst the movement of the vehicles or people appears as lines of softness or colour. I like the vehicles movement better than the people movement as it adds more colour to the image and also because they move faster which creates crisp lines of colour throughout the image whereas the people moving/walking can look a little bit dull and as though you didn’t want it to happen.
