the time project

This page is under construction
The Time project requires you to observe how the camera translates time and respond to it. Consider the impact that photography has had on our understanding of the world by capturing things that move too quickly or too slowly for the naked eye. Consider how time is encapsulated through the use of photography. This is a conceptually driven project that can be aided by the following technical considerations:

Shutter Speed/Movement/Panning - your shutter controls the amount of movement within the frame. Try a variety of shutter speeds to make the effect created enhances the idea or mood you wish to create. To pan, follow the moving subject with shutter speeds varying between 1/8th to 60th of a second.

Long exposures for moving subjects - Long exposures may be used to collect traces of the subjects as they move in and out of frame. The longer the exposure, the less obvious the traces are with the exception of strong light sources e.g. headlights

Multiple exposures - are numerous images recorded on the same frame. If you are using manual settings for a two-frame under-expose each frame by one stop. For a four-frame multiple exposure under expose each frame by two stops. This is a guide only - record your results and adjust exposures accordingly.

Sequencing - Your shots may be used to document a changing situation, blow by blow. Your contact sheet reads like a storyboard.

Night Photography - Be careful not to overexpose night scenes because of the predominant darkness in frame. Bracket towards underexposure or meter precisely the subject.

Movement at Night - At night, moving subjects such as people walking will not register as long as there is very little shining on them. Cars are a good example of using this technique. With long exposures and moving cars, the headlights and tail-lights will register as streaks. Cars themselves will not register.

Flash can be used to illuminate certain elements during long exposures. The flash can also be used in multiple places and multiple times by moving about quickly in frame during exposure (wear dark clothing).

essential questions

How can you produce a series of photographs that deal with time?
  • Can the images be seperate or a sequence, can they tell a story (visual narrative) or deal with the concept of time in a random way?

​IN OTHER WORDS
​
  • How will you reveal a world to the viewers that was unseen before photography was invented?
