Meeting on April 14, 2019



Easter is drawing closer, and so does the end of this school year. In order to compensate for the material that we haven’t shown yet, today we presented the work of 4 great creators: Diane Arbus, Bill Brandt, Julia Margaret Cameron and Roy de Carava.
Afterwards, upon request by all the team members, we played the game which was well loved last week. It’s about time we reveal how it’s played: you stick on everybody’s back a sticker with a cartoon character. Then everyone tries to guess which character is on their back by asking others related questions, to which they can answer only by yes or no. Take a look at some pictures from the game:








After all that, we decided to take some shots with a neutral density ND filter. In these shots some “magic” effects are generated as you’ll notice in the following photos. Everyone is underneath the shed, yet they cannot be seen, unless they’re still!




In the triple photos above, those who are moving disappear but the building shows up as expected. For this to be possible we have to leave the shutter open for quite a few seconds, so that the moving figures won’t be recorded.






In this photograph we can notice that while it’s day time and there is a lot of light the picture looks like its shot at night. In order to achieve this we activated the flash and used a rather closed diaphragm.





Finally, we took another shot, without the ND filter applied this time. For us to accomplish the results you are seeing we used a relatively slow shutter speed and while the shutter was open we zoomed from a wide angle to a small telephoto lens. Take a look at the picture down below (We do need to experiment with this a little bit more don’t we?):
