This document discusses experimental photography techniques using multiple exposures. It includes examples of photos taken of landmarks like Big Ben and Buckingham Palace where multiple images are overlaid to create layered effects. In the photos, the layers become darker and more blurred the more images that are overlapped. Adjusting the camera angle for each shot and using different exposure settings results in interesting color variations between the layers. The document evaluates how well the photos fulfill the goal of being experimental and matching the assigned theme of multiple exposures.

3. You can see each photograph, where it starts and finishes.
The more layers there are over the top the darker the
layer is and the less ghost like it is.
The angle of this picture is quite odd as you feel as you’re floating
to see this picture. The main feature isn’t, the clock tower, isn't in
the middle of the picture which makes this quite unusual. But it
still works.
I like the way you can see the layers
and where there is one or two
layers it looks ghost like and the
statuses make this look mysterious.

Experiment with the Final Image.

5. Evaluate: ideas eg analysis, results;
How well do you feel you have realised your ideas and intentions and what results have
you got? Ensure you talk critically (compare, contrast, assess) about your work. You
should reference your influences and assess how your work compares.
Qualities:
Consider the aesthetic qualities of your work. How does it look? What do you like about
it? What are the strongest and weakest elements from an aesthetic point of view?
5
Consider the technical qualities of your work? How well done is it? What elements are
strongest and which could need further work and development? Be sure to use
technical terms in your work such as exposure, shutter speed, aperture and talk
specifically about any post-production techniques you have used.

6. How could you improve your work? Could you develop your work further with
additional work? What would you try to achieve with this? Could you undertake further
experiments? If so, what would they be?
When talking about your work, consider formal elements such as lines, shapes and
patterns as well as the colour and contrast and also tone of your image. Think about the
composition of your work and where this could be developed.

Finally you should consider if the images you have produced fulfil the brief you were
set. Do they match the theme? Are they experimental? Explain your answers using
specific examples.

7. Wide Multiple Exposure

8. This final picture
is made up of
three different
images all
featuring big
ben and part of
the houses of
parliament. It
makes this
landscape look
more interesting
and the further
to the left you
go the clearer
the picture goes
and it is like you
a seeing
beneath the
whole picture.
Again you can see the layers that make up the picture, rather than cropping
them out, I left them in to create a building up the layers look. To me it also
looks like the blue prints of what the building will look like before it is made.
But because it is a well known building it sort of contradicts itself.
The angle is interesting and instead of just
featuring one building, a landscape photograph in
this style is still very effective.

12. Wide Multiple Exposure

13. The more layers there are the darker the colours get and but
the more blurred the features on Buckingham Palace get. It
sort of looks like you cant see the middle of the image as well
as the outsides .
Each picture
has been taken
at a slight
angle,
therefore some
parts of the
building don’t
join up as well
but this just
adds to the
effect of
showing the
layers that
make the
whole picture.
It is sort of like
a joiner effect
but using
double
exposures too.
I used the auto setting on my camera when I
took each picture and this has made a few
pictures look brighter than others and when
exposed together they create a different colour
for example the sky is a different colour in some
parts.
