This week in class we will be learning two experimental photography techniques light painting and creating a grunge filter. Both assignments will be due a week from today on Tuesday next week. (I'm assigning 2 at the same time due to equipment and space constraints so that everyone can be working on one or the other)
Today I will first demonstrate how to use images of wrecked type, scratches. grime, grit, and coffee spills along with some advanced Photoshop tools to create a unique grunge filter. There are also so tutorials in the link above that you might want to try just be sure it is an original image that you are working with and not someone else's. It is also important to make sure you work with an image that would look good weathered so you might want to take one later today for use tomorrow (there are examples from students in previous classes above).
Light Painting
Today I'll demonstrate the basic techniques involved with light painting and then you can create your own either using our DSLR camera or one of the long exposure apps for the smart phones such as light bomber which also hosts regular contests and require that the image is nor Photoshoped making it crucial that you get the exposure and contrast right for the shot. The more complex your painting is the harder it is but the cooler it looks so if your up for the challenge go for it! Above is an example I did by signing my name in light, the trick is you need to learn how to sign it backwards if you are behind the light, tricky!
Here are the two examples from the demonstrations I did in class with Trent, Graham, and I of the two different projects.
