My Sequential Photography: Silence

 In my previous posts, I told about sequential photography and how to make it by yourself. Also, I showed my collaboration with Roxy. In this post I would like to tell you how I did it by myself with the help of photocamera and applications like Photoshop and Lightroom. 

The first thing I did was work on the composition in the frame. To make a suitable background, I took my sheet and hung it on my closet by attaching the ends of the fabric behind the handles of the closet with my hair bands. I also brought my portable easel, brushes, paints and paint palette. Since I don’t have a tripod, I put a table in front of me then I put a lot of books on it to get the right angle. 

My next step was to set up the camera. All the photos you’ll see below were taken by Photocamera Canon EOS 600D. I set the aperture to 5.0 to start with, the ISO to 1600. Since I had a pretty bright natural light source, I didn’t use any extra lighting.

My Settings on the camera

When all the photos were taken, I deleted everything that didn’t fit my idea. Then I uploaded all the remaining photos to my computer and started processing. Because I didn’t want to paint my sheet, my first job was to get fingerprints all over the photos. To do this, I took a photo in PNG format and uploaded it to Photoshop. 

Fingerprints Photo

Then I decided to make a brush out of this print, which helped me in the ease of use in the future. In order to make the photo above the brush, I opened ''Edit-Define Brush Preset''.

Press ''ok''

When I added a new brush, I moved on to the next step, editing this brush. When I added a new brush, I moved on to the next step, editing this brush. I changed the angle of the brush, and I also increased the distance between the prints to 188%. 

Brush Settings

When I set up my new brush, I went straight to adding prints to the photograph.

I didn’t like my photos to be colored, so I opened Lightroom and started editing my photos and customizing the color manually.

When I got the results I saved all the photos to my computer.
My last action for the end result was ''Contact Sheet2'' creating.  To do this, I opened Photoshop again. I opened ''File-Automize-Contact Sheet 2''. I uploaded all the ready-made versions of my photos and got what you see below.
I really liked the result. So I’ll share it with you in the next post.

    Good attempt at sequential photography and explanation of how you created the series. How did you use Duane's ideas in your own work? How did you find the process?

Software testing: Flipping Book

 In this and subsequent posts, I would like to test the platforms that would help me create my journal article. In this particular post, I’m going to take a visual example of how I used the Flipping Book . Also at the end, I will share my impressions about this software.  First of all, I opened Flipping Book website and signed up with my google account.  After I registered, a pop-up window asked me to upload my material. Since I already had my project ready I pushed the button 'Download PDF'.  In less than 30 seconds, my project looked like a magazine(see below). After my project was fully loaded, I started editing. The first thing I wanted to do was change the background from gray to something brighter. To do this, I pressed the Skin button and chose the picture I liked from those you can see below. I chose the picture, which is called the School Board, but it was too bright, so I decided to correct this moment so that the reader was not distracted by things he did not need. T
