Bokeh is an effect I have learned that I really like. It's when you shoot an object, and all of the scenery in the background is out of focus, or blurry. How I achieved bokeh was by shooting very close to the object I was aiming for, which in the pictures I posted, was a flower. I learned that the closer you shoot, the more out of focus the background is. The background looks further away when you shoot the object of focus closer to your lens. You also want to make your background scenery farther away from the object you want to focus on. In one of my attempts, I made the mistake of not spreading the distance between my object of focus and background. I realized the problem and shot again, ensuring that I moved the background scenery away from the main (flower) of focus. I love bokeh now and will continue to shoot more cool objects with a blurry background!
I shot with my friends at homecoming. It was really nice out when I shot, though it got cloudy and rainy later in the day. My friends mom also shot on her camera. I'm not sure what kind of camera she had, but her pictures turned out really well. I learned that it's a lot of fun to shoot with my friends. You can just have fun and enjoy it without any pressure or awkwardness. I definitely need to set up another time to shoot with all my closest friends.
"Don't undertake a project unless it's manifestly important and nearly impossible" - Edwin Land, the founder of Polaroid and the inventor of the world’s first instant camera and film. The company The Impossible Project took on this challenge in 2008, when they purchased the last factory in the world manufacturing Polaroid instant film, creating "The Impossible Project". Their aim was to save 200 million Polaroid instant cameras from sitting in someones home collecting dust. Today, Impossible is no longer a ‘project’ but a fast-growing company with over 140 employees in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Britain, France, United States, and China. Its main focus are products like analog instant film, refurbished Polaroid cameras, and its own-designed range of analog instant cameras. Now, at its creative headquarters in Berlin, Impossible continues to re-design analog photography for the digital generation to hopefully take advantage of.
In March of 2010, after 17 months of research and development, Impossible proudly released its first monochrome films, in the form of PX 100 and PX 600 Silver Shade. With over 30 newly developed components, Impossible had then recreated the magic of instant photography. In July of 2013, Impossible develops its first app. After all, it has to keep up with the times, right? Intended as part of the operational system of the Instant Lab, the Impossible Project App for iOS ends up being a big hit to the community of instant photography lovers, with 15,000 people downloading it within the first few weeks. The App scans analog images, shares and adds them to Impossible's online gallery, and offers a mobile instant film and camera shop. |
