Cyanotypes and Infrared

What infrared photos give you:
Normally infrared picture are directed towards the landscape and are easy to distinguish from
the rest as they more often than not will have major color shifts and high contrasts. As for black and white
pictures it gives you dark skies and white foliage.
What is infrared:
Infrared film is sensitive to visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and infrared radiation, which helps to visually
show the heat emitted from the subject. Infrared photos process infrared radiation reflected off the
subject from a light source. The light source can be from the sun, natural light or artificial light. There are
many different types of infrared film which have various sensitivities to ultraviolet and infrared radiation
as well as visible light, which all help to determine how the picture will turn out. Infrared pictures are used
to portray emotion, drama, and mystery in a dream like or surreal setting. Infrared film is very sensitive
to light and must be loaded and unloaded in total darkness. Furthermore, the undeveloped film
should be stored at around 55 Fo so you might want to store it in your refrigerator.

Cyanotypes:
 the cyanotype solution is made up of two simple solutions :
25 grams (0.88 oz) Ferric ammonium citrate (green) and 100 ml. water.
and
10 grams (0.35 oz) Potassium ferricyanide and 100 ml. water.
Next dissolve the chemicals in water and make two separate solutions. Then, using a brush paint the chemicals onto the material. Keep away from too much light, and place your negative while sandwiching it between glass. Finally expose to UV light, rinse and dry your photo.

Project09 Surrealism and Photomontage

Image
In this image i just took a bunch of different weird things and cut them and then placed them around the background image. This image shows surrealism because there are cars riding on a lamp-post, there is a huge eye in the sky, a big face behind the mountain and a person sitting on top of a building.  Furthermore, the cars are the smallest thing in the image which is unrealistic as they are normally bigger than people, eyes, and faces. In this image I chose to put a tidy that I made to make the sky look abnormal and then I put a fish in the sky to add even more weirdness to the picture. This is surrealism because the sky is not actually like that and also because fish don't fly.
