My Photograms/Rayographs
Photogram 1This is my first ever photogram in my opinion it went well. Most of the objects I have used you can see them very well, but there is some object which are not quit as clear to give it that abstract look for example; the objected on the bottom left corner its gets you thinking what could it be ? The different shades of grey and light black tells you what sort of colour it is with out the effect ( if it is a dark or light colour ). |
Photogram 2This photograms very similar to my first one but not as interesting or existing as the objects are perfectly clear and can not think and guess what any of these objects are.There is not many tones and shads to this second photogram. The bad thing about photogram is when the the light hits the surface you can not move the objects as it only task about 10seconds to reacted. I was hoping for a more interesting unusual look but I didn't get one maybe next time.

Next time...
I hope to crate a more interesting abstracted look to the photo also use less obvious objects to give it more character, also experiment with more things which people have not done before to make it unique. To make it more personal to me I mite use personal objects or try an make a picture with the objects I am using.
