This photo was taken at my home in 2003 using a disposable camera. Society in that time was very different with not very much technology and innovations around. You can tell the quality of the photo was good for that time but compared to the quality 10 years later it isn't amazing at all. The photos on the disposable camera are normally taken to a shop to then be developed. This is very different to photos now as there are apps you can send photos from your phone to be printed and sent straight to your front door.

This photo is a group "selfie" - a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone and shared via social media. As technology is now very advanced, most photos are taken on smartphones with cameras of high quality and can be edited to look even better. Society is now very technology based for example"Selfies" are taken almost everyday by people and has taken over lives. Contrasting the two photos, you can see a big difference as just over 10 years ago people would take photos of others and the photos were not able to be edited or seen while being taken.

For these photos I used the shutter speed of 1/300. This meant that the subject's movement were portrayed. |
Here we took photos using a black and white film camera. We used different apertures and shutter speeds depending on the photo, a faster shutter speed for pictures such as jumping. The film camera uses the properties of light to produce an image on a piece of film, called a negative. Then, the negative goes through a chemical process to create the final picture. After developing the film, we decided to enlarge one, using the exposure technique. It was quite difficult to get the photo to be the best quality but I was happy with both the outcomes of the film and enlargement. Most of the film pictures came out very well, some were blurry due to using the wrong aperture. We exposed on photographic paper and left in the chemical developer. However you can see defects in the photo and tiny scratches which I would try to improve when doing this again.
