Daguerreotypes were invented by Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre, and was discovered in 1839. A daguerreotype looks very detailed and sharp. It is made from a silvered copper plate that has a mirror-like surface, and is very fragile. The typical daguerreotype kit includes; a tripod, a box for treatment with mercury vapor, boxes for fuming with iodine and bromine, a soft buckskin pad for buffing the plates, and a box of unexposed silver copper plates.
Cyanotypes were invented by Sir John Hershel and introduced in 1842. The cyanotype process is made up of two solutions: potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium citrate are mixed with water separately. Then the two solutions are blended together in equal parts. Place the solutions on a blank canvas and dried in a dark room, then you rinse the image in water. Then the image will become a blue negative. Three brothers wanted to try this new climb called, The Great Oak. The three brothers name are Frank, Bill, and Stew. Frank was a more excited then the other two, but Bill cautiously started to climb the tree following his brother. Yet while Frank and Bill start to climb, Stew is still down on the ground unsure of this climb. Frank is almost to the top of the tree, Bill is right behind him, but Stew is still stuck near the bottom. Frank is becoming furious with Stew,; therefore, he starts arguing with him, and telling him "you shouldn't have agreed to come if you were going to be a big baby about it. Stew replied " Well what if you or Bill got hurt? Who would help you huh? Which is why I came so shut your stupid trap!" Frank then became silent. Yet a few moments later Frank asked Bill and Stew if they heard some rustling up near the top of the tree, but Bill and Stew both replied "no". Out of nowhere a loud bellow comes from the treetop. The three brothers look up and see a man towering over them in the branches. The strange man asks the three brothers who they are, and why are they in his tree. Frank yells up to the stranger, " This isn't your tree, and we're climbing so leave us be." The stranger, again, yells at them that this is his tree, and they need to leave immediately. In rage, Frank climbs higher to yell at the bafoon who keeps telling him and his brothers to leave. Frank: " I don't understand how this is YOUR tree?! The only thing my brothers and I want to do is climb the tree then we'll leave YOUR precious tree alone. The Stranger replies to frank with nothing but a loud laugh, this makes frank, Bill, and Stewy very nervous, and not knowing what to do. Then BAM! Bill and Stewy look up and they see their brother, Frank, falling to his death. Bill, obviously, wants to kill this "monkey man"; therefore, he climbs up to him and starts yelling at him: " You will pay for this!!!!" Meanwhile, Stewy is making a run for it; climbing down the tree as fast as he can, and believes Frank was getting what he asked for. Bill is fighting with the Stranger trying to avenge his brothers death, but the Stranger is winning immensely. The Stranger is yelling at Bill while still putting up a strong fight, " This is what you and your brother get for trying to climb MY tree. I told you you couldn't climb but you did it anyway, and this is the consequence." At this point all Bill could do now is curse at the man, and beg for mercy. Yet Bill knew begging for mercy was a long shot. Sadly, Bill could not avenge his brothers death, and ended up with the same fate as Frank. Stewy see's his brothers lying on the ground, dead. He screams out in agony and is completely guilt ridden and yelling a himself for being a coward. Stewy is too weak to pick up both of his brothers bodies, so he makes a run for it again attempting to get away from this psychopath. As Stewy contemplates on running for his life, the Stranger quietly climbs down the tree, and is standing right behind Stewy. The Stranger is creepily walking behind stewy, thinking to himself " The last one. After this one they're all going to be dead, and the tree will once again become my tree. No one else's" And in a moment, the Stranger pounces and the only thing you can her is Stewy's loud shriek.
These are photos from my aperture project in my photography class. Aperture is the camera lens letting a certain amount of light in, and this causes the image to blur out certain angles, or be crystal clear. For example, the aperture of the first picture is F/1.8. The picture is so focused in on the first box is because I made the lens smaller. The second picture is F16;therefore, making the lens very wide, which is why the picture is clear. For the last picture the aperture is F8, F8 is right in the middle of the two other examples. In F8 you can see some blurriness on the first box, but it's not too prominent.
The fundamentals of photography have changed over the course of time. It started out with tracing the shadows of people; which lead to drawing silhouettes of people. As one photographer said " silhouettes are the eyes to the soul". Photography is a series of inventions, such as camera obscura. Camera obscura is a dark room with one small hole, which makes the outside shine through the hole and show up on the opposing wall, but it shows up upside down and backwards.
