London Contact Sheets
Visited London Last night, took some night shot images with a small digital camera just to see what they would come out like. I intend to revisit london in evening over the next week and build on my collection on night photography. I will be using my digital slr and I will also be taking my tripod with me.

Digital Induction - 18th OCTOBER 2010.
Mick Finch, Shelley Rose, Andrew Watson
2D / Stage I
The Reprographic Project
Following the lecture for this project there will be a series of digital workshop group inductions that address the downloading of an image from a digital camera (or mobile phone) and its basic manipulation in photoshop in preparation for hard copy print out. This induction enables student access to the Charing Cross Road digital workshop for basic image manipulation.
The lecture provides contextual references toward making a series of photographic works located within the idea of the urbanscape. This project is a means to photographically investigate the dense urban space of central London. The aim here is to produce and output a series of digital photographs, as documentary and photo quality hard copy for the Work Presentation Forums at the end of the project. The images taken for this project should be thought of in three ways.
As digital files archived on a computer, external hard drive or memory stick.
Low cost documentary digital prints.
Photo quality digital prints.
This presentation should not be seen just as a point at which definitive, finished work is shown but where the product of a period of work and experimentation is recorded and discussed. The manner of presentation should be considered. For example documentary prints can presented in a file or be wall based depending upon which means serves best to convey the ideas under discussion. Similarly photo quality output should perhaps be thought of as wall based prints; to be encountered in the context of exhibition?
Three questions must be considered during the production of work for this project and addressed during the Work Presentation Forum.
1 In terms of qualities; what is the difference between a screen based and hard copy photographic image and between different scales of image (A5 to A4 to A3 etc.) and between documentary and photo quality hard copy output ?
2 How have questions of image and sequence, narrative, book or print influenced the production, presentation and the material support of the image ?
3 How does the resolution of the image effect its reading.
A later induction will be available for colour managed files necessary to output to Epson printers. For this project we would like you to experiment with a variety of outputs which can include rough black and white photocopy or C type prints. Documentary and photo quality printing can be outputted in a variety of places; through web services such as Photobox ( HYPERLINK "http://www.photobox.co.uk" http://www.photobox.co.uk ), the computer services in the CSM library at Southampton Row on the 6th floor (entrance on the 4th floor of Red Lion Square) and in the Learning Zone at Holborn.
Digital imaging will become an important part of your practice; possibly in terms of your principle, studio practice, as part of another practice or in terms of the documentation of your practice. Thus it is important to not only have a digital camera but to have at least a memory stick or preferably a portable USB hard drive.
Please bring your image file to the inductions on either CD, memory stick or a portable USB hard drive.

Urban Landscapes - What is it?
In some way describe a town or city
represents an attempt to understand our experience of the city
shows a dedication to the subject, expressed through a body of work rather than isolated images
concentrates on structures or processes rather than on people
may deal in either details or a broader view
Urban landscape may be in black and white or colour, subminiature camera or large format, using any process, although this site will restrict itself to still photography. Urban landscape is distinct from 'street photography', which looks at urban experience largely through a study of the people who live it, although the two genres may overlap. Urban landscape photographs often include people, but they are cleary situated and existing in the structures of the town or city.
http://www.urbanlandscape.org.uk/ul-what.htm
An urban area is characterized by higher population density and vast human features in comparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages and hamlets.
Urban areas are created and further developed by the process of urbanization. Measuring the extent of an urban area helps in analyzing population density and urban sprawl, and in determining urban and rural populations (Cubillas 2007).
