digitalna pinhole fotografija / digital pinhole photography

nedelja, 20. februar. perfektno mrzel in meglen dan za fotografsko eksperimentiranje. izdelovali smo pinhole objektive iz pločevink piva (vsekakor dobra promocija za laško).
1. korak: vzameš pločevinko in izrežeš zgornji del, da dobiš lep krog.
2. korak: notranjo stran pločevinke obložiš s črno lepenko ali jo prebarvaš s črnim markerjem (opozorilo: to je nujno zato, da ne pride do odsevov, ki se manifestirajo na zrcalo fotoaparata; pločevinka prebarvana z markerjem, bo še vedno malce odsevala)
3. korak: na dnu pločevinke točno v sredini napraviš z buciko luknjico (manjša je luknjica, bolj bodo fotografije izostrene)
4. korak: iz dslr fotoaparata vzameš objektiv in na njegovo pozicijo nastaviš pločevinko. pločevinko pritrdiš tako, da jo z izolirnim trakom prilepiš na fotoaparat. paziš, da so vse reže med pločevinko in fotoaparatom prelepljene.
5. korak: fotografirš.
dodatno:
-    pinhole objektiv mora biti obrnjen mimo sonca, drugače bo fotografija meglena
-    dober čas izpostave svetlobi je 5s na sončni svetlobi in 12s, ko je oblačno
-    izpostava svetlobi v notranjih prostorih je daljša, saj je notranja svetloba temnejša kot dnevna svetloba (sega vse od 10min do nekaj ur (dobra priložnost za skodelico čaja… ali več))
-    ne tresti fotoaparata (stojala so tukaj zelo zaželena)
-    če narediš dve luknjici, bo fotoaparat videl vse dvojno (predstavljaj si, da si pijan)

sunday, february 20th. perfectly chilly and misty for photographic experimenting. we were constructing pinhole lenses out of beer cans (by all means, a fair promotion for laško).
step 1: you take a can and cut out the upper part, obtaining a perfect circle
step 2: you put black cardboard on the inside “walls” of the can or color the inside with a black marker (tip: this is necessary, so that reflection from the can doesnt manifest itself onto the camera mirror, creating reflection; a can colored with a marker will still produce some reflection)
step 3: make a hole on the bottom side of the can right in the middle with a pin (the smaller the hole is, the sharper the photos will be)
step 4: take the lens of a dslr camera and place the can lens in its position. fasten the can lens onto the camera with isolation tape. you have to make sure, that all the openings between the camera and the lens are pasted over.
step 5: take photos.
-    the pinhole needs to face away from the sun, otherwise your photograph will be foggy
-    good exposure time would be 5s in sunlight and 12s when cloudy
-    indoor exposure time should be longer, because indoor lightning is darker then daylight (ranging anywhere from 10min to several hours (good opportunity for a cup of tea… or several))
-    dont shake the camera (tripods are much desired here)
-    if you make two holes, camera will see everything twice (imagine youre drunk)

pinhole fotografija / pinhole photography

danes smo izdelovali pinhole fotoaparate. pinhole fotoaparat je fotoaparat brez objektiva in z eno režo – je škatla, ki ne prepušča svetlobe in ima na eni od ploskev luknjo. svetloba prodira skuzi luknjo in na nasprotno ploskev projektira na glavo postavljeno sliko prizora. zaklopka se operira ročno. izpostavljanje svetlobi lahko traja od 5s pa vse tam do nekaj dni.

kako lahko napravite svoj pinhole fotoaparat, poglejte tukaj: matchboxpinhole

________________________________________________________________

today, we were building pihole cameras. a pinhole camera is a camera without a lens and a single aperture – basically a light-proof box with a hole on one side. light passes through the little hole and projects an upsidedown image of the scene on the opposite site of the box. the shutter is operated manually. exposure can range anywhere from 5s to days.

you can check here how to create your own pinhole camera: matchboxpinhole

poslanstvo / mission

Zadnje čase se veliko govori o poslanstvih.
Zato bom danes govorila o Skupinski fototerapiji, delavnici s poslanstvom.
Skupina je nastala kot odgovor na utrudljive in nezanimive fotografske tečaje in delavnice. Nihče ne želi v nedogled sedeti na neudobnem stolu in poslušati teoretičnega “bullshit-a”.
Teorija je samo orientacijsko orodje. Poudarek je na vajah, ki jih sestavljamo vsi udeleženi. Kolektivno delo ima prednost pred vodenjem posameznika.
Vsi imamo potrebo po ustvarjanju – vsaka ideja je enakovredna in se udejanji. Vsi smo radovedni – vsaka težnja po znanju se upošteva in skupaj najdemo odgovore na vprašanja.
Ne podpiramo sebičnosti, ne podpiramo egocentrizma, ne podpiramo politike individualnega vodenja.
Podpiramo mnenja vsakega posameznika, podpiramo prosto širjenje baze znanja, podpiramo drugačnost.
Ne ustvarjamo ovac iz ljudi.
Podpiramo tudi najbolj ekscentrične ideje.
Jebeš konformizem in jebeš “mainstream”.
Skupinska fototerapija je »terapija« za posameznike, ki se želijo izražati skozi fotografijo. Je terapija, ki ne pozdravi, ampak že obstoječe stanje podpre in ga evolvira do popolnosti.

There has been a lot of talk about missions lately.
Therefore, today I will talk about Group phototherapy, a workshop with a mission.
The group formed as a response to weary and trivial photographic courses and workshops. Nobody wants to sit in an uncomfortable chair infinitely and listen to theoretical bullshit.
Theory is just an orientational tool. Emphasis is on exercises, which are compounded by all participants. Collective work comes before the leadership of one person.
We all have a need to create – every idea is equivalent and becomes real. We are all curious – every tendency for knowledge is taken into account and together we find answers to our questions.
We do not support selfishness, we do not support egocentrism, we do not support the politics of individual leadership.
We support the opinion of each person, we support free expansion of knowledge base, we support difference.
We do not make sheep out of people.
We support even the most eccentric ideas.
Fuck conformism and fuck mainstream.
Group phototherapy is “therapy” for those individuals, who wish to express themselves through photography. It is a therapy that does not heal, but supports the already existent condition and evolves it to perfection.

bipolarna čustva / bipolar feelings

Včeraj smo združili vaje kompozicije s portreti. Udeležba in vzdušje – fenomenalno. Moram poudariti, da sem zelo zadovoljna s kreativnostjo in iznajdljivostjo udeležencev fototerapije!

Sedaj pa k domači nalogi:

• 1) izberite si 3 osebe
• 2) za vsako izbrano osebo si izberite eno od “pravil”, ki smo jih predelali na vajah v ponedeljek (tisti, ki datoteke s teorijo nimate, pišite na skupinskafototerapija@gmail.com, ter jo zahtevajte)
• 3) vsako izbrano osebo fotografirajte 2× – izražena čustva na fotografiji naj si bodo nasprotujoča
• 4) ne spajat fotografij v programih – hočem dve različni fotografiji vsakega portretiranca posebej – torej 6 različnih fotografij kot končni izdelek
• 5) cilj – bipolarnost čustev
• 6) nalogo mi pošljite na zgoraj že omenjen elektronski naslov do 22.11., 15:00

Naslednje srečanje je 22. novembra, ob 17.00 v dvorani Gustaf! Kava bo! Čaj mogoče tudi!

S spoštovanjem,

Imperator

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yesterday we combined composition exercise with portraits. Participation and atmosphere – remarkable. I have to emphasize that i am very satisfied with the creativity and inventiveness of phototherapy participants!

And now on to homework:

• 1) pick 3 people
• 2) for each person you pick, you also pick one of the “rules” which we studied during exercise on monday (those of you who dont have the theory file, write to skupinskafototerapija@gmail.com, and demand it)
• 3) take 2 photos of each person you picked – emotions on their face should be the opposite
• 4) do not join photos in software – i want two different photos of each person you portray – so 6 different photos as a final product
• 5) goal – bipolar emotions
• 6) send me the homework to the above mentioned email address till november 22nd, 3:00pm

Next meeting is on November 22nd, at 17.00 in Gustaf hall! Coffee will be! Maybe even tea! (fuck it rhymes)

Yours truly,

Emperor

naslednje srečanje

Hvala praznikom, prekomerni količini dela in mojemu nesposobnemu imunskemu sistemu za to neprijetno vrzel v srečevanju skupinske fototerapije. Ker vem, da vsi nestrpno pričakujete naslednje srečanje – ki bo 15.11.2010, ob 17.00, v dvorani Gustaf, Pekarna – vam sporočam tudi to: od 15. naprej se srečujemo redno v obvezni prisotnosti fotoaparatov. Brezkompromisno in brez izjem.

• 15.11. – vaje: kompozicija
• 22.11. – edukacija & vaje: portretna fotografija
• 29.11. – vaje: arhitekturna fotografija

Kmalu: nočna fotografija (ob 17.00 pade sonce – idealno), pokrajinska fotografija (po možnosti po prvem snežnem metežu), koncertna fotografija (ob prvem večjem koncertu v dvorani Gustaf) etc

Domača naloga: vsak si naj zamisli, kaj bi se pri fotografiranju najraje naučil. Misli delimo ob čaju in kavi 15.11. ob 17.00!

____________________________________________________

Thanks to the holidays, excessive amount of work and my inefficient immune system for this inconvenient group phototheraphy meetings gap.
