My Digital World Final Image Idea.

Idea

My final Idea for the my digital world project is to take an image of myself next to a computer which has digital written across the screen and next to that a globe which will look digitalized through photoshop, the image will litrally be saying "My (myself) Digital(monitor) World(globe)".

Research

This image is simerlar to what I may do for the globe in my photo showing coding which you find when you check a computers digital systems. I may also place this kind of coding in the background giving a more digital world feel, as if I am in the computer exploring the codes.

This is a quick example of what the computer monitor would say in my final photograph Im also thinking of possibly giving the monitor itself a neon outline giving it a more digital futuristic look. 

As for myself in this photo I am thinking about possibly giving my outline a neon glow and the other is to put computer coding on certain areas of my clothing for example my hat or jacket.

As for the background I would give it a digital tron like feel, the lines of the walls would be highlighted and given a bright neon colour to make it look like the inside of a program.

Josef Schulz & Thomas Ruff

Josef Schulz:

• Went to Dusseldorf Academy of art under Prof. Bernd Becher 1993-1999.
• Took photos of checkpoints and other small buildings simerlar to becher's water towers.
• His photos have a faded background effect.
• Photographs landscapes and buildings then removes the detail so only the structure remains.
• Graphic/Computer generated style images.
• Removes brand names and identifying features anywhere to be seen.

Thomas Ruff

• Liked pixelated images from the internet.
• Obscures 'ugly' parts of buildings and images which look clearer from a distance

Inspired Pixels

Today I looked at Thomas Ruff and Josef Schulz who both edited there photos digitally such as photoshop, The things they did were making structures  appear either isolated or making them look more digital. 

I took a shot at making a couple of my images as pixelated as possible although it was difficult to figure out at first, with some help I managed to get a couple of pixelated images.

The pixels in this image are very visable and appear to be going in a grid-like fashion.

This image when I zoomed in still clearly showed the pixels but it also seems to have lost its colour going into a black and white view.

Exploring Pixels

The second half of the lesson requiered us to take a some what in depth look at the pixels from one of the two photos we took. I chose the photo taken on the mobile because I thought the pixels would be much easier to see.

The pixels are visable in this image and can be seen breaking apart where the writing is.

The image has now been zoomed in on and croped again the pixels appear to brake apart around the wording.

Been this zoomed in its impossible to tell what this is, almost all the indavidual pixels are visable.

Bluetooth

The aim for the first half of this lesson was to take a couple of photos with a mobile phone and a digital camera. There was a issue with getting the photo from the mobile phone on to the computer although bluetooth claims to be easy and simple to use, but after todays complications I doubt it. The first problem was finding the right computer, there was around 4 or 5 mini macs all sharing the same name, after eventually finding the right computer there was the problem of uploading the picture from my phone to the computer which again proved to be rather frustraiting. After several failed attempts a friend and fellow photography student helped me out in getting my picture from the phone to the computer.

This photo was taken using the camera on my phone, the resolution is clearly not as great (when enlarged) as a digital camera but still has some detail to it. 

This photo was taken using a compact digital camera, the differences between the two photos is that the image overall looks slightly brighter, the words are more readable insted of been slightly blurred and due to more resolution/pixels the detail is improved.
