Artspace 30/30 Day 16 Rewild your work

How to address this hint other than deposit some of my old cyanotypes into the compost bin, though that is not a bad idea as they are made from natural materials. Instead I spent the morning in the Forest of Dean with a couple of camera club friends and @thewackyphotographer, who was showing us how to achieve some very abstract images using multiple exposures and custom white balance settings in our cameras. I realised that the area we were in is currently being returned to its natural state with trees having been felled and replanted and ponds and streams being introduced to encourage wildlife. This photo maybe isn’t as wacky as it might be and the colours certainly don’t look natural, but I think it fills the brief.

This technique is all done in camera other that a few tweaks with contrast post processing. It consists of 3 photographs, each taken with a custom white balance set to the extreme of a different colour. Lots of practice still needed, but I had an enjoyable morning.

Artquest 30/30 Day 14 ‘Domesticise your work’.

Another obscure hint, does it mean make something you can use for domestic purposes or the focus of your work should be something domestic? I have gone for the latter, the ironing.

I mentioned in an earlier post about an upcoming workshop on multiple exposure. Well on Thursday we had a short Zoom session with the tutor prior to the workshop, to make sure we could get out cameras set up in advance. This includes exploring multiple exposure settings but also creating different custom white balance settings. The idea being that we will learn to create weird and wonderful abstract images. Having really no idea what I was doing, but excited by the prospect, I decided to have a go with the ironing pile.

Maybe I should just wait and learn to do it properly 🤣🤣. Day 14 done though, I am now half way through.
