​Look at the work of Laszlo Moholy Nagy and how he abstracts a scene by removing the people form the bigger picture, adding shapes and lines. 

​Black and white or colour?

  • Busy vs quiet: Same place different time. Eg Trafalgar Square very early and later in the day.
  • Median Stacking:
    Median stacking is traditionally used to remove noise from pictures by stacking multiple versions of the same picture on top of it, allowing the noise to be cancelled by the median value of the pixels above and below it. This technique involves taking multiple pictures of the same place at the same angle/frame/focal length at different times. The images are then stacked in Photoshop and inconsistencies between the images like people or moving vehicles are removed as the medium pixel value between each image is chosen instead. 
  • Attempt median stacking from images taken in school (Walkway in south). Apply to photographs os a location in London.
  • Extend idea- to pairs of opposites (busy / quiet, night / day, looking up / looking down​)
Median Stacking

You need to be far more selective in your contact sheets. You should not include every image. 
Explore more complex compositions  and a shallow depth of field in the studio and in the natural environment.
Order skeletal leaves as back up. 
Experiment with photograms in Wed's lesson.

Take a series of images in nature ie walks in different location photograph the items in context and then collect the itesm to bring into school that can then be placed in the studio and photographed in a new abstract way in  the style of the white paper test. You could also take images and then cut them up to shine light through them to create a new abstract  form.
