RONDOMNESS Randomness is the lack of pattern or predictability in events. A random sequence of events, symbols or steps has no order and does not follow an intelligible pattern or combination. Individual random events are by definition unpredictable, but in many cases the frequency of different outcomes over a large number of events (or "trials") is predictable. For example, when throwing two dice , the outcome of any particular roll is unpredictable, but a sum of 7 will occur twice as often as 4 In this view, randomness is a measure of uncertainty of an outcome, rather than haphazardness, and applies to concepts of chance, probability, and information entropy. Having no aim and purpose.

Move the Camera Every good photography course drums into it’s participants the importance of keeping your camera absolutely still while shooting to ensure fantastically sharp images. Of course sharp isn’t always what you’re after and one way to add motion into your shots is to experiment with moving your camera while shooting.

Zooming While Shooting Keep the camera still but to zoom in or out with your zoom lens while actually taking the shot. While panning (above) injects a vertical movement into shots – zooming gives your shots a dynamic 3D look and feel.

Creative Focusing Why not take your focusing problems and make them worse by some creative focussing where you don’t just get it slightly wrong – but make your shots obviously out of focus. This technique is especially effective when you either have a plain background which means nothing in your shot is in focus – or when there’s a secondary element of the image that you leave in focus with the main focal point out of focus enough for it to be obvious but in focus enough to still know what it is.

Shoot from your Boots Putting your camera on the ground and taking shots of your subject from that low angle introduces a completely new and often random point of view for your shots.

Slow Sync Flash This is a great technique for lower light shooting conditions where there is ambient light that you want to capture in addition to a subject that you’d like to light up with a flash.

Master the Bulb Setting The Bulb is great for capturing light trails (moving traffic at night, a friend drawing out a message with a torch or fireworks) but to get the most of it you’ll probably want to secure your camera with a tripod (unless you want to add camera movement into your shot as well).

Infrared Infrared photography is an art of it’s own (it deserves it’s own tutorial – as it’s something I’ve not done much of I’d be open to someone writing me one) and can create some amazing shots (black skies, white trees, dark eyes etc).

BEFORE AND AFTER

Installation using large images printed on semi transparent fabric, suspended by steel cables in a 3- dimensional space, back and front lighting, multiple heights and free standing. The passage of the viewer between the images will create a gentle wind motion and a soft sway of the prints.

 A rare system made for architectural photographers years ago by Hasselblad with the ability to swing, shit and tilt the front lens in order to correct extreme perspectives
