Dear Sheddists,the second session in our Photography Course focuses on customising white balance which, for the avoidance of doubt, has absolutely nothing to do with the latest deeply deplorable and offensive tweets from the President of the United States of America.
Instead, it's about making sure we get the correct interpretation of colour under conflicting and challenging light conditions. We're given instructions and sent out to take some photos and what better place to go than an artificially lit environment featuring porcelain white sculptures.
Students of conceptual art will be well acquainted with the work of Marcel Duchamp, and in particular his provocative and much lauded study, 'Fountain' which elevated the humble urinal to iconic status. What better then to follow a master, even if I risk incurring an appearance before the local judiciary and the imposition of a geriatric ASBO.
Behold the result - gleaming white and in all its natural glory!
The photographs below are far more sensible and feature some of my fellow students. And what a great bunch they all are!
Best regards,
