Project #8 Experimental Camera
Description
Painting with shapes and light
While looking and visualizing images and ligjt, different lenses interpret light differently. I wanted to play with ways you can paint yourself with different "brushes" and a little bit of light painting.
Design Process
The idea
- 1.Started by ideating on shapes and filters I can physically viaualize
- 2. narrowed down to pixel painting, dot painting and light painting
- 3. Hierarchy of viuals go further from the original image

Approach
- 1. Started off with a simple copy function coppying pixels and pasting them withing random potitions of the original capture
- 2. Used get pixel to get pixel colours and draw particled around the canvas from the capture
- 3.For light painting, used a similar particle funtion but added long triangles originating from a singular point to around the canvas
- 4. Used switch case and mouse pressed to switch between the filters

Reflection
There are so many ways we can manipulate a camera to produce different results, we can have an artistic vision of an image capture and produce unique versions of it everytime with the help of code. Some of the ideas I had in my head turned out very differently when I began to code for them producing pleasantly surprising results
