This image was taken by Charlie Adamko, Brophy E.

Charlie worked with a family friend at home to achieve this image for the Long Exposure Unit in our Year 10 photography class. To create the effect, some steel wool was set alight and then twirled around in a circular motion. Charlie shot this image whilst the steel wool was moving, on his Canon 200D. He set the ISO to 100 and the shutter speed to 8 seconds, which resulted in this stunning image that captures the movement beautifully.

Recently our Year 7 students were given the task of creating a rendered drawing of a piece of fruit, with a limited colour palette of two coloured pencils, red and green. This exercise allows students to create the illusion of tone and depth, using only complimentary colours instead of using black.

This technique neutralises and deepens the colour of the shadowing in the artwork, while keeping the colour of the fruit vibrant
