Y camera 5x4 The 5x4 camera

 Y CAMERA 5X4 



THE 5X4 CAMERA. 


Mae fy ngwaith eleni wedi cael ei selio ar ffotograffwyr oes Fictoria a dechrau y cyfnod mewn hanes ffotograffiaeth gyda fy mhrif ffotograffwyr ar dref Llandudno.


Ar ol hi aros rhwng cofid-19 ac problemau eraill or diwedd wedi cael benthyg y camera gan y coleg . Mi nes i ddarganfod fod y tripod oedd gynof yn rhy simsan ir camera ac felly angen prynnu tripod arall. Gyda prisiau tripods i fy ngwaith yn dechrau o £150 doeddwn ddim yn edrych ymlaen i brynnu ond ar ol wythnos yma ar ol hir ymaros bellach wedi cael fy cyllid coleg mi es am dro i siop ffotograffiaeth Cambria yn Bae Colwyn a gyda diolch mawr yn llwyddianus i gael tripod newydd ail law am £20, felly o hyn ymlaen gallu tynnu y lluniau dwi wedi bod eisiau eu cymeryd ers misoedd. 



My work this year ar based on photographers of the Victorian era, and the early history of photography with my main theme the photographers of the town Llandudno. 


After a long wait between covid-19 and other issues finally borrowed the 5x4 camera from college. I discovered the tripod I had was a little wonky to say the least and top heavy for the camera therefore needed another tripod. With tripods for the camera I'm going to use starting from around £150 I wasn't' looking forward to pay out that amount of money. Finally after a long wait my student finance sorted i paid a visit 4th December 2020 to Cambria photography in Colwyn Bay to see what they had. I was thrilled to buy a second hand tripod for £20. I can now go out taking the images I have wanted to for the last few months.

  DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY OR PICTORIAL  A  QUESTIONNAIR.  Due to needing to create a questionnaire/survey for my contextual studies BA Photography course work module at Llandrillo college, an impossible task face to face due to covid-19 I came up with the idea of sending an appeal to the LLANDUDNO IN OLD PHOTOGRAPHS for any willing participants. With a good response this is my selection of questions . All replies to be made per comment section , this way I will be able to copy and paste my results and analysis for the module as a word document. Thanks you in advance those of you willing to participate.  My theme is the work of Victorian photographers in Llandudno. My work based on the work of Thomas Edge, La Roche photo studio, Francis Frith and Francis Bedford and Alvin Langdon Coburn ( American photographer who lived in Rhos On Sea for his final 18 years) The images taken during the 19th C era was pictorialism and my final images and theme recreating the same imag...

The interview below.  Interview by Mair Thomas with Jade Vickers: Sunday 18th of October    When did your interest in photography start?    I started college when I was fifteen years old and I studied art and design, so I would say I have always been quite the creative person, I enjoyed my years in college a lot. After college I worked for a few years and my creativity became less and less, I would do the odd drawing or painting at home but I started to forget how much I enjoyed it as I was always so busy and then around five years ago, I received a Canon Rebel XS camera as a present. It made me so happy, I started to notice the things around me, the shapes in the trees, the patterns on the wall, the mountains near where I live...

On both sides of the family my dad’s brother when I was a little girl always seemed to have a camera with him when he came up from London and my mum’s brother the same .
