These are the test strips that I processed in the dark room.

dark room work LO2

Dark Room experimentation 

These are some examples of my dark room shutter speed photographs. I used an Iphone camera light to draw patterns in the air while the shutter speed was running.

Photoshop editing LO2

This is an example of me using the color pallete tool in Photoshop 

Still Life photography LO2

In this photograph i show some dying flowers, this is in contrast to my next images which show live and vibrant flowers (this can be a connotation to life and death)

with this image i show the view from the top of a staircase, this could be interpreted as vertigo and gives the audience a sense of falling forward.

• Protecting persons, other than persons at work, against risks to health or safety arising out of or in connection with the activities of persons at work;
• Controlling the keeping and use of explosive or highly flammable or otherwise dangerous substances, and generally preventing the unlawful acquisition, possession and use of such substances.

2.       What are the duties of employers towards substances used at work?

The duties employers have towards substances at work include:

• Ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the substance will be safe and without risks to health at all times when it is being used, handled, processed, stored or transported by a person at work or in work premises;
• Perform such testing and examination as may be necessary to ensure safety;
• Take such steps as are necessary to secure that persons supplied with the substance are provided with adequate information about the any risks to health or safety to which the inherent properties of the substance may give rise, about the results of any relevant tests which have been carried out on or in connection with the substance and about any conditions necessary to ensure that the substance will be safe and without risks to health at all such times.
• Take such steps as are necessary to secure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that persons are provided with all such revisions of information as are necessary by reason of its becoming known that anything gives rise to a serious risk to health or safety.

3.       What are the objectives of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations

COSHH is the law that requires employers to control substances that are hazardous to health. You can prevent or reduce workers exposure to hazardous substances by:

·         finding out what the health hazards are;

·         deciding how to prevent harm to health;

·         providing control measures to reduce harm to health;

·         making sure they are used ;

·         keeping all control measures in good working order;

·         providing information, instruction and training for employees and others;

·         providing monitoring and health surveillance in appropriate cases;

·         planning for emergencies

4.       What industries does the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations cover?

The industries that COSHH cover include:

·         Agriculture^[1]
e.g. dusts, chemicals, diseases, toxic gases.

·         Baking^[2]
e.g. dusts, enzymes, flavour concentrates, cleaning products.

6.       What advice does COSHH give to protect yourself when working with hazardous materials?

COSHH Advice against hazardous materials include, explaining which materials can be harmful and why, what kind of damage the materials can inflict upon people and how people can become exposed to them and in what conditions. They also give suggestions on how to avoid and to get rid of a hazardous disease that could be caught from these materials.

7.       What are the aims of the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992

The aims of the DSE regulations is to inform people about the dangers of the display screen on your computer and what type of injuries you can sustain if you use it incorrectly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

8.       What problems are associated with display screen equipment?

Some workers may experience fatigue, eye strain, upper limb problems and backache from overuse or improper use of DSE. These problems can also be experienced from poorly designed workstations or work environments. The causes may not always be obvious and can be due to a combination of factors.

9.       What advice do they give to make working with display screen equipment more comfortable

They give different ways of preventing any injuries or problems, they include:

Getting comfortable

The following may help users:

·                     Forearms should be approximately horizontal and the user’s eyes should be the same height as the top of the screen.

·                     Make sure there is enough work space to accommodate all documents or other equipment. A document holder may help avoid awkward neck and eye movements.

·                     Arrange the desk and screen to avoid glare, or bright reflections. This is often easiest if the screen is not directly facing windows or bright lights.

Working with display screen equipment (DSE)

·                     Adjust curtains or blinds to prevent intrusive light.

·                     Make sure there is space under the desk to move legs.

·                     Avoid excess pressure from the edge of seats on the backs of legs and knees. A footrest may be helpful, particularly for smaller users.

Well-designed workstations

Keyboards and keying in (typing)

·                     A space in front of the keyboard can help you rest your hands and wrists when not keying.

·                     Try to keep wrists straight when keying.

·                     Good keyboard technique is important – you can do this by keeping a soft touch on the keys and not overstretching the fingers.

Using a mouse

·                     Position the mouse within easy reach, so it can be used with a straight wrist.

·                     Sit upright and close to the desk to reduce working with the mouse arm stretched.

·                     Move the keyboard out of the way if it is not being used.

·                     Support the forearm on the desk, and don’t grip the mouse too tightly.

·                     Rest fingers lightly on the buttons an

photography lenses LO2

Photography Lenses

Wide angle lens

 

 This type of lens allows more of the scene to be included in the photograph, which is useful in architectural, interior and landscape photography where the photographer may not be able to move farther from the scene to photograph it.

Telephoto lens

A telephoto lens is a specific type of a long-focus lens in which the physical length of the lens is shorter than the focal length. This is achieved by incorporating a special lens group known as a telephoto group that extends the light path to create a long-focus lens in a much shorter overall design.

Macro lens

A macro lens is classically a lens capable of reproduction ratios greater than 1:1, although it often refers to any lens with a large reproduction ratio, despite rarely exceeding 1:1

Religion in London

London has centres of worship for a multitude of faiths. According to the 2011 Census, the largest religious groupings are Christians (48.4 per cent), followed by those of no religion (20.7 per cent), no response (8.5 per cent), Muslims (12.4 per cent), Hindus (5.0 per cent), Jews (1.8 per cent), Sikhs (1.5 per cent), Buddhists (1.0 per cent) and other (0.6 per cent).

Christianity in London

Historically London has been predominantly Christian. Nowadays, Christianity is the largest minority religion. This is clear from the large number of churches around the area, particularly in the City of London which alone contains around 50 churches. Anglicanism is the primary denomination, and the Archbishop of Canterbury's main residence is actually at Lambeth Palace. Most parts of London north of the Thames and west of the River Lee are within the diocese of London under the Bishop at the famous St Paul's Cathedral in the City, parishes east of the River Lee are within the Diocese of Chelmsford, whilst most parts south of the river are administered from Southwark Cathedral as the diocese of Southwark. Important national and royal ceremonies are divided between St Paul's and Westminster Abbey.

Islam in London

Islam is London's second largest minority religion. 38% of England's Muslims live in London where they represent 12.4% of the population. London Central Mosque is a well-known landmark on the edge of Regent's Park, and there are many other mosques in the city.

Judaism in London

Over two-thirds of British Jews live in London, which ranks thirteenth in the world as a Jewish population centre. There are significant Jewish communities in parts of north London such as Stamford Hill and Golders Green. There are currently two eruvin in London; one that covers Hendon, Golders Green, and Hampstead Garden Suburb and another in Edgware.

Hinduism in London

Over half of the UK's Hindu population live in London where they make up 5% of the population. Every borough has a significant Hindu population and as per the 2011 census, the London borough of Harrow has the largest concentration of Hindus at 25%.

The Hindu temple at Neasden was the largest temple of Hinduism in Europe, until the opening of the Shri Venkateswara (Balaji) Temple in 2006. Other temples are located in nearby Wembley, Harrow and Willesden, as well as Wimbledon and Newham in South and East London.

Sikhism in London

London is home to a large Sikh population, who are mainly settled around the west of the city, in suburbs like Southall and Hayes. The largest Sikh temple in London (and Europe) is Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha in Southall.

I will be photographing different churches in London; I want the audience to see the diverse cultures in this city and how religion has changed in this country over time. The purpose of my photography will be to show audiences how religion is very diverse in London and how people are proud to be worshiping their god in individual churches.

This is an article about “Religious faith” in London and talks about the expansion of other religions including Judaism and Buddhists. It also discusses how different buildings have been constructed including synagogues and mosques. The article also discusses how Christianity has expanded in the last 50 years in England and how it has influenced thousands of people in the capital.

This is a map of London where all 9 colours represent a specific religion. The colours also show the amount of influence these religions have had in specific areas of London. It also shows the amount of followers that they have for their specific religions.
