GOV.UK COVID-19

	Robyn Butler Date of birth: 5 Oct 2014 Your pass to access the test site – have this ready to show staff when you arrive

Pass ID: 6FPI-PS49-WR1T-FBRP-GXUM Playball Pavillion - Mobile Unit Playball Pavillion Stormont Belfast BT4 3SB Date: 16 Dec 2021 Time: 2:00pm Vehicle: IRZ4835 What to bring to the test site a copy of your test site pass (and passes for any children getting a test) – have the QR code in the pass ready to display (on the email, printed off or as a screenshot) or it could delay your entry to the test site photo ID - a driving licence or passport for each person getting a test hand sanitiser or antiseptic wipes - because we may ask you to do the test yourself, so you'll need clean hands If you're visiting a walk-through site, each person aged 3 years and over should wear a face covering. You may also want to bring a bottle of water, as we cannot provide water at the test site. ! If you have symptoms, self-isolate straight away until you get your results. Do not leave home, except to post a test kit or for a PCR test appointment. Check if people you live with need to self-isolate on NHS.UK. What happens at the test site You'll stay in your vehicle or testing bay during your visit. Depending on which site you go to, you'll either be asked to do the test yourself (with instructions) or an assistant will do the swab test for you. Staff will let you know which test you'll be doing when you arrive at the test site. Watch these videos to see what happens at test sites. Learn about self testing. Learn about walk-through sites. It usually takes no more than 10 minutes to perform the test. You may have to wait to be tested, but you would not usually be at the test centre for more than an hour. You'll receive your test results by text message. Most people get their result the next day, but it may take up to 3 days. If you do not get your result by day 6, call the coronavirus testing contact centre on 119. The contact centre is open from 7am to 11pm. If you're bringing a baby or child If you're bringing a child aged 11 or under to be tested, you (their parent or guardian) will be asked to swab test your child. You'll be given paper instructions. You'll swab test your child either in a testing bay (walk-through) or from the back seat of your vehicle (drive-through). If you're going to a drive-through site, you may want to bring another adult, so one of you can already be seated in the back when you arrive. Otherwise, you'll need to climb onto the back seat. You'll not be able to leave the vehicle or the testing bay during the test. Before you swab test your child, you'll need to read the paper instructions. It can take about 20 minutes to read the instructions and then do the test. You may want to bring something to keep your child entertained while you read and then swab yourself. Antibody testing If you agreed to do antibody testing, you may receive an antibody test kit in the post 2-3 days after you get a positive PCR test result. Your 2nd antibody test kit will arrive 3 weeks after the first one. The kit contains clear instructions on how to do the test. It's important you do the test and post it back as soon as possible. You can leave home to post a test kit while self-isolating. Find more info on how to prepare for, take and return the antibody test. Do you need a BSL interpreter? If you are Deaf and need a BSL interpreter during your drive-through test, download the free InterpreterNow app before your appointment. Can you help the NHS? If you are over 50 and recently developed coronavirus symptoms, you may be able to take part in a clinical trial. Find out more and check if you qualify.

Major Project Proposal

Over the last two years my wife and I have been unsuccessfully trying to have children. We decided to go through the IVF process which has proven to be both extremely stressful and complicated. Luckily, against the odds, the process has worked first time and we our expecting our baby to arrive at the end of June.

I wish to capture this moment in our lives and in a series of portraits of my wife. Through these photographs I want to show some of the emotion involved in the process and the relief of it being successful without it being all about the IVF process itself.

The project will be broken down into 6 development segments:

1. Initial ideas. Research.

Research photography which is related to pregnancy and portraits in general. Develop ideas to be used in an initial photo shoot

2. Initial shoot

Take a series of photographs based on work carried out in segment 1.

3. Ideas development, evaluation of shoot.

Evaluate the photographs gained from the initial shoot and use critical thinking to develop ideas further.

4. Further shoot

Complete an additional photo shoot to show development of ideas.

5. Evaluation and adjustment of shoot

Evaluate images and make any necessary adjustments. Do further shoots if needed.

6. final images/display options.

Prepare final images and look at display options.

Outcomes:

The result of this project will be a set of 10 -20 photographs. All work carried out will be shown in my blog which will include critical thinking, analysis, preparatory work and research.

Gestalt project

I have submitted the following three images which I believe make use of Gestalt laws:

Image 1:  Law of Closure.  This image uses the rocks that surround the pool to provide a frame for the reflection of a lighthouse. This gives a structure that encloses that subject matter.

Image 2: Law of Simplicity.  With this shot I wanted to isolate the horses eye against a plain background which was provided by the horses neck and head.  To add to this I used a very shallow depth of field focusing on the eye, which I thinks helps to simplify the image.

Image 3: Law of Segregation. For this image I have tried to use the figure-ground technique in order to separate the sky from the buildings in the foreground.  This was done by simply exposing the shot for the sky so as the lighthouse is in silhouette.  I think that this technique works quite well when the subject matter has a distinctive shape that is easily recognised such as this lighthouse.

Gestalt thoughts

For my current assignment I need to produce three photographs that make deliberate use of gestalt principles.

Usually when taking shots I would concentrate on things like leading lines, simplifying and the rule of thirds.  Whilst elements of these techniques do cross over with the gestalt principles, it will be a new way of building images for me and is something that I'm looking forward to giving a go.

The one that I'm mostly interested in using is the law of closure and in particular the formation of triangles in the composition.

As for subject matter for the shoot, I'm still a bit unsure as too what it will be.  I haven't done much in the way of street photography previously so I may try some for this assignment.  Alternatively their are a few new buildings in Belfast that I'd like to get some shots of so this may be a good opportunity to do so.

Gestalt

For the next project I have to look at Gestalt psychology and then produce three images which use it's principles within their composition.

Gestalt is the name given to a series theories that where devised by a group of German and Austrian psychologists in the early 20th Century.  From these theories a number of laws and principles were created that can be used in artistic composition in order to have an effect on how the viewer perceives an image.

Some of these Gestalt principles have been used to great effect by artists such as M. C. Escher and Salvador Dali.

Whilst the theories laid out by Gestalt are not perfect they can be used by photographers in order to make more interesting shots.  The main interest for photographers lies within the Gestalt laws of perceptual organisation which are as follows.

1. Law of Proximity.
The mind organises elements within a photograph according to how close they are to each other.

2. Law of Similarity.
The mind tends to group together objects or elements that are similar either by shape or content.

3. Law of Closure.
The mind seeks to create recognisable shapes from groups of elements in order to create completeness.

4. Law of Simplicity.
The mind seems to prefer simple shapes and lines as well as balance and symmetry.

5. Law of Common Fate.
Elements that are grouped together in an image are perceived by the mind to move together as one.

6. Law of Good Continuation.
The mind tends to attempt to continue shapes and lines beyond the limits of the image.

7 Law of Segregation.
to allow the mind to perceive an element within an image it must stand out from the background.
