today was a good day :) we developed our pictures using the enlargers and learnt about the techniques that you have to use. This was my first real time using the dark room and it was such a good eperience. WE got our film from the cupboard and slipped them into the 'ne
g files' this was so we didnt loose them :P we then had to make contact stripes to decide which photographs we were going enlarge. this turned out good first time. again having to use the developer..rinse...and then FIX it and then leave to rinse..technique. then we decided which ones we wanted to enlarge and fitted them carefully into the little box which fits into the enlarger. we measured 5 by 7 and did a test. this was to see how many second you needed to expose light onto the photography paper to get the pisture to come out right. this took a few times getting used to but the testers reallyy helped! you exposed some parts of the paper to more light for longer than other and this tells you how many seconds the picture needs. you also needed to adress the focus to get the sharp edges ans the light, from red to white and the photogrpahy paper isnt sensitive to red light. its only when you use white light does the paper pick up the picture it is exposed to :P i did quite alot of different pictures to get good practise and i have improved masses. from not knowing what i was doing to getting the exposure right and making the pictures was amazing :) seeing the pictures develop was immense. not that you could see it clearly in the dark room but you could see it developing kind of :)
