This project was a bit stressful for me because it was my first time actually developing film, and the first two times I tried to do it, my film didn't come out for some reason. So, it took me three tries to finally develop it and even then most of my film came out too dark to use. It was also a challenge to put the film in the reel because we weren't able to look at it.
This photo is of my friend lying down near a window. The negative of this photo came out pretty dark, so I had to increase the contrast quite a bit. Originally, her face came out too dark so I had to use the dodging technique to make it lighter.
This photo was of the tie dyed shirts drying on Good Vibes Day. The negative for this also came out quite dark, so I had to increase the contrast and make it very high. Unfortunately, the photo came out a bit unfocused, but I liked it because it gave it a bit of an eerie feel.
This was a photo of a sleeping cat that I took. The photo for this unfortunately came out a bit blurry.
I really like the picture from good vibes day! The vibrating focus makes the t-shirts really pop. I also love the picture of the cat. You have a full range of tonal values and the focus of the image looks very good. I also like how mysterious, and almost scary, the image looks.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo of the cat. There are so many mystical elements involved in such a deep piece. Is this your cat? Did it accept you taking a photo of it? I love how the black and white of the cat compliment the black and white tone of the photo. LOVELY work.
