First Photo Shoot

The First Photo Shoot project uses a film camera and an enlarger.

Once you've taken photos and developed the film (same process as with the "Photogram" project), hopefully you've ended up with some good pictures on your negatives.

Negatives:

The only way to find out which picture looks well enough is to make a contact print, like so:

You make a contact print by placing your negatives on photo paper and use an enlarger to shine light on them.

After making the contact print and deciding which photo looks the best, you make a test strip.

Using increments of 3 seconds, you place a box on top of the photo paper (keep in mind your negatives should be placed inside the enlarger) and slide it down each round. You want to get a really light shade and a really dark shade to determine what is the best amount of time underneath the light.

I took 7.5 seconds;
