Intro to film

For this assignment we needed to take a bunch of pictures of whatever we wanted to to familiarize ourselves with the cameras, taking pictures, making contact sheets, developing images, and learning how to make final prints of our images.

My camera had some technical difficulties and I had a hard time with everything. I got very frustrated when my images did not come out as light as I wanted them to. I tried changing the exposure time and everything and the images still came out way darker than I wanted them to. The final print I did submit is still darker than what I wanted it to be but it wasn't as bad as the other ones so I went with it.

If I were to do this assignment again I would try to learn how to use the camera settings as opposed to putting it on automatic. This seems very difficult but I could give it a go and see how it comes out. My favorite image is the one I chose to do for my final print. I thought it was cool because it was able to capture Sydney in mid air without it coming out looking blurry or unclear. This has to do with a faster shutter speed catching the object in the air since the lense clicks faster than she is falling.
