Intro to Film

The assignment for this project was to just go outside and take pictures of whatever we wanted with a film camera and then we would develop them in the dark room. I took pictures of all the things that stood out, spoke to me, and that I thought would be cute, as well as things I thought would look good on firm and have good contrast and compositions. I took pictures of objects and subjects (my friends) and I am happy with the photo decisions I made and the photos that I took. In the darkroom, I made the artistic decision after doing 1 test strip to turn the aperture of the exposure up from the normal exposure we use because either the developer wasn't strong or the specific firm camera I used had my photo on the slightly lighter side so I turned the light up higher. As I reflect back on this project I am very proud of the prints that I made. I went above and beyond I did 6 full-size exposures/prints when I only was required to make 2 to 3, and I am super happy with each and every print that I made and I did so with little/no assistance and I am super proud of myself. I think that My favorite print that I made would be either the print of the flowers or the subject looking at the tree.
