Developing photographs

I shot four different rolls of film. I went to the Red Sox game on Sunday so I decided to shoot a roll in Boston. I am going to start developing the marjority of them next week when I get back from break this weekend. I have so many pictures that I would like to develop to see how they turn out, but I am still really getting a feel for how to use the equipment and the chemicals. Developing the film is so much more difficult than I had expected. Not to mention it is so much harder to do because the photographs I have taken are in all different types of light. I still have so much work to do in terms of how to use the aperture and the shutter speed on my camera. I found myself frustrated with this at times.

I developed my first photgraph of one of the horses at my farm at home, Eli, and my little cousin Daniel I like the picture because it is a pretty good demonstration of framing. It also has a lot of meaning for me in terms of the subjects. I went home for the weekend to take my pictures and my two cousins and my Uncle ended up visiting for the day. My cousin Daniel is afraid of horses, and Eli is sometimes timid with people so I found it fascinating the connection they had, as well as how caring my other cousin Emily was in teaching Daniel how to feed the horses.
