Lab

We worked in the lab last night for class. I wanted to develop the photograph that I took of the Duxbury bridge, but the negative was so dark that I had to do a lot of trial and error. I ended up opening my aperture all the way up, with a filter of 2, and an exposure to light for 40 seconds! It took a long time to finally get it right. I am just feeling okay about the end result. The picture is a little bit dull in my opinion. There is a lot of grey. I really like that the people walking along the bridge showed up as well as the car driving on it, and I like how it cuts right across the photo. If only there was more contrast in the forground, and less grey sky.

Anyway, it is obvious that I am finally starting to learn a little bit more about how to develop photographs. When I first started this Photography class I had absolutely no experience with photographs at all, in fact my friends do not even let me take pictures when we are out as a group because they say I mess them up!!! I think I have made a significant amount of progress. I can't wait to put more time into my work in the next few weeks and hopefully get some really good photos that I am really happy with.
