Final Project. Collage of are failures

Contact sheet to print

This is the photo of a bike rack in front of the school. It took a while to get to this point. Three roles of fill destroyed. These pictures are from my last role of file I did. I had some trouble with the times. But it finally came out. I feel like the filter actually hurts the look of the picture.

The picture looks good with the shadow of the bike rack behind it. I did not intend to have it in there. But it looks good. The light level it make it like this was tricky to do. I had it open to F8 for 9 seconds. I think if the filter that would make it look much more crisp and clean, and darker.

This is the photos from my coffee camera. This is all done in one day because the next day is different. The strips were to see how long I needed to keep the flap open. The very dark one was actually the longest time of thirty seconds, the middle one was 25 seconds, and the third one was 20 second. We were rushed for time and the light that day was weird. The last one, the big one was 15 seconds and it came out amazing. (I think) It is a lot different then taking a normal picture with a camera. It took a long time to finish but it was worth it to do!

This second picture was an attempt at a positive. But as you can see it did not work it came out very blurry. I don't know how it happened but sadly it did not work.

These are my photos the we made with the enlargers. We had all of these on F11 which is a smaller opening. The top two are made from things in the art room. The left one was summetrical and the right one was a landscape one. The bottom left one was a mess up. The bottom right one was a magazine the we used to show what it looks like with the enlarger. The project was to get three different light levels in the pictures. We needed not exposed at all, white, partly exposed, gray, and fully exposed, black, and all three pictures have it. The small strips is called a test strip, we used it on the magazine to see if it is worth using the picture if anything. I was happy with all my pictures and they all came out good. All but the magazine only required 4 second of light exposure. The magazine required 10 seconds because it required to go through the thick paper to transfer the image.

The strongest technical aspect of my work is cutting up the right amount to not have to much blue to show out. Then adding the Polaroid to it was another hard thing to do. The thing I need to work on it finding the perfect background images. It took me a while to find the right picketers to put in the back.

The easiest part of this activity was to put the Polaroid's on the fox. It was very simple and easy to do.  The most difficult was putting in the right amount of pictures in the background. It too a while to get the right amount to put in to make it look good. But it came out good.

I demonstrated the objective by taking the fox cutting him out. The adding Polaroid's and a background. If I started this again I would pick a different animal is all. I think it came out well. There may be a few changes to fix it up. But nothing big at all.

   The strongest technical aspect of my work was having to use the healing brush to get ride of the freckles on her face. It was time consuming but I got it done in a few days. Well what I should work on is how to do the the smallest of things to work on. Its hard to do makeup for me at least so i need to find a better way to do it. But i like how it came out at the end.
   The easies thing in this project was to put the foundation on. It was every simple and easy. The headrest thing in this project was changing the eye color. It was very hard to change it to be almost the same color as the other. In the end I got them both very close to a dark green. They look great!
   I demonstrate the objective of this project by taking all her freckles away and her mole. Then gave her some makeup after I did. I don't know what I would do differently if I did this again. Theres not a lot I need to touch up or work on in tho one.
