Today we started a new unit and its all independant work. Before break we where shown how to use the cameras and how to develop the films. After break we went out in pairs to take pictures of the word that we where given ours was isolation and we struggled with this because there arn't many things around cambridge that are isolated because it was busy but we unded up getting some good pictures. The ones that came out best on the negatives where the one of the duck that i chased around the field trying to get the picture. The picture of me holding the peice of paper saying isolation because we had ran out of ideas and the picture of me sitting on the bench with the shadows of the glass frame comming through onto the floor and it has leading lines but the only problem is that the lines are the first thing you notice and your eyes follow them along to me on the bench but that should be the main focus.
After we took all the photos we had to develop them but first we had to get the film into the light proof tub so the film wouldn't get spoiled. I was left to do this job and it was really hard becasue you couldnt see what you where doing and im not used to that and it took me quite a while to get the hang of it. After that I developed them while emily timed how long the proccess where taking and after it was developed washed fixed and then washed again it was ready to go into the dryer.
Next week we will be enlarging the negatives and printing them to stick into our sketch books.
