5x4 (Photography)(week 3)

  In our third session with Howard, we produced, first a negative exposure in the victorian style of Julia Margaret Cameron after having being introduced to a Sinar camera and a short demonstration of how we were to set it up (an exposure time of eight seconds and an aperture of 5.6 was essential because the photographic paper we were using was not very light sensitive). At this point we broke into pairs and all attempted to take as well as model for a negative.

  After this, we remained in our pairs and entered the darkroom where we:

1) Developped each negative exposure as described in Photograms (week one)(photography).

2) Created a positive exposure by layering the negative exposure face down over another piece of photographic paper, shiny side up, and set the camera aperture similarly to that of the Sinar camera but made the exposure time slightly longer at nine seconds (we produced in a similar way in week one).

3) Developped this new exposure, again in the same way as previously.

This is the negative exposure of myself:












This is the positive exposure that I produced by using the exposure, taken by using the Sinar camera:
 

This is the negative exposure that I took of a friend of mine called Ryan, as well as the Sinar camera that I and the rest of the group used throughout the session:
