Printing Process

We loaded the negatives into the enlarger and set the time for proper exposure.


We placed the blank photo paper in the Easel. to set the border then focused the image by moving the levers up and down on the enlarger.Then we pushed the button to turn the the light on to expose the image onto the paper.

Then followed with the rest of the developing process.

9/11 Assignment

RULE OF THIRDS

In this photo, the rule of thirds is used, vertically.
on the left side of the photo you have the honorary men, then there is a small space in the middle and on the right side there is a soldier's glove holding a hat with the picture of a fallen soldier. The small space between the living honored men on the left and the fallen soldier i the hat on the right represents the small space between the two realities.




AVOIDING MERGERS

This photo would be much more meaningful if the little bald kid in the foreground was gone to get more of the praying soldiers on the left.









BALANCE

In this photo,the balance isn't so much physical but more emotional.
There are soldiers staarting on the foreground right moving towards teh background and then there are soldiers lined up starting from the background left towards the foreground right...






LINES

This photo is a good example of lines because all the lines are going the same way. towards the man playin the instrument.














FRAMING


The framing is bad because the photographer cut off the firefighters face off on the left side...

Negatives Critique

Our negatives didn't show up.
we came to the conclusion that it was a probablem with the camera.
we even noticed before we shot that the camera that the numbers weren't moving and the camera wasn't winding so when out pictures came out, the entire negative strip was blank.

=(

Action.Story.Fill the Frame

ACTION AND EMOTION



I think this one shows alot of emotion.
Happiness. excitment. Focus is on egg and smile in the background captures the picture in "halves" face on one side and the beaker on the other half.







FILLING THE FRAME

I like this one because it fills the frame completely. The foreground is in focus and the girl is in the background and out of focus. but i do wish that she had a better look on her face...


This one tells a good story.
It's deep.
the act of him looking down at a "book" (maybe, probably, i mean he's in a library)
Then the small act of his other hand on the book on the shelf is getting his hands away from his body.
Like he is so interested in these books.


I do wish, though that the the book had a clever title on it. something that would be hinting at something.

like the books in the background be children's books and he has his hands on like an Einstein book or laws of physics or something complicated like that


hmm. sounds like a good photo idea...

Inspiring Picture

I really like this picture because of the amount of feeling that is in it!
The lighting makes it all the better because if it was flat lighting the picture wouldn't have the meaning it does with such a high contrast photo!
~I'm hyper~

Pinhole PIX




No Person, No action.
guitar is in focus.
yes it is warped.
it is a fisheye style.
abnormally large in the front and tapering off towards the sides of the image.


Yes there is a person. (persons)
nothing is really in focus...
looks like someone was holding it...
warped opposite of the 1st image.
gets larger towards the sides of the picture.
