I decided to scan in my negatives as this was easier and looked a lot neater than the contact sheet that i made in the darkroom. This made it a lot easier to see and choose what images i wanted to then make larger in the darkroom.

Paper Problems...
I think I made the stupidest mistake ever
and possibly quite an expensive one. I was in the darkroom and I only really
need 1 final print to do, I had done one but I wasn’t happy with it so went
back and did another. I had the timer on setting it all up and then pressed the
button to switch it off. I bent down to get a sheet of paper and I was getting
it out and all of a sudden I thought, “My eyes must be getting used to this now
I can see everything” yehhh that never happened. I had pressed the wrong button
and the timer had come on and I really didn’t think anything off it. When I put
my print through the processor it came out the other side and all looked well
for about 3 mins then the rest of my print faded from orange to black!! Hope to
god all my paper isn’t like this… I cant look!!
Whats this called?
On the first day I think it was we were
given the 5x4 cameras, as this is what we would be using for this project. Instead
of using negative we used this paper that after you shot you went straight to
the darkroom and processed the paper. It was a different experience as I hadn’t
done this before and it seemed easier but I don’t understand?! Like how do you
make more prints? Or cant you?
Anyway I liked this process it created
really old looking shots, mine unfortunately didn’t work out as I think I may
have rushed it a little also I had a problem with the paper getting stuck. But other
peoples who I worked with turned out really nice and had an old feel to the
images.
b+w 35mm test shots
When we were given our first brief I didn’t
really know what to do, then I went on holiday so this wasn’t a good start.
However I found a b+w film so I tried to have a go at showing depth of field. I
thought it was good at the time but now I realize what we had to do to I realize
its pretty crap. But I thought I would put them in to show that I at least tried.
I ruined the rest of the film some how when I was processing the film L
I know it looks like we had a terrible
holiday but they didn’t know that I was taking these so that’s why they aren’t
getting there pose on.

Model Release Form
A model release form is important to get just
to cover your back and make sure that the model doesn’t change there mind and don’t
want you to use there image and then decided to sue etc. It is best to get one
signed whenever possible. They are proof that the model has signed over any rights
that they may have had over to you, the photographer, from this you can do as
you wish with the images (within reason.)
After looking at a number of model release forms I think that they are really technical and could be quite over whelming to the model. I don’t want to intimidate my model with techniqual jargon so I think that I am going to make my model release form as simple as possible and easy to understand. I want the model to sign it so I can use my images freely without worry of breaking the law.
