Picture with Camera

     The first step in this assignment was to go outside and take pictures of each other. Learning how to use a camera and how to adjust the focus and the lighting. After taking the pictures, we would come inside and take out the film from the camera. We then would take a light-tight developing bag and put the film inside of it. We had to put the film in the reel and put all the parts together. After the container was closed and no light was getting through, we had to develop the film. First by pouring in the developer, agitating it, pouring it out, pouring in the stop bath, agitating it, pouring it out. Then pouring in the fixer and agitating it and finally leave it under running water for a few minutes. Then take out the film and leave it hanging up to dry. Then after leaving it to dry, we would cut the film into pictures of five. Looking at the pictures, you want to choose the best photo that has the right lighting, is in focus, and that also has black, white, and gray on the photo. We took that photo, put it on the enlarger, take a test strip, and test for 2, 4, 6, and 8 seconds. After developing the test strip, you take it out and see which time has black, white, and gray. We noticed that 8 seconds has black, white, and gray, so we took another test strip and put it all on 8 seconds. After developing the photo and looking at it, we thought it was good to take the larger piece of paper and enlarge the photo onto there. We developed the picture and it came out with black, white, and grey on it.
