Picture Taking 1/11/15

After learning darkroom training the next step was to get my picture taken. After talking a while with Andrew we decided that it was best to conduct my experiment by adding the household chemicals after I start making the print so that I don't go through rolls and rolls of film. This would be much more cost effective and save a lot of time. It would allow me to find a few really good pictures and make multiple prints of it instead of trying different chemicals out on different pictures in different batches of developing. If I introduced all of these variables I would never be able to draw any conclusions about why the colors turned the colors they did.

Today I took my first stab at taking my first roll of film. The subject matter? Zoe and Zach sitting in the library working on their constellation and chess ISP's respectively. Since I only grazed over the manual there is a very large chance that everything is both too blurry and too bright but you live and you learn right? I am hoping that tomorrow I will be able to go back to the darkroom with Andrew and learn how to prepare the negatives.

The general process that I will use to prepare my negatives.
