13th May 2010

Today we developed our film strips.

We firstly had to create a contact print, which is where the film strip and the photographic paper are in contact with eachother when deveolping, then we had to do some test strips before doing our final prints to see how long we need to expose it to the light. We lastly did some final prints.

Test strips- we had to test to see how long we needed to leave the light on for the final prints. We did this by using a peipce of cardboard and covering all but one strip of the paper, then leave the light on for 2 seconds. You then have to move the cardboard along and leave the light on for another 2 seconds. You keep on doing this until you reach the end of the peice of photographic paper. You are then left with a peice of stripy paper with different tones on. You then find the strip that looks the best and you look to see how long it was under the light for and you use this information when printing your final prints.
