Street Photography - prints, contact sheets

Images and contact sheets I've got so far, definately going to work hard the next two days and in the last week. Staying late all next week I reckon. Hopefully all goes well!

Street Photography - Film

Just some of the images, tests and film that haven't quite gone right, so getting rid of them, keeping just what I need essentially. Quite hard for me to do though as I've always been taught to keep mistakes and things that have gone wrong.

Street Photography - Camera

so hapy i've finally got my own camera, came through the post not long ago, think i'll take the dog for a walk and take some pics :) happy times

Street Photography - Friday 18/10/2013

Processed another film today and came out probably my best technically though still a few images missing. Hopefully my next roll of film will be complete and all works.

Street Photography - Failure in film

Not the best day

Went out taking photos and wasn't sure if the film had rewound and so had to risk it, unfortunatley it hadn't. it wasn't even in the metal casing, it had completely come out, completely lost all photos. Wasn't too pleased. A little disheartening, not having mush luck with this project at the minute. Not going to give in though, I'll just buy more filma nd keep going! I put another roll of film I had in and started taking photos again however after a few photos I had taken the camera wouldn't take anymore, no luck what so ever. I'm guessing a low battery? Hope it goes better next weekend.

Street Photography - 11/10/13

                         11/10/13

Spent pretty much all day in the dark room today and once I started getting used to how to do things I was well on my way, I did 19 photos, including tests and contact sheets oh and developed another film. All in all a productive day I'd say. I'll upload some images of what I have done tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the weekend as I've a camera and two rolls to shoot, let's go!

Street Photography - website

Another i liked because of the image capturing the movement, what's going on and the focus on the people and the background out of focus.

Site is Chowen Photography. Some good photos there

Street Photography - Stephen Wright

Just browsing some general street photography on Google and quite liked this one because of the use of people in a line and all matching in the way they are presented.

Photos is Stephen Wright's.

Street Photography - 1st attempt at developing film.

Started Friday  4th Oct 2013

My first attempt didn't go too well, I was in the loading room for about 20 mins and failed to load the film on the reel, i then went back in for a 2nd attempt and was again unsuccessful.

Monday 7th Oct 2013

On Monday I tried again to load the film and see if it was salvageable what I thought I had managed to load on Friday however it wasn't. After realising I'd have to start again, I unloaded the film and cut of some more of the film at the end as I noticed I could afford to as i wouldn't cut into any of my images. I also did this to get rid of the problem I thought was causing the film to not load, which was a crease and a slight cut in the film. Once i had done this the load was very successful and i managed to do this quite quick now i had sorted the problem. Now I had managed to load it on to the reel I was ready to start on using the chemicals to develop my film and see what images I had. It took me about half and hour to get the temperature right, after this I gave up on that particular mix of developer and water and started a-fresh with colder water, now the taps had been running. However on the 2nd attempt I broke the thermometer as it fell out the case and slipped out my hand as I tried to put it back in the casing, felt bad about that! Told the technician and got that sorted. I used the developer for 20 mins agitating the 1st minute then 10 seconds every other minute for that 20 mins. I then poured the developer out in to the waste disposal and poured some stop into my container for 20 seconds and continuously agitated for the full time then poured the stop back in to it's container. Finally I used the fixer for 4 - 5 minutes as when I tested it it cleared quickly. I was worried that I had exposed the film to light in between the stopper and adding the fixer in as the lid, for the light stop, accidentally came off however i still carried on and put the fixer back in the bottle when i had finished. I then took out the roll of film from the container and placed it in the was bath although after about 5 minutes I took it out as I thought I'd exposed it to the light and in the wash the film appeared to be fogged. It was only after I took it out I spotted what looked to be some images on the film. So I  then quickly placed it back in the bath only briefly , used the solution to help the water run off and placed the roll of film in to the dryer for 30 minutes. phew.                   

                                                          

Street Photography

rainy weather outside, somehow thinking it could be potential for some good photographs maybe? load the camera and lets go...

Street Photography

Went out today for the first time with a 35mm camera, felt a bit rushed though as I tried using the whole film role in an hour in case I had a chance to develop it. Glad to be out taking photos again though :)
