As most of my photos hadn't worked out due to various reasons, i.e, not quite in focus (because people have moved or I haven't focussed it properly), the exposure isn't quite right and even one case were the image, I think, might have worked but it got dropped in the 'stop' tank before being put in the developer, so it became ruined. I had two films ready in the negative holder, so I took out a 5x4 field camera, light meter reader, loop to check focus, a cloth to help block out the light whilst focussing and a tripod.
I set up the camera in the same spot as my first shoot, which was outside the Art Gallery, that is a converted former church. I placed it in front of the entrance as I wanted it to match my other image I took and to try and get it fairly symmetrical also. A friend from Uni helped me with the shoot, reminded me how to set up and use the light reader. I wanted it to work as the other shots, in my opinion, especially in the first shoot, should have worked a lot better than they had because everything was done right that I recall and I had someone there as well to help me and we matched up the light meter reading with the camera, set that up correct however something can't have been right or worked as not all the photos worked. The same happened with the second shoot as one of those images was dropped in the stop tank so I don't seem to have too much luck. This third time I did everything correct, with help, and the first photo seems to have worked pretty well which I am pleased with but on the other hand unfortunately my second image I wasn't so lucky. Through an amateur mistake in the rush of it all and just basically happy that the gentleman we asked was happy enough for me to take the photo I forgot to close the lens before pulling out the slide to take the photo. This resulted in an image were there is a visible mark across the bottom and I think it may have been salvageable though through putting the dark slide back over the film to cover it and protect it from being exposed to the light, so I could close the lens I knocked the camera slightly, as it was a little loose, which made the top of the image blurry and unusable. I am disappointed with this as I think the photo would have been a good one to print, and the man even confessed he used to develop photos himself and has always been interested with photography.
