Description
Taken by: MoiOf: Pool/fountain/place where skateboarders go even though they're not supposed to
In: South Hyde Park, Kansas City, MO
For: Photo class, pattern and lines project.
This is my second print ever. You may or may not have noticed the hideous waterspots on it (you have to full view to see them). This is not my fault in any way, shape, or form. It is the fault of some idiot in one of the later photo classes who decided it would be a good idea to take my print off of where it was hanging and place it on the rack UNDERNEATH all the dripping film and prints. It also has a beautiful (not) chemical stain on the top border, but you can't see that in this scan because I gave it new borders in PSP8. However, I was not clever enough to figure out how to digitally remove the waterspots, nor have I gotten around to asking the teacher how to do it to the actual print.
Again, critique quite welcome. I want all the information I can get about how to become a good photographer.

Ooo. I like the lines.
It could use more blacks, though, just to get rid of the 'flatness' of the greys. It would create a sharper, more contrast-yummy image. And the "No Running" would be a lot more obvious... since its the subject of the shot and all...

I recently discovered contrast filters, so whenever I re do this I might use one.

Wait, no. Duh.
Getting more blacks had to do with exposing the print paper to the light-filter-printer thing. Rawr. I don't remember the name.
Fourteen seconds got me a nice, sleek black on the machine I was using. Although I don't know if that helps any. o_o;

It's called an enlarger, and the amount of time varies depending on the negative.

Computers are wonderful things. *coughcoughhackcough*
From what I remember, you can also achieve more blacks if you leave the prints in the chemical solution for longer. I think. I haven't touched a manual in months, and even then I had loads of help... but I think the trick was to leave it in longer. I think.
