Contact Prints - testers and final product

 

I did make an error after all my testing - I forgot which way was meant to be the emulsion down. It was a 50/50 chance, and I managed to guess incorrectly both times. Which is honestly quite impressive in its own way. The images themselves are inverted, however they're still functional for their purpose, and they allow me to see the shots as positives.

The one above is the first "have fun" assignment, where I basically wandered taking pictures of anything I deemed interesting, had a mishap of accidentally opening the camera, exposing the first tail-end of the film longer than I was meant to. And overall, got to have the experience of developing and focusing way harder than I ever have on a second hand. 

I succeeded in the exposure part of the assignment, although the first shot is, once again, ruined by my error of having to open the camera to fix the film as I didn't get it in right the first try. However the depth of field is one I needed to redo and have redone - just still need to develop it. They're not consistent and I forgot to take two identical shots, favouring for rather doing one of each and then rereading the assignment sheet for some frustrating hindsight. 

I made a whole bunch of tester strips and used every single one of them, experimenting with time and light exposure. As well as making the mistake of forgetting to turn the filter on an embarrassing amount of times.
