Coffee Camera

        The strongest technical aspect of my work is getting the negative image to a positive image that has black, white and grey in it. This is my strongest aspect because you can see all the different shades. The aspect that can be improved is focusing the image. We can improve this by making sure the light from the enlarger is focused.
        Picking the image we wanted was the easiest aspect of this work. It was easy because the sun was to our backs and we got an image that would be easy to take a picture of. The difficult aspect of this project was getting the right amount of time for the light to get into the camera. This was difficult because the more light we let in, the darker the image got. But the less light we let in, the lighter the image was.
        I demonstrated the objective by creating a positive image from a negative image. If I could redo this project I would have done a test strip when converting the negative to a positive to find the correct amount of light exposure.

Dodging and Burning

        The strongest technical aspect of my work is the different values of color. You can see black, white and grey in the final picture. The aspect that can be improved is to make the white whiter. I can improve this by having paper cover the background of the picture to make it white.
        Choosing the picture was the easiest part of this activity. This was the easiest part because when I got the test strip done with the right amount of light, it was easy to choose the best one. Finding the correct amount of light and filter was the difficult part of this project. I had to keep increasing the time the paper was exposed to find the perfect amount of light. I also had to increase the filter to find which one worked best.
        I demonstrated the objective by dodging and burning the background of the image. If I could redo this project I would take pictures outside instead of inside.
