This is my Contact sheet. in this there are many steps to this process. First we have to take pictures outside with an actual camera. then when we come in we have to take the negatives out of the camera and run them through a series of processing to make the pictures on the rial come out nicely. then when it is fully developed i had to chose the best looking photo. I chose my picture of me doing the "tres" sign which means three in basketball. after its fully processed then you have to get a test strip of the picture with different seconds to see which second looks the best. then after that you can use the best looking picture with the best seconds and make a contact sheet then re run through the steps again to get it filtered and show up. then your done.

In my blog the coffee camera was very well mad and every time you have to test the light, first time we went out we just tested the light. then we tried 2 minutes then 1 then thirty seconds then 10 and it worked perfectly. our picture came out very nice and perfectly negative. with the coffee camera you cannot have to much or to little light other wise it will not work. although or negative was not centered it is very hard to get the picture exactly in the middle.

          The strongest technical aspects in all of my work is how they all had good lighting. in the magazine picture i could have added tissue paper, too make some gray show up, I also could have made sure there was less white by making sure there was no light. on my symmetrical picture i could have added a little bit of light so there was some light. On my test strip there was to much visible light.

          The easiest part of this project was the chemical process where we ran our photographs through the different chemicals to have our photos turn out. This was the easiest because all you had to do was shake the little tub and watch the clock, then take it out and change the tub and continue. The hardest part of this project was to make sure all of the photograms and test strips were exposed to no light until you were at your station. then changing the F stops being changed was a little difficult to see.

          In my photograms i demonstrate something different in each one. In my symmetrical photogram i really bring out the letters then use my dots as sort of an outline. In my magazine photogram i showed the human figure, but i exposed the photo to too much light making the photo more white than originally planned. In my landscape I brought out the army men by making them on gray paper which is on top of black so it really brings out the army men.

             The strongest technical aspect of my work is how I did my own thing. I erased my whole background then filled it in with my own photo. The part of this project that I can work on is how my Polaroids some of them don't look realistic on how I erased them. These are the aspects of my work that are good and need some improvement.

             The easiest part of this project was to find my picture of Kobe Bryant then erasing my background was also easy. The hardest part was erasing the Polaroids and getting rid of the Polaroids in the back. This was hard because it had to be perfectly fitted to his body.

in this i demonstrate kobe bryant by putting thee polaroids all around him, i also changed the background to a bright color, so he pops out. The polaroids, go around kobe to make it look like he's coming out of the pictures. if i could do this again i would make my polaroids neater and add another background.

The strongest technical aspect of my work is making the picture black and white by desaturating the image. This was the easiest thing to do because it was very easy i just had to go to image then go to adjustments the his desaturate.
The part of my work i could have improved on was my painting, i would change this by using the lasso tool to outline my picture with the marching ants so i could not paint outside the line.

This project was very easy, the easiest part of this project was to go online and get the photo of the tree, i knew i wanted the tree and this one stuck out so i chose it.
During this project was painting, because i could not stay inside the lines.

I demonstrated the objective by desaturating the picture and then coloring the tree with the history brush. If i could do this project over again i would outline the tree with the lasso tool so that the ants come up and i cannot go outside of the lines.
