Photography

Last year I took photography and learned so much!  I was taught how to use a 35mm camera and everything that goes along with it, including the film.  It was definitely a new experience because I have only used digital cameras and never had to deal with developing the film.  But it was so fun to learn how to use a black room and all the different techniques you can do when developing film.  We also spent some time with digital cameras and enhancing them in Photoshop. 

This is a technique I learned using the black room.  I painted on the developer
 and it gives a really interesting splatter effect.

I took this picture with a 35mm camera and developed it in the black room.
I love the classic look and lighting on the flowers.

I took this picture with my digital camera.  I think the perspective of
this photo really makes it interesting.

This is another technique I learned in the black room.  I first developed
the picture normally and then I soaked it in tea to get the sepia tone.

This is called a photogram, which is created by placing objects directly on the
 paper when you expose it to the light, then developing it normally.  We were
 asked to create a theme with objects and as you can see, my theme is art.
