Darkroom Developing
Active Assignment Weekly:
en•joy•ment
–noun
1. the act of enjoying.
2. the possession, use, or occupancy of anything with satisfaction or pleasure
3. a particular form or source of pleasure
I thought it might be nice to have a reasonably broad assignment this week so let’s all attempt to create a photograph that represents enjoyment. It could be absolutely anything that represents something you personally enjoy (permitted by the terms of the group of course!).
Restriction
The photo should convey something that you personally enjoy. So posting a photo of someone else enjoying an ice cream would be no good if you don’t also enjoy eating ice cream. Posting a photo of a pet or child playing would be fine as we can assume you enjoy playing with them. It might be nice to learn a little something that we may not already know about you from your photograph. :)
Dare
To make some kind of change to the shot during post processing that other members of the group may not be able to easily identify. Please indicate if you have taken on the dare when posting your photo so other members will know if they should try to guess what you have changed.
Examples
Please feel free to add any images which you think might help other members with inspiration.
WIT: There's something completely relaxing and satisfying in developing and printing silver geletin prints for me. That said, I really haven't done much lately. This took about an hour of cleaning out the darkroom and setting up trays and moving the light closer. I set up the tripod and took a few exposures on manual to find the right combination, then placed the photo in the tray and shot it with this combination (F/2.8, 0.5 sec exposure, ISO 800). CS4 curves for contrast which actually took out the timer in the foreground, cloned out a distracting reflection, slight rotation, sharpen, resize.
I did do one other step in post processing that I've been finding I like, though it isn't very obvious in this shot.
