Assignment 1 : Light Sensitive Material

For the first project, I had to create a light sensitive photo. I had to deal with the photographic paper and the chemicals such as the developer, stopper and fixer. My first test did not come out very clear. The subject of my picture was my necklace, my ring and my finger. It was not the best idea to put my finger in the photo because it was more difficult to  expose the paper. I did not well balance the light on my photographic paper. My exposure was not long enough only approximately 5 seconds. My light source, my smartphone was not bright enough. My team did not agitate the chemical a lot, so the developer was not as active as it should have been which did not allow for a good development. For my second photo, the subject was my digital camera along with the safety cord, designed in the shape of a heart. The picture is not perfect but I'm satisfied of the result. There is a little lack of exposure but it's better than the first one. The contrast between the black and white are more apparent. I exposed the photographic paper 10 seconds instead of 5 minutes and increased the light intensity of my smartphone by changing my wallpaper to something brighter than used in the first.
