Well ive been back in the dark room today developing some more photos. It does feel like this is now a guilty pleasure and I cant get enough of developing my photos. I get very excited when I put it in that developing fluid and watch the picture come in and thinking to myself "oh yeah I did that". Theres nothing better than seeing the shot you took and praying that you managed to keep it in focus .....and low and behold it is in focus. It puts a great big Cheshire cat grin on my face.
The Photo above is mine. This was my attempt at bringing humour to street photography. When I saw the sign and the 2 lady's beneath it. It was to much of a great photo to pass up. Even though I was in a well known store taking this photo I must of looked so dodgy looking through the rails of clothes before I dared myself to quickly take the photo and run out the store. I must admit im really happy with it. It took me several attempts to lighten this photo up and in the end I managed to expose this for 7 seconds.
The Photo above is my image. This man actually stopped me and asked if I wanted to take his photo and actually wanted to pose with a Lobster and when he realised he didn't have any left he decided to pose with a big fish instead. This photo was difficult to develop because the boxes at the front of his table where white and the more I exposed it to light the darker the background got and the more the front seamed to get a darker. So I exposed all the photo to 15 seconds then got a piece of card and covered the back of his stall and exposed the bottom of the table with the white boxes for another 10 seconds and wiggled the card about so I didn't get a definite line.
Again the above photo belongs to me. This gentleman was collecting for a charity and he agreed to let me take his photo im really glad he didn't smile as I wanted him how he was looking when I saw him and I think the tickets blowing in the wind makes this photo. I only exposed this photo to 5 seconds of light but I think it might need more contrast so I may try it again with the aperture closed by 2 click shut and exposing it to more light.
The image above is also mine. This gentleman I past a few times sat at his market stall and when I past him looking like this I took a super sonic click of the camera. I loved the way he put his head in his hands. Again this photo was 5 seconds exposure but I decided to close the aperture by 2 clicks and extend the exposure to 10 seconds im happy with how it turned out, but when you look at it closely its blurred so I will have another attempt at this picture.
