MAKING PHOTOGRAM PRINTS - Using Chemicals

After you've exposed your photo paper to light using the enlarger, you must put your paper in 3 chemical baths:

1.  Developer - 1 minute

2.  Stop Bath - 30 seconds

4.  Fix Bath - 10 minutes or more

5.  Water Wash - 15 minutes or more.

DARKROOM RULES:

1.  Clean up after yourself

2.  Enter and Exit through the revolving doors ONLY

3.  No food & no phones (light will fog paper)

4.  Do not turn on lights

5.  PAPER is precious & expensive so be careful with it.  Only take what you need and seal the container after

6.  Keep noise level down and be respectful of each other

Charlotte's Lumen

 

I chose this Lumen image for a few reasons. I really like the colouring in this image, the bright yellow on top of the tan sort of colour. Also I really like the simplicity of it.

Eli Deacon

i like this image because i like music and it involves music. i like how they incorporate the inside of the tape not just the outside.

Jasmine Nue-lee

I find this photogram very interesting because I love the ocean and dolphins are very unique animals :)

Rhianna Oldale

I find this picture very interesting. I love the gray shades in the few top keys. My idea of this photo makes me feel as if this photo is secretive, as if the keys are leading to inner secrets.

I liked this photogram because it's simple, but the
butterflies are detailed (in shades) and it can easily
mean/represent different things for different people.
