Developing photos from film and editing digital photos on photoshop.

, levels are when you change the range of tone in the picture, curve is to do with the contrast of colour of the picture and clone stamping is when you want to get rid of a imperfection in the picture, so you select a part of the image next to the imperfection and copy it over the imperfection. I thought that working with digital cameras had much more possibilities than film cameras. After we had done with working with digital cameras we moved on the the film cameras. The previous week we had taken some photos, this week we were set the task to develop them. First of all we had to assemble the film holder to put all the chemicals in. This was extremely hard because we had to do this in a lightproof bag because the film was still sensitive to light so if the film was exposed to light then it would ruin. Then we put the developer in then washed it then the fix then washed it and dried our film through lunch. After lunch we had to go in the dark room to develop the film, to see how many seconds of light our film needed, we discoved that it needed 3.5 seconds of light exposure. In total we made 6 pictures all in focus and well developed, we were quite proud of it.

James, you haven't posted anything for week 2!

The custom white balance symbol

Today we experimented using white balance and exposure. We worked in groups of 3 and were each filmed talking about what we hoped to get out of CRAM. We successfully created 3 films with the correct white balance and exposure. To do this we selected the custom white balance option on the camera and placed a white sheet of paper in front of the camera.The reason why we did this, was to tell the camera what 'white' should look like in the light condition. After doing this we adjusted the exposure by using the exposure buttons on the side of the camera and we adjusted it as we wanted. When the white balance is correct it really makes a difference in the quality of filming.
