Assignment 3: Full-Frame Enlargements

Zero-Exposure Final Print



I created this print from my film negative for the correct exposure that I had for the exposure latitude portion of the assignment. It includes elements of various colours and textures, as shown in the previous post. After many print attempts, I was able to produce a print with good tonality (but a few dust marks).

For the exposure, I took the photo with the aperture set to 5.6 and the shutter speed set to 1/60th of a second. My makeshift tripod definitely helped with the sharpness. Additionally, I used 125 ISO film for this shot.

Depth of Field Final Print (Low Aperture)



The gentleman has returned. I featured Justin in my first blog post, and his visage was too incredible not to appear again. There are minimal dust marks here, but I did not achieve the contrast that I wanted. I believe that I could have spent more time to perfect the tonality of this print, and the one below.

In the photo, Justin is in focus, with the exit sign and cactus slightly blurred behind him, and the landscape out the window out of focus as well. I set the aperture to 3.5 and the shutter speed to 1/125th of a second. For this shot, I used 400 ISO film.

Depth of Field Final Print (High Aperture)






















Although I took some other photos at a higher aperture, this exposure that I took with the aperture set to 8 (and a shutter speed of 1/30th of a second, also with 400 ISO film) turned out the best, and still showcases a change in depth of field from the photo above. The exit sign and cactus are now in focus as well as the main subject, and even some elements in the background are now a bit sharper. I think I could have improved these two shots with the use of a tripod to get higher quality photos.
