Free Day Thursday 15th December 2011 (Printing Body/Environment))

Getting to uni at 11:45 I secured a B&W enlarger and set about getting the enlarger lens and setting up the (decent) easel etc. I just wanted to try and print a few more of the Salvation Army prints off to check the quality of the images before selecting any final(s) image(s).

Also I wanted to look at my first attempts at the Brassai night time pastiche, these images were test shots taken on my Mamiya. The more promising looking negative had some camera shake (I've already blogged that i need a decent tripod!) so after printing that I also had a go with another neg and again I suspect it won't be a final print. I may return to the location and try another roll of film on improving on what I have.
