Final images....

Here i created a large set of final images, which i will cut down to a set 0f 19 or 18, to fit into my portfolio file.

For all my images i used a range of effects, some with just normal developing, but some with experimental techniques.

On this first image i did a mixture of a double exposure effect and combining images, to produce a surreal effect. because there was such a large glare in the image, i decided to use this opportunity to use it to a creative advantage.

this image is done in the normal way, but using a light scale of 3 (slightly red) to give slightly more contrast.

with this image i also did double exposure and combining images, because there was once again a white glare which i added a background of a peely painted wall to add a fire effect, there is also some feet visible from the original image which gives a very interesting effect.

this was a straight forward image but with the use of the red light at a high scale (4.5) to maintain the detail, which also added an interesting grainy effect.

this is a normal image produced with the white light to maintain the detail in the shadows and stop too much contrast.

this image was produced using the red light at a 4.0 scale, to add contrast but reduce grain.
this image wasn't as successful as the others, because i tried to add detail from another image into the glare, but this caused a line across the image and some blurriness.
this was a straight forward high contrast image exposed in red once again, at the scale of 4.0
another straight forward image with slightly more contrast to enhance the detail.

this was a reproduction on the image that failed, but without the experimental effects added, which made it much more successful.

Although the image itself was nice, it came out much too dark and out of focus.
Here is another experimental image which i did by adding one of my studio flower images into it, and although it looks interesting, i probably wont be including this in my portfolio.
This image i produced at a very high red (5.0) to give a high contrast, mainly to emphasise the curtains.

I really liked this smashed window image, but due to poor lighting i had to be very careful on how i developed it, so i only added a small amount of contrast yo maintain the detail of the glass, but enough so the image wasn't dull.

i Liked the simplicity of this image, so i added a small amount of contrast (to enhance the radiator and bring it out from the background) but kept the image quite bright.

With this image i re-exposed it and whilst re exposing slightly moved the film to add a moving or misty effect.
With the great difference in light on this image, i tried to create burn tools to help even out the light, but there was no detail under the glare, so i used it to my advantage and made the image dramatic and striking.
Here's one my test sheets..
With this image i did a full double exposure, which means after i placed the paper in the developing tray, instead of moving it onto the fix, i simply placed it back under the enlarger and re-exposed it, causing a sabattier effect.

Another big contrast in light and dark, but it gives the image i dramatic feel which i wanted to maintain.
This was another double exposure but i moved the image down slightly, so the pattern on the wall would appear twice...
Because the lighting was poor when i originally took this photo, i had to use the red light (5.0) at a high level, and expose the picture for a short amount of time to maintain the detail, but i still find this one of my favourite and most haunting images.
