Level 4 photography
Landscapes
Dark Room Process


Doing 12x16 prints is slightly a different process to the first module on street photography using 35mm as we have to use a bigger enlarger. when we did the 35mm we just used tray filled with chemicals but for this module we can still put our prints in trays but we can use a machine that does developer, stop and fix which is a time saver to start onto another print doing test strips and operating the De vere in focus and cropping whilst machine processing print drying it for you to.

I had a border plan where the picture holder 10 inches on height and 12 and a half  inches is width, I set the metal clips inside the picture holder on 1and three quarters inch height and 12 and a half width which is perfect to fit all my image in and not look too stretched and too much.

To process in developing room i had to use a metal cage instead of a tank as the 5x4 camer dont take roll films as we had to use dark slides to put at least one film in each side of dark slide and have to remember to turn over dark slide so that film won't be over exposed or overlap a picture on exposed film.
