Second shoot using 5x4 black and white film field camera format

Second shoot was more of a success as me and friend 'Rachel' went to share the camera with someone in course who is confident in doing film and enjoys and finds film fascinating knew what she was doing and advising us on what to do and she made the film shooting look easy. We all bought 4 films in case something goes wrong or just a chance to catch up with others on producing films and actually print a contact sheet to show that we are going somewhere and not stress out. Me and Rachel were shy to ask but was able to communicate with them when partner asked them which all mainly became all CCAD students we do not know as we were shooting outside the uni getting strangers to stand and pull serious faces against the wall which the strangers didn't seem to mind. It was hard to pull strangers as they are in a rush or insecure about their looks and not entirely sure where the images are going and probably don't trust us, sometimes is was easy to get the old aged couples either being interested in knowing the camera or finds that taking pictures is a laugh and just likes bantering on with young students.

When we developed the film we were all very pleased and feel good about themselves and stress free and able to push on to printing contact sheet and if there's an image on contact sheet that feels right to print out as a final we can do so but I didn't feel the need to with the negatives i have produced but are good just feel I should be able to get better.
