My Second Print
28 January 2009, late at night
Today I learned how to set up borders on the easel, and spent some more time trying to sort out printing. It didn’t seem as productive a day as last week. I was making lots of silly mistakes this time. It took far too many tries to get this print to turn out. I need to be a lot more methodical when i’m in the darkroom. I have way too many test strips that are obviously lying to me. I need to remember to stop the lens down when i’m down focusing. I probably did that twice, noticed once. I need to remember to turn off the focus light before putting my paper down. I only did that once. Printing in the darkroom is fun, despite these set backs.
