For this project I had already started ahead of everyone because in Part 2 of this project I had already done a final print that could be used for this part. I believe this head start was a very good thing because it took me a while to do the last 2 prints since there were a few problems with filters which is not commonly when it comes to me, I think this happened because I was using the wrong aperture when I was taken the picture because I didn't take the weather and sun light into good considerations. Besides that filter issues there was not any other problems encountered for this project, I did not have to re-shoot since all my negatives came out good enough for the project, I will try to make sure to keep in mind the mistakes that I made during the lasts projects so the errors will be lesser on the next projects.
Theory Notes
Flash - The flash is a device used in photography to help illuminate dark areas and can also be used to capture rapidly moving objects which give a "frozen" effect to something that was moving when the picture was taken.
This picture is an example a camera that was using a fast shutter speed and flash.
This is how flash mechanism look today. They can be bought separately and then can be mounted onto the camera. Some cameras already come with build in flash.
Light Meter - Is a device used to the amount of light that a subject is receiving on a certain spot. It also helps to the determine a better exposure for a picture, the light meter will determine which shutter speed and f-number should be used for better exposure.
This is a picture of what a hand held light meter looks today. The white circled is the sensor that takes in light and then translates it into information for the photographer to use for the exposure. If using a model, the light meter would be placed really close in front of the model and then a flash will be used so the light meter can read it.
Printing Compositions
Final Prints for this project with their contact sheets
Time = 8 seconds
Aperture = 5.6
Filter = 0
This is one of the contact sheets for the prints. The circled picture is the one that was selected for this project.
Another contact sheet for the other 2 prints with the chosen prints selected. The reason there are 3 selected is because another had to be chosen because one of the previous chosen had some scratches in the negative.
Time=11 seconds
Aperture = 5.6
Filter = 0
This is a picture that works really well when it comes to focusing the viewer's eyes on something specific and in this case is the long hair.
Time = 9 seconds
Aperture = 8
Filter = 3
This is a print that goes into the angle consideration. The print it self is a little too dark and I explained in the Diary Entry why the prints were not coming out too good.
Time = 12 seconds
Aperture = 5.6
Filter = 0
This print is of two subjects and it is also a bit too dark but the background doesn't help much to make the subjects stand out more. I will make sure to take more things in consideration next time I am taking photographs.
Test strips of the finals prints
I do not have have test strip if this print with different time intervals but i do have the final test strip before making the full print at 11 seconds, 5.6 aperture and 0 filter.
Aperture 8
Filter 3
This is the test strip for one of the final prints for this project. As you can see this test strip doesn't match the final print because this test strip is of trials that I did at the beginning.
T=5
T=7
T=9
T=12
T=14
Aperture 5.6
Filter 0
This is another test strip of a final print with different time intervals.
T=17
T=16
T=15
T=14
T=13
T=12
T=11
T=10

I chose this photograph because I personally liked how the hair goes with the profile type of picture that it is and also how the color of her hair really stands out which catches the viewer's eyes.
This photograph was taken by Joel Santos. He is a freelance editorial, travel and documentary photographer based in Hanoi, Vietnam. He is represented by Wonderful Machine in the United States and by Invision Images in Europe and Japan. He is available for assignments across Southeast Asia and beyond.
I chose this picture because it relates to one of the prints that had to be done full front of the face of the subject. I also liked how the color of the hairs changes from a light violet at the top and goes down to a brownish red.
This picture was taken by Mari Moon. She lives in Sao Paulo Brazil and she occupies in fashion and costume designs. I chose this picture because I liked how the blue hair stands out and it is in motion.
