Hi Damon
Good comments. Try to develop your "I" statements even more and include images as much as possible.

Day 2
Today we went into the dark room and did some prints of our pictures we took last week. First we did contact prints, these are when you get your negatives and put them on top of a piece of photographic paper then put the light on it and put it through the different chemicals.
After we had done some contact prints we did bigger prints, we did this by putting the negatives into the enlarger and print the picture on a peice of paper.
I found it easy to do the prints but also found it hard to find the right amount of light time o put on the prints.
I did a test strip with half a peice of photography paper, I used a picture we had taken and printed it for 2 seconds at a time while covering the other pieces of the paper witha peice of card.
I meade two final prints, 1 was to dark so it needed less time where as the other was to light so it needed slighty more time.
I found out that the best time for the paper to be under the light is about 4-5 seconds.

Day 1
Today we started the day by learning how to use the camera's that use film.
We were given a piece of paper with a word on it which we went out in groups of two and took pictures. My word woed was 'Decay', I found it hard to take pictures of somthing with this word so we took some picture of broken walls and other things that looked like they were going rotten. When using the camera's we had to find the right opacity, focus and aperture, we knew when these were right because there would be a green dot when looking through the camera lens.
When we got back to the class we had a go at taking the film out of the pot, wrap it around the little spindle and place it in a bucket where we put chemicals to fix the film to negatives,
This was hard as we couldn't see the film as it was in a black bag because it is light sesitive.
later today I made some designs and printed of some pictures of soem picture that had been made by artist's such as Tracey Emin, Damien Hurst, Antony Gormely and Louise Bourgeouis
