Now Image Lab has come to an end, and I can't believe that 12 weeks (including fresher's week) have passed so quickly.
Looking back over everything we've done, I can say that I have learned a lot of new skills, some of which I can see using again over the next few years.
I think I can honestly say that it started off a little boring, but got more exciting and interesting as we went on.
While the first few weeks on pinhole cameras were definitely a good start to ImageLab, I don't think I'll be shooting this way again after all.
Learning how to scan didn't interest me in the slightest. I have used scanners before, as I'm sure most of us have done, and I think I learned the least that week. It was a fun group session, but nothing more for me.
However, I can definitely see working with Cyanotypes and Argyrotypes again in the future!
Working on my time image has possibly taught me the most about my camera, and how I can use aperture and exposure together in a more effective way.
The last lab on Large Format Cameras has got me excited for using them in the second year. Yes, it takes longer to set up, but it's also so much more rewarding to see your final result and the negative!
Overall.. It's been a great 12 weeks in which I have learned a lot. It's been a bit disorganised at times, but all in all I still found it a great experience!
Your blog has been really helpful thanks. I've been following week-to-week and you've reminded me of a few things that we did each week! I like the layout of your blog, it's colourful, inviting and I enjoy reading this. I also like how you've cited all your sources on the right hand bar. it's easy to navigate and great to read :)
