This week we had an introduction into how to use the scanners for the large format negatives, followed by an introduction into how to use the studio and how to set up the lights. It was easier for me, as I have my own lights and softboxes at home and wasn't new to setting them up, but I still felt like there was
a lot to take in over the 90 minutes in which Stephen was teaching us these things. Even my head was hurting afterwards, even though I had done most of it before.

Afterwards me and my group got together to set up our still life. All of us had brought in a lot of different objects, including a black skull Sarah H. had brought in, and we were having a lot of fun setting up our image, and playing around with different ideas.

A few of us went to find Stephen or Peter, who said that they had already prepared some film holders for us with the film already loaded. Unfortunately, when we found Peter we were told that we had to leave and tidy up, because the next groups were about to come in and have their introduction.. So we left.
We couldn't find another day that week where all of us were free at the same time to take the image, but we were assured that we would have some time to produce our image next Monday.
Images taken with a large format camera are incredibly detailed, such as this one:
