Week Eleven - Hanging our last exhibition for this unit, and coming back to our still life

This week it was time to hang our last gallery exhibition for this unit.

My contribution and final image.

It was also time for us to have another go at large format photography! Most of us were confused about what was happening that day, especially when Sarah H. told me that she talked to Stephen the week before who told her that we're not actually required to produce an image, since it won't be hung up in the gallery. The idea was mainly for us to get a feel for large format photography.
We did it anyway, and also learned that way how to process the negative and how to scan it.

Overall it felt to all of us like the whole day had taken longer than it should have done, but we got there in the end and I think we were all very proud of our negative once we had it. The detail we achieved with the large format camera is amazing, and I'm looking forward to using it again. With a smaller group though, after we also took Beckie into our group the week before there were simply too many of us running around. Seven people were a few too many for what needed to be done.
