Hmm

If I built my camera collection using our friend from Ferndown's offerings, would that make me a bad photographer and a shit-collector? lol

9- all things are more difficult without a tutor at your side! Especially how to "read" the test strips and figure out the best formula without wasting a whole batch of paper...

(.........)

It's simple - use good magnifying glass and cropping tool. Wink
The best paper to use for contact printing is quick-drying, glossy resin-coated paper.
Print contact sheets on grade 2 or 3 in pairs - one exposed for shadows
and one for highlights (for example, skies). After you can dodging
and burning parts of image to achive good tonal range.
To choose best shoot - look at composition, subject, lines, contrasts,
pepople/animal eyes, frames, figures and so on.......
but the most important thing is that it's your "own" story (break the rules,
listen your heart or mind......bleah, bleah, BLEAAAHHH Wink ).
