The most technical aspect of my work is the way the light appeared on my pictures and my test strip. The first is my symmetry picture using little circle blocks to block the light in circle shapes, making a heart in symmetry form. In my heart i was able to get all three colors, white, gray and black. the gray is on the heart with the white. That happened because of the way the light hit the little blocks. 
The same with the landscape and the magazine, i got all three colors with the help of the enlargers. What can be improved on is my placement with the tree and clouds of my landscape.

 I could also improve on my borders of my pictures, and the end of my test strip. What i thought was easy about this activity was the placement of how i set up my pictures and where i wanted to put them on the enlarger. Also setting my F-Stop to 11 and F-Stop 16, as funny as that sounds when its so dark in there. When i put my seconds to 4 for my landscape and 10 for the other two, it was easy to see the picture develop in the developer. Making my test strip was a little difficult, it took me two tries and the one i finally thought looked good i kept. I used F- Stop 11 because 16 wasn't working as well, and used a filter 5 and put it to 1 second. 

There was a lot of adjusting for my test strip. I demonstrated my work through my imagination and showed you what i wanted to make in my pictures. Every picture has there own story and significance and was able to develop these pictures. If i could do this again i would make all of my pictures look like they came out of a museum. Making everything look perfect would be my goal for the next time.
