Journal Entry #8







Most sepia toned prints are pictures of old or antique subjects.  A good sepia toned picture is one that has a good subject, such as an antique or old style, and is toned well.

Journal Entry #5

 Good solarized prints usually have a metallic subject.  However it is very easy to use other subjects to make just as good of a solarized print.  These pictures each have a subject of either a person or of nature.  It is important to keep a picture very simple when you do solarization because if you have too many distractions the print may not come out the way you want it to. My first solarized print I liked a lot because of the subject and the way it ended up turning out.  The second I saw had to many distractions and too much light in certain areas.

Each of these pictures are examples of polaroid transfers.  Polaroid transfers are pictures that have been taken with slide film and printed using a special enlarger and special print paper.  I like these polaroid transfers because they have interesting subjects and capture a certain emotion with each picture.  I pictures of two buildings: one ruined by fire and one full of life.  I did achieve what i wanted to with my transfers with the color and fadedness of the pics.
