This time I didn't really have any troubles, it was all very quick. I think something that helped was that this time I used Shani's camera and the one that I used for the last project, I just can't use it properly so hopefully I'll be able to get my camera fixed over the October break.
The developing process was very fast. I made my contact sheet and all of my three prints in one class, probably the fastest I've developed.

Since this picture was taken pretty much right after the two person one I did one test strip with the same time just to make sure there wasn't anything strange with it.

It's a very simple picture yet I like the simplicity of it. Since the wall in the background isn't dark in this picture the focus in mainly on her.

What I like about this is how its slightly from below creating a sort of angle and also that her head is slightly turned. It's pretty obvious it's a hair picture because it her hair takes up most the picture.
On the real print in her face and on the sky, it's a bit grainy but it's very little.
It's a bit hard to say this is a hair shot but it was the only one of two people I could find. I do like how they have nearly the same hair style and also how it's a natural looking picture.

I really like how this isn't the typical fancy hair picture one thinks of. It's very natural and the lighting, the make up and the fact that it's in black and white it gives it this much more of an edge that I really like.
This picture was taken by Benn Jae, I couldn't find much more about him other than he is from New York City.

Image bank (Flashes and light meters):
Flashes:
- A flash is a device used in photography that produces a flash of artificial light to illuminate what is being photographed.
- When using flash the photograph is being exposed to two lights; the ambient light and the light from the flash.
- Changing the shutter speed won't affect the flash, but changing the ISO will.

Light Meters:
Light Meters:
- It is used to determine the proper exposure for the photograph.
- There are two types of light metering: 1) Reflective: these meters measure the light being reflected off the subject. 2) Incident: these measure the light falling onto the subject.

In this test strip it was too gray and a bit too grainy so then I closed my aperture.

What I really like about this print is how it's very natural and it doesn't look posed. Also since their is looking at the camera they aren't the main focus and because it's a head shoulder shot it's easier to look at the hair. Also I like the contrast between the two hair colours.

Here I went back to the times of the contact sheet because this was shot on a different day than the other prints so the lighting was different. But again it was gray and grainy so I had to close my aperture.

Angle shot:
I really like this picture because the fact that it's a close-up isn't the only thing that makes a person look just at the hair. The model is only wearing black and then she has this nice dark red hair that makes the viewer look at the hair. Regarding the lighting, I like how there is a soft like on her face, and then in the back of her head it's pretty much all black. Also there is a halo in the back of her head that adds a nice touch.
