This week, we explored some more photographic techniques.  Building on the photogram work from last week in the darkroom and using the enlargers.

We started by distressing negatives, literally taking some of the ones we’d got from our medium format shoot then scratching and burning them!  We then started with the same 5 second test strips as before to find the correct exposure, then onto a full A4 print:

Something else we also did was to use various bleaches and dyes to colour photographs and photograms.  I used one of the photograms that I had done the previous week using nuts and screws:
