Photography - Back in the darkroom

This is the first week of Summer Session II and the start to my photography 2 class. It's been like over 6 years since I've been in the dark room. I had taken photography 1, 2 and advanced darkroom at Queensborough as electives towards my AA degree. Unfortunatly they didn't transfer over as matching credited courses >_<. So I have to retake photo 2. For our first assignment, we made pin-hole camera neg/prints made from old photo paper boxes. It was oky.


I don't know how I'm liking the class or not. It's a mixed class, meaning it's mostly photography 1 students with a few 2 and 3's. It's great to be back in the darkroom I missed it lots. I also signed up to be a lab monitor so I have access when I need it (which is a great thing cause the class is quite crowded).



This time round I'm using a fully manual SLR (thankees Donald for letting me borrow it). My other SLR is a Minolta Maxxum, which has auto settings along with Manual, shutter priority and aperture priority, which I tended to use way too much ;).
