FuNNY CaPTioNS!!

The city of Austin has been ordered to release

all monkeys from work because of disruptions

in society and confusion on the streets. Although it has been said that they have the same intelligence as humans, they will no longer be allowed to work along side us in the work force because of one's latest mistake. "sotp" has caused many complications in our society and has resulted

in sad consequences.

Oscar the cat suits up in his

army gear as he prepares to

battle fluffy the miniature poodle.

This fight resulted after a verbal

confrontation that took place in the

park earlier that week.

After throwing a hissy fit

at her former hair salon,
Ms. Piggy states that she

will never go to Susie's

Sassy Hair Salon ever
again after what they have
done to her gorgeous pink
hair. She pressed charges
later that day for the
damage they did and the
emotional trauma they
caused.

9/11 CoMPoSiTioN!!

BALANCE

The horses facing opposite directions and overlapping in the middle makes them even on both sides. This allows the photo to be very well balanced.

AVOIDING MERGERS

This pictures shows mergers in the boy and the man. They're legs and feet are both cut out of the picture. Also the head of the lady in the righ corner is a little cut off.

RULE OF THIRDS

The offset of the still standing building to the right corner demonstrates thirds. It really compliments the photo as opposed to just being in the middle.

SIMPLICITY

The plain sky and the bland color of the clouds behind the flag really bring out the color in the flag and makes all the focus mainly on the flag. This is a simple photo because of the background that really pushes out the flag and the people holding it.

LINES

I think that this photo really forces you to look at the person sitting in the middle of this empty room. The lines of the pews and just the dull color of them really make the bandana on the person stand out leading you to them.

FRAMING

In this picture the dark broken walls of the building frame the smoke filled room and really pull your eye towards the center object of the picture which is the whole room basically falling apart.

aFTeR PRiNTiNG PoST!!

Before I made my picture, I had to clean my negatives because they had water spots. I dipped them in a photo cleaner solution and then used special photo wipes to clean the spots off.
The negatives were loaded into the enlarger on a little thing kind of like a slide and you could see the picture on the bottom.
On the side of the enlarger there is a round focuser that focuses the image. You turn it until you think its focused right. When you think it's right you have to use this magnifying glass and place it directly under the light so that it reflects into it to make sure it's perfect. You want to see little grains.
I put a strip of photo paper under the enlarger and set the timer for the lighting at different times so when I was done I had different exposures on my test strip.
I picked the exposure I thought was best and then did everything over again but on the full photo sheet and made my final picture. I ran it through the chemicals for the required times and then let it dry.
