Photography Workshop - Journalism Classroom [5/31]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica was waiting in the front of the journalism classroom for all of her students. She had come in early and prepped the darkroom.

Once everyone had arrived and was seated, she smiled.

"Good morning guys. There is coffee, but if you want some, you need to have it now, because there will be no food or drink allowed in the dark room."

She passed out and went over a handout detailing the developing process, along with the safety rules she expected them to follow in the darkroom.

"Most importantly," she concluded. "If you have any questions related to the film developing process, do not hesitate to ask."



[please to be waiting for the ocd has been accomplished!]

Develop Photos (in the darkroom)

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

you may chat with each other while you're developing your photos, but no fooling around (of any kind) will be tolerated.

Cameron was staring down at the instructions and seriously wondering why the fates had put him in this class anyway. Taking pictures, he could manage. Maybe. This? Completely insane.

"Just follow the steps," Veronica said, noticing that Cam seemed hesitant.

"Sure, easy as pie," Cameron said lightly and took off his watch so he could time the different baths better.

"Just like cooking," he muttered to himself as he set to developping his film role with not only his blue (http://cameronmitchell.livejournal.com/70973.html), leaves (http://multi-madrox.livejournal.com/4448.html?thread=133472#t133472) and Earth (http://touchablemarie.livejournal.com/2532.html?thread=56804#t56804) picture but also some of Tyler with a banana (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/877765.html?thread=41749957#t41749957) and the stickbug flag (http://bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com/9162.html?thread=291018#t291018). "Not that I'd want to try and drink any of this..."

"Those are gorgeous," Veronica said, looking at his 'blue' pictures. Then she noticed the others and cracked up. "You better be careful," she teased. "Or else you'll reveal the secrets and get kicked out of the society."

Cameron grinned. "Isn't there a student confidality thingie in place for the workshops?"

Bel looked warily at the chemicals involved, then worked on developing his photos: blue, earth, and leaves. He seemed pleased with his results.

Re: Develop Photos (in the darkroom)

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica looked over Bel's shoulder.

"Very nice," she replied, looking at his photos for blue and earth. But she gave him a quizzical look. "Did you miss a step on the developing process for that one?" she asked.

Re: Develop Photos (in the darkroom)

[demonbelthazor]

"No," Bel said. "It's supposed to be a picture of an empty space."

Re: Develop Photos (in the darkroom)

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Veronica said, still obviously confused.

Re: Develop Photos (in the darkroom)

[demonbelthazor]

Bel looked around and dropped his voice so only Veronica would hear. "It's a picture of Angel," he said cheerfully. "Well, it would've been, except he left. Leaves."

Mixing the chemicals carefully, Zack started developing his film.

Re: Develop Photos (in the darkroom)

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Have you done this before?" Veronica asked.

Re: Develop Photos (in the darkroom)

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I have." Zack replied as he agitated the film drum.

Veronica smiled. "It's nice to have someone in the class that knows what they're doing," she said. "And I'm looking forward to your photos."

Nadia followed the instructions on mixing the chemicals carefully. Well, as carefully as one could when reading in the dark room. She started developing her picture for blue and earth and leaves, hoping at least one came out properly.

Re: Develop Photos (in the darkroom)

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica snickered at Nadia's picture for blue, but blinked a lot for her other photos.

"Explain please," she finally said after a few long moments.

Re: Develop Photos (in the darkroom)

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia fidgeted a bit. "It's a . . . human-shaped representation of earth and leaves. The, um, directional light creating the silohuette represents . . . how seldomly we see the details about the earth and the environment in our modern setting. Nature has stayed . . . mysterious? Even though we think we understand it more through science, we're still a bit afraid of it. And that makes the earth . . . sad." She frowned. "That's why the swamp thing is both menacing and melancholy at the same time?"

Yeah, she totally made that up on the spot. Somehow "John recommended doing the swamp thing thing and I forgot to take the pictures until late last night" didn't seem like it would be a very good explanation.

"Okay," Veronica said. "You certainly get bonus points for creativity. Who is that? And how'd you get them to pose for you like that?"

Buffy was deeply focused on her job, as she wanted her photos to come out perfect. After going alternately too dark and too light and too red on several of her images, she finally got her class project done. There were leaves (http://pics.livejournal.com/1ordinarygirl/pic/0007drsb/g13), blue (http://pics.livejournal.com/1ordinarygirl/pic/0007f3rg/g13) and a camp fire (http://pics.livejournal.com/1ordinarygirl/pic/0007ecg8/g13) and a plate with smores on (http://pics.livejournal.com/1ordinarygirl/pic/0007gkr0/g13) to represent earth.

School work done, she went on to the real fun; Developing her roll of boykissy (http://pics.livejournal.com/1ordinarygirl/gallery/0000e6ec) pictures.

"Yay boykissy," Jaye greets her.

Re: Develop Photos (in the darkroom)

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy beamed at her. "Yay boykissy! I have pictures." She pointed down at one developing right there. A very eager Jaye was visible behind Anakin and Sam.

[fates_jaye]

Jaye looks at the picture and asks, "Wanna be my new best friend?"

Re: Develop Photos (in the darkroom)

[fates_jaye]

Jaye had actually handwavily taken her pictures yesterday, mostly of random stuff. A coffee cup for blue, a globe keychain for earth, and some random Canada shot glass for leaf. Because you don't live that close to the Canadian border without stopping in a gift shop every now and then.

Now she's just trying not to ruin them.

Elizabeth stuck her tongue out in concentration as she mixed the chemicals together to develop a close up of fallen leaves (http://notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com/23312.html?thread=755984#t755984), a close up of Sam's eye (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/613411.html?thread=36730403#t36730403) and a *handwavey* photo of a wee!tiny rabbit burrow she'd found. There was also a picture of Janet (http://notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com/23312.html?thread=747280#t747280) in their cabin.
