First trip around Hartlepool



First trip around Hartlepool

I thought my first trip around Hartlepool went well but when I came out of the deep tank room after processing I realised that it had been a waste of time because my only reasonable photo had light damage at the top. Therefore I don’t think it’s worth talking about further. My other photo is pretty poor because the car is too distracting. When I originally framed the photo I thought it was alright but there was a tiny bit of car poking in so I tried to involve it in the photo by bringing it more towards the centre. After spending ten minutes trying to get the best picture possible it started to rain so I didn’t spend much time after that trying get it right and I just took it. If I’ve learnt anything from this shoot it is not to get your hopes up until you’re holding a properly developed negative in your hand and to stay calm when you’re shooting, even if it starts raining. It’s not worth wasting a piece of film.
During the drying stage someone put their prints on top of mine so there are white tear marks on the prints; which isn’t a big problem because I knew that I wasn’t going to be using them before I properly finished processing.  So even though I couldn’t see the detail it doesn’t really matter on this occasion.
