- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hi my name is Adam I am in my third year as a photo major at school. I may have bit off a little more then I could chew with my final photo project. I have recently started playing with liquid light and thought it would be a fun project to do for a final is to put images of skateboarders on broken skateboards. The first one came out fine nice over all tonality of the print. How ever I ran into a bit of a problem. Some of my negatives lack contrast which is making the image very gray and flat. I have no blacks or whites. I tried scanning the negatives adding contrast in photoshop and contact printing them. I also tried making a negative to enlarge in photoshop the only problem is the ink-jet transparencies have these little bumps I suppose to grab the ink and it is causing dark dots on my prints almost like it is pixelated.
My question is how can I make the liquid light more contrasty? My teacher suggested developing in straight dektol. Another teacher said that may not work.
A little background these are skateboards broken in half. Coated with some white matte spray paint and a coat of clear polyurethane on top.
Any help would be great my crit is TUESDAY!
Thanks,
Adam
