Alright, I’m not a photographer unless your willing to open that up to include anyone who’s taken a picture. I like to think I’ve done my homework as far as taking a picture and processing a film goes, but honestly I don’t feel I can do more than pretend to myself I know what I’m doing at this point. I haven’t had a go at making a print yet but I’ve got a few negatives and I’m at a bit of a loss as to which one is suitable, if any. I’ve read just about everything I can find about evaluating negatives and can’t shake the feeling that I’m making the wrong call on this. I don’t know if it matters but my wife swears I’m colorblind, and if thinking the living room was painted cream when it was apearently green counts she may be right! So here’s my question, which of these negatives is alright for doing a contact print?
I want to say the one in the center, but I feel like it’s too thin. The one on the right seems too dense but maybe it’s just because I can’t help but see the negative as if it were a positive. Then I think alright I’ll go with the one on the left but it doesn’t seem contrasty enough! Any comments at all are welcome. I know I gotta stop caring about doing it “right now” and think about trying to do it “right” but this afternoon in my little work area I’ve just had too much fun to stop!
