I believe the strongest technical aspect of my work is in symmetry piece photogram. For this picture, I used F-stop 11 for four seconds. It is the strongest because of the different values of pure white, jet black and shades of grey, bordered with a crisp white edge. If I could have improved on anything with this work it would be adding more values of grey to this work. Although there is grey, it seems very bland and could have more going on.
What I found easy bout this activity was the independence we had on it. We were able to come up with our own pieces of art, and learn on our own almost by using test strips to determine the F-stop. However, it is frustratingly difficult to end up with a work such as the image of the car in the second picture. I should have thoroughly tested the page because it was exposed to too much light. This would have been a nicer piece had i put some tissue paper behind the image to make it pop.
I demonstrated the objective in this art activity by making different values of color on the photo paper. Depending on how I set the enlarger, altered the amounts of light projected to make the image appear. i was able to make white, grey, and black throughout my photos. If I could do this art activity again, I would try a new picture for my magazine photogram, and test the page with a test strip more carefully.
