Black and White Photography

       As a freshman at Neshaminy high school I took a basic photography class. Although using Adobe Photoshop was interesting,it got old pretty quick. But, the black and white portion of the class was very interesting.  We got to take pictures with an SLR camera and instead of manipulating pictures to fit a topic.  For the assignments in black and white you had some freedom in what you take pictures of when you brought the camera home.  Once you got back to school you got to put the film on the reel in a changing bag so it doesn't get exposed. After you put it in a tank you have to be spot on developing your film. But once you go through that you get to use the enlargers in the dark room to print your pictures and although in the beginning the photos don't always turn out in focus, they will turn out better as you become more experienced.
