Liquid Light
For this stage I used this as an experiment with the process, as this was my first time with using liquid light. The outcome of these creations weren't the main focus for me as I wanted to this stage to show how these processes take time to get right and you have to trial the times and other aspects of these alternative processes.
Step One:
All steps when taken place in the darkroom, as the solution can not be exposed to light. The first step I did was to use a bottle warmer to warm up the liquid light solution as it starts as a sold and once warmed it is a liquid. when the solution was a liquid I was able to then pour it into a glass cup and keep this in the bottle warmer, which made sure that it stayed as a liquid.
Step Two:
The next step is to use a wide, dense paint brush to paint on the liquid light solution, onto my pieces of paper. I then allowed this to dry properly. Once dried I then took the paper which had liquid light solution on and exposed this under the enlarger, which I had set up before hand with a strip of film that was photographs of natural forms. I placed my paper in the right position and then projected the image onto the paper for the selected amount of time.
Step Three:
After this I then took the paper to the developing process, where I when through the steps of placing it in developer then the stopper, then the fix and finishing with the wash. I then allowed them to dry and the process what complete and the image that I had chosen was created into a liquid light form.
Timing & Exposer
Here is were I have looked at how long the enlarger needs to be exposing the paper for. I first stared off by doing every 3 seconds for 4 sections, which didn't show the image very clearly and then after this I tried 4 seconds for each section which made the image more clearer. from this I tried exposing the full sheet for more time.
