The photography classes this year at
Timberlane have been doing more than just developing pictures. They
are working with a new innovation called photograms.
The photogram is a type of print which has been done frequently at
Timberlane during the last two years. The actual developing of
photograms is a very simple technique. It is done by placing objects
onto a piece of photographic paper and then focusing the enlarger
light onto it. After the paper has gone through the chemicals, you
should have a white shadow of your object on a black background.
After this has been done, you may sill add different color dyes to
brighten it up more if you wish. Many campers who have taken
photography have added this step. Some of their prints can be found
on the bulletin board in the lodge.
