Trials And Errors With The Enlarger


When I went to make full frame enlargements I used the following parameters on the enlarger. I wanted to take a picture and experiment with the light and see if I could get a maximum black within the time frame. 

  Enlarger #16 B

2-5 seconds

Enlarger Hight 27 inches

Filter # 2

Lens Apature 2.8

The following picture you can see the gradation between the time frames exposing the light sensitive paper. The top segment was an exposure at 2 second and the next darkest one was around 3 seconds. I realized that the picture itself was not level with the easel and resulted in a tilted picture. There is also a section on the right where the frame of the easel was over too far and gave this very black line down the print.
