Even though the household items shoots didn't work out very well I was still really pleased with the few that managed to work. I managed to get some really nice colours. I feel this shoot shows the possibilities of photography that push passed the boundaries of a normal photo, it starts going more into creating abstract colours, shapes and patterns. I like to see this process a bit like making a cake. The camera, the setting, the lighting, the destructive film and the development are all ingredients that have their own effect on the final outcome. Even if you followed the same steps you're still going to get a different result every time, which makes each shoot and shot unique. It would takes an enormous amount of time to be able to re-create some of these shots as I have no control over the elements such as the colours created and the arrangement of the dots ect. What I need to do from here is just see what works well and what doesn't and just continue experimenting. If I were to do another shoot with the lemon juice I'd try only leaving the film in the juice for maybe 2 minutes and see if I managed to get some results then.
I really like the tiny hints of blue and pink seeping into the white area of the image. I also love the little bit of light in the top left hand corner, it reminds me of being underwater and looking up towards the surface.
