Pastiche Processing and Printing..

Today, I processed my film from when I went to Broadstairs to shoot my pastiche, and began printing. The images I took on the beach of first the cliff faces and then the beach huts came out really nicely. However, after I took some shots on the beach I went into the town and found a park, as I wanted a few more shots with "greenery" in them for the other part of my environment project, I over exposed most of the images from the park and unfortunately couldn't use them. I intend to go into Rochester soon and up to the castle as I really love the space up there and have a personal connection to it. 
I shot my photos for both tasks in the environment project in black and white, because the work I was drawing most inspiration from were mainly black and white. I find printing black and white hard and extremely frustrating so today has been rather stressful for me!
My pastiche was the hardest photo for me to print as I couldn't get the right amount of contrast I wanted. I finally decided that even though the final print I have now isn't of the highest standard, I actually quite liked the effect it had on the feeling of the photo. This is my print. 
(this is just a quick photo, it is a lot darker and more yellow than the actual print, I will re scan it soon)



I intend to go back and reprint all my environment photographs after the interim deadline, because the standard is not where I want it to be, but I feel like they are good enough to show my current understanding of shooting, processing and printing.
