Contact print for 35mm film

Contact prints are a good way to see what photographs you have taken. You do this by using a contact board which has slides you connect your negatives to. Before i use a full piece of photographic paper i always do a test sheet of 5 second intervals. To do this you need a back board preferably A4 size. I think it is up to you in what way you do it but i got shown when i attended Southport College to start by exposing the light by 5 second interval and every 5 seconds move your black piece of card through the paper then expose the hole piece of photographic paper for 5 seconds. You can do it the other way around to.  This is what mine looked like when doing so:

5 second intervals. The darker it is the longer it has been exposed to light, so you would count up in 5's, the darker part at the top was exposed for a total of 30 seconds.

In this case i thought the best exposure time would be 15 seconds maximum exposure time.

This it the result of a 15 second exposure time.

After doing this print i drew on it showing what photographs i intend to use for the project by drawing round the picture. 

Here is another contact print of more photographs taken. I couldn't fit all the negatives in to the neg board so had to do to contact sheets.

Nots i have but down showing me what thoughts i have on the shot and also the settings i had at the time of the shot taken as a reference for me in the future.
