I've recently started an A level course in photography and the project brief is 'Walls, Halls and Corridors'. This is the second shoot but there first was a very quick one that we had one day to go out and get some pictures basically to get to grips with what to do.

This second shoot is the first one for our project (walls, halls and corridors). I went round my village for a bit and found some pretty took these images with a cheap film camera (school supplied) then scanned them in using an expensive scanner at school at 3600DPi. I've digitally changed them a bit with regards to basic contrast, brightness and exposure on Adobe Photoshop.
My teacher and me, are really pleased with these but I thought I'd just see what some other people think from this forum.

I picked out my favorites... 15 of them from a 24 role of film
I do have much better quality digital copies but it would take forever to upload them...
I did a copy from the PNG format images and saved them all again as JPEG - Quality on 0, via Photoshop.

Not really my kind of style and a few are out of focus or just too much going on (e.g. 5, 7, 10, & 11) but I do like 1, 8 and 12.

P.S. Could you put numbers on them in future? It was a nightmare trying to scroll up and down counting!

I think you should have made more use of DOF, would have liked to see a couple in color, I know you shot film! Its a good start though.

Ya I thought the same thing about a bit more depth of field too... TBH I didn't really think enough about the settings this shoot.
As to the comment on colour its purely a B&W course so I couldn't use the colour pics for the project but also I wouldn't know how to develop it etc...
For black and white we just develop(ID11 or something), stop and fix (or fix and stop cant remember the order ) ...
so ya its B&W and thanks for the comments, keep 'em coming

Nice first start,with the B&W making the textures work well.
I like 8 & 13 best

for me though they lack a direction.The theme of your course is walls,halls and corridors.why not get creative...Id be thinking textures,angles,leading lines and vanishing points........... just an idea

Ive never done an A level so I might not be the best person to be advising you

All the best with your course
