Can you guess what this picture on the left is of? At first glance, it might resemble a city or the inner workings of a computer. Upon closer inspection, rows of small items begin to emerge...it is something you have probably seen many times, especially if you have ever been in a grocery store. Have you guessed yet?
That's right, it's an aisle in a grocery store!

Choose an interesting print that has a lot of “connections”.
Crop the image to create a radial design (there should be something coming from the middle to form an X shape). You may have to tilt the easel on an angle to achieve this, just make sure image covers entire easel.
Make the appropriate test strips to determine exposure time, etc.
Make 2 prints.
Carefully remove negative holder and flip it over, so the black side is curved up. Image should be reverse.
RE-FOCUS image and move the easel so that reversed image is cropped the same was as original. You should have one of the original pictures in a tray in your booth to help you correctly reposition easel.
Make a test strip for the same amount of time, compare with original print in classroom light.
