The colour came out quite different on the OHP paper, more greenish and yellowish but I think I like it better.
I had to re-print a few because the prints are so delicate and I scratched a few, also because a few of them were too light to be seen on transparency paper.
Thinking that I was on the home stretch, I bought myself some double-sided tape for mounting and went in search of a suitable window, only to find that the prints didn't show up on a transparent surface. Some turned completely clear both on sunny and dark windows. Also, things in the background distracted me from the image.
So at the last minute I was now searching for a suitable wall, and once I calmed down I realized that the perfect space for my work was still available, so I guess I was quite lucky there.
I ended up mounting my work with pins an inch or so out on a nice white wall at the end of the corridor, so hopefully it catches a bit of breeze from time to time so that the images flutter.
In the end my presentation turned out better than what I'd expected. Mounting my images on the wall with pins looked better than a window display ever could, and I think it had more relevance to my subject matter due to the way it shimmers and flutters.
My only complaints about the presentation is that I didn't consider that the glossy side of the prints would look best, and how when I flipped them around they would then be backwards. Of course, no-one else realized that my prints were backwards, but it still bothers me.
My other gripe is that I put the prints up in the wrong order. At first I thought my new arrangement looked better but now I've decided that the original order would have looked much better due to a better balance of alternating light and dark prints.
