Re: Tucking In (Charlotte and Ebony)

Ebony smiled as she heard the tone in Charlotte's voice thinking it sounded like she was interested in it.

"I managed to buy couple of different types of muggle camera's, they are all so cool and it's really fun to mess around with different mediums, i mainly take pictures of friends, family, animals and just my surroundings... I could show you some of my pictures at some point.... that is if you want" she replied a little embarrassed.

Charlotte was really very excited, maybe if she asked nicely enough to Ebony and showed her that she wasn't going to break one of her cameras that she would let her take a few pictures of things, to see if she was any good at it.

"Oh I see, it sounds all very technical to me, but maybe one day in the holidays we will be able to meet up, and perhaps I can see your works and have a go at photographing something?" she asked with a small blush on her cheeks "I would be more than happy to teach you to do something if you wanted."

Ebony smiled.

"That sounds awesome, I have a couple of different camera's, you could try out all of them if you want" she smiled. she was really excited about possibly showing her work and maybe teaching her to use the camera's.

"I can show you how all the camera's work and processing them if you want" she smiled.

"It would be lovely if you could teach me... maybe a little sculpting or painting?" she asked beaming a little as she looked over.

Charlotte didn't want to seem ignorant but she didn't know what the difference between different cameras were, and she deliberated a little bit before she decided that she would ask Ebony what the difference was, when it came to muggle technology she really wasn't very good.

"What are the differences between different types of camera then?" she asked, tilting her head to one side "I don't know much about them so."

Nodding happily Charlotte smiled widely; "Oh yes I would love to know how they work, it would make me very happy to learn something new."

When she was asked if she would be able to teach Ebony to paint or to do scupltures, Charlotte nodded her head with a happy smile on her lips, it was always her pleasure to teach people new things; "Of course I will, i'll teach you both if you want."

Ebony smiled softly, she was really happy yo find someone that had the same interest as hers.

"Well, there are a couple of different types of camera, there's polariod, digital and film, the main differences are just the way you print the pictures and the process you use to do so, a digital camera you upload them onto the computing, polariod the images come stright out of the camera onto the paper you put in it and film you have to go into a dark room and process it" she smiled.

"I'll show you how they all work properly so you can actually see if you want, i have a digital camera with me so you can try that out while we're in school if you want and that sounds awesome, it would be so kind of you to show me how to paint and sculpt, I'll warn you know though it will probably take a lot of patience with me as i'm pretty terrible" she said with a faint blush on her cheeks as she scratched the back of her head sheepishly.

Charlotte focused her attention on Ebony and tried to drown out all of the background noise from the people getting up and leaving the Great Hall after their meals had finished. She wanted to be able to pay attention to what Ebony said, interested as she was in photography.

There seemed to be a lot of different skills involved, but she didn't think that it would be something she couldn't handle with a lot of practice.

"It sounds like it's going to be hard to get the hang of it, but I'm guessing that the dark room is more like the Wizard way of developing photographs, if you want to make them have the motion." Charlotte thought, wiggling her hands as she said motion.

Shaking her head when Ebony said that she was terrible, Charlotte knew that there wasn't anyone who was terrible at art, just those who didn't know what their style was just yet.

"Well you know what they say, in every person is 1000 bad drawings, so its best to get them out of the way quick."

"Actually, a dark room is a muggle thing... I thought it was a wizard thing too but my dad taught me about it, I don't actually know how you process photographs to move, i only know how to do it with magic but there must be a process that doesn't use spells" she replied, also drowning out everyone else.

"I've heard that saying somewhere before but i can't remember where... and i seem to have had way more that 1000 bad drawings" she continued as she shook her head gently before smiling slightly as everyone left the hall and it was quiet again

Charlotte smiled gently she knew that she used a potion in order to make the paintings move, perhaps it would be something that was copied over to developing the photographs in a magical way. Although she did not know, perhaps she should find a book about it.

"Well I use potions for my paintings to make them move, maybe you can use them on photographs too. I would very much like to learn how to develop film properly when I come to your house."

Laughing a little, Charlotte shook her head, she did not think that Ebony would be too bad of a drawer at all and that she would just need some more confidence to build up.

"Maybe I will have to see this drawing sometime." she smiled "I'm sure it's not as bad as you think."

by **Ebony Summers** Wed May 16, 2012 9:10 am

Ebony smiled softly.

"Would you mind telling me the potion, I could try it on a couple of photographs i have with me and I can try it out in different ways, like before processing, during processing and after processing" Ebony said as she looked over at her.

"I'll teach you all I know about it when you come around" she said as she smiled a little more.

Ebony laughed lightly as she looked over at Charlotte.

"Just um... don't have very high expectations of them, I think they are somewhere in my case"

by **Charlotte Smith** Wed May 16, 2012 9:58 pm

Charlotte smiled, but could not help the small yawn that came out of her lips, she was getting very tired and she needed to get back to sleep because she had classes in the morning tomorrow. However she did not want to seem rude by asking to go to bed.

"Well I normally just buy the ones that come pre made, I think I have some of it left upstairs, I can show you tomorrow if you would like me to." she smiled lightly.

A small giggle escaped Charlotte's lips and she shook her head, she didn't think that she would laugh at anyones drawing, for all drawings were precious to her in one way or another.

"I promise I wont laugh at or think badly of your drawings, but do you think we should head to bed before the Professors start to get on the Firewhiskey?" she asked, pointing to some of the Professors already downing some shots.

Ebony was also getting pretty tired and she saw that Charlotte was also tired.

"That would be really cool, if you wouldn't' mind me checking it out" she smiled.

Ebony giggled softly but nodded.

"Yeah... it's getting pretty late and there's class tomorrow" she said quietly as she slowly stood up and looked over, smiling as she walked with Charlotte to the common room.
