Course

by obtaining a fully adjustable 35mm camera with changeable shutter speeds and lens apertures

camera allows the proper film speed setting with a light meter

camera allows shutter speeds to be chosen to freeze or blue subject

camera allows the lens aperture to be chosen to control depth-of-field (focus depth)

camera allows the relationship between shutter sped and lens aperture to control exposure

by changing shutter speeds, lens choice and lens aperture

you use fast shutter speeds to freeze the subject while slow shutter speeds blur

you use a normal (50mm) lens to have an average depth of field (DOF) and image perspective (relationship of near and far subjects)

you use a wide angle (24-35mm) lens to have great DOF and a wide perspective

you use a telephoto (85-500mm) lens to have a shallow DOF and a compressed perspective

you use the shutter speed and lens aperture to control film exposure

you use the shutter speed and lens aperture which work inversely

you use a light meter set to the ISO rated film speed for film used

in the photography photo lab

by completing a chemical lab safety quiz

you use splash proof eye protective wear

you use a chemical resistant apron to protect your skin and clothes

you use chemical resistant gloves to protect your skin

you locate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

you report chemical spills to have them properly cleaned and neutralized

you report the development of a chemical sensitivity (skin rash), if noticed to the instructor

you explore the purpose of splash proof eye protective wear

you explore the use of a chemical resistant apron to protect your skin and clothes

you explore the use chemical resistant gloves to protect your skin

you examine the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

you examine how to report a chemical spill so it can be properly cleaned and neutralized

you explore how to report the development of a chemical sensitivity (skin rash), if noticed to the instructor

by submitting properly exposed and processed film

you follow safety procedures

film is loaded on reel to prevent film touches

film is placed in developing tank

you correlate developer temperature with time chart for developing

developer is properly diluted with water

film is cut into strips and placed in negative pages for contact printing

film is of proper density with shadow detail and highlights that are not bullet proof

images on film are sharply focused

by submitting a properly exposed and processed contact sheet

by submitting a properly exposed and processed enlargement

contact sheet shows proper range of contrast (shadow to highlight)

contact sheet is evenly exposed and processed

contact sheet includes all negatives on a film

enlargement is evenly exposed and processed

enlargement shows a minimum of dust spots

enlargement shows proper contrast range

by submitting a properly drymounted print on mount board with no visible dust spots

print is properly aligned (placed) on clean mount board

print is fully adhered to mount board

spotting technique matches the dye tone to gray area surrounding dust spot

by submitting a well composed photograph with subject NOT dead- centered

image does not use focusing ring to center subject in camera frame

photograph is composed using rule of thirds

photograph draws viewer's eye into important part of photograph

extraneous objects are cropped out of the photograph

by submitting a print that includes a depth-of-field controls focus of the subject(s)

lens is set to small aperture to create great wide DOF

lens is set to large aperture to create shallow DOF

depth of field preview button is used to check that key parts of the composition are in focus or not depending on intention

by submitting a print that shows proper contrast between highlights and shadows and good enlarging and processing technique

print is made with proper contrast filter so detail is seen in both shadows and highlights

print is evenly exposed and processed

print shows a minimum of dust spots and film scratches

print is properly fixed and washed to prevent chemical staining

By submitting a print that demonstrates the use of different shutter speeds, keeping the camera still or moving the camera to follow subject (panning)

subject is frozen in time with fast shutter speed

subject is partially blurred with medium shutter speed

subject is totally blurred with slow shutter speed

subject is mostly sharp but background blurred with camera panning

By submitting a print that demonstrates using an electronic flash unit in low (or no) light or in high contrast scenes

print image of subject in motion is frozen by the flash

print image of subject in low (or no) light has proper detail and contrast

print image of subject in high contrast scene has proper detail and contrast in areas of deepest shadow

by submitting a print that demonstrates the holding of the camera steady or the use of a tripod or other non-movable surface

moving subject is blurred while background is frozen

moving subject is sharp while background is blurred

night scenes has low contrast and darker tones

print has feeling of darkness, night and mystery

by submitting a print that has even exposure by burning-in light areas and dodging back dark areas

print highlight areas have some detail and are not blank white

print shadow areas have some detail and are not all black

print shows no obvious signs of exposure manipulation by constantly moving dodging or burning-in tools during exposure

by submitting a photograph of a person or people unposed for the camera

print depicts subject(s) in natural settings unaware of camera

print tells a story about what the subject is doing

print tells a story about the subject's life or personality

by submitting a print of a subject photographed with different colored filters

print depicts color tonalities as seen by viewer with yellow filter (e.g. white clouds against blue sky)

print depicts more dramatic contrast with orange filter (e.g.white clouds against dark blue sky)

print depicts extreme contrast with red filter (e.g. stormy, white clouds against dramatically black sky)print depicts variable contrast with manipulation of polarizing filter (rotating filter will change image contrast)

print depicts variable contrast with manipulation of polarizing filter (rotating filter will change image contrast)
