*Project (optional) Shoot one roll of film Reel the roll of film Develop roll of film General photography - image, composition, and techniques Rule of thirds (reminder/refresher) Lighting – huge!!! Demonstration on RGB Outdoor: Raking Glare/Harsh, using the sun and reflectors Indoor: Natural vs unnatural Portrait Expressive Depth of field Action
Night shots *Sunlight sensitive paper Digital Photography Brief recent history Cameras (advantages and disadvantages) Filmless, but needs memory “Point and Shoot” to D-SLR’s Care and precautions (storing, cleaning, use) The camera – technical The Manual Screen Buttons
Modes Setting
Charging Memory Cards Playback Printing (printing your own or sending them in to be printed) Digital (computer adjustments and/or enhancements)
Outdoor/nature, low lighting, action, close-up, portrait, depth of field… *Project – the final 15! Presentation: all 15 saved as your name on my USB, and titled by photograph assignment. Also, all 15 should be printed with required information written on the backside of the photo. Finally, your best three printed photographs need to be mounted/matted. Paperwork Written assignments Quizzes Test
Self-critique of final project (individual photographs and overall) There will be a quiz after each section discussed and a cumulative exam at the end. Expect to take pictures outside of class. You will be spending time working with your camera, subjects, lighting and composition – plan for this to take time! Then, get creative with your photos! Questions? First try to seek the answer with resources provided and ask your peers. If you cannot find it, then please ask me. I may, for learning purposes, suggest a reading or guide you in finding your own answers. I will, however, confirm a correct answer or correct an insufficient answer.

Week 9: Matt, written test, and camera check in Photographic Vocabulary albumen print - an old technique in which salt was beaten into egg white, painted on paper, then sensitized with silver nitrate and dried in the dark; when dry, it was contact-printed aperture - the opening of a camera lens that is expressed in F numbers ASA (American Standards Association) - a number such as 100,160, 200, 400, etc., that represents the speed of the film; means the same as ISO 100 exposure box camera - a simple camera invented in 1888 by George Eastman in which the entire camera was sent in for the film to be developed, reloaded, and returned to the sender bracketing - taking the same subject several times by doubling and halving the exposure to assure a good print bulk loader - a holder for film in long rolls (normally 100 ft.) that allows you to roll as many exposures as needed into a cartridge burning-in - the darkroom process of giving greater exposure to an area that is too light calotype (Talbotype) - waxed paper sensitized with silver iodide and developed, then contact printed, invented by William Henry Fox Talbot carbon prints - made by coating paper with powdered carbon, gelatin, and dichromate before exposing and printing. camera obscura (literally dark room) - a box first used by Aristotle (384-322 bc) to concentrate light onto the back of a dark box through a small opening in the front; a tool used by such artists as Vermeer, Leonardo da Vinci, and Canaletto cartridge (cassette) - the light-tight metal or plastic container in which film is sold close-up lens - a lens that is placed on the end of a normal lens to bring small things into focus contact printing - before the enlarger was invented, photographers placed negatives on sensitized paper under glass, and printed directly onto the paper by exposing to direct sunlight cyanotype (blueprint) - the process developed by Sir John Herschel to make a print from a high contrast negative daguerreotype - system originated by Louis Daguerre who coated a polished copper plate with silver iodide, exposed it, then developed it in mercury vapor depth-of-field - the degree of sharpness of a photograph in front or in back of the area focused on; the smaller the lens opening, the sharper the depth of field dodging - the darkroom process of holding back light to make an area lighter double exposure - exposing film or paper twice, with sometimes interesting results emulsion - a light-sensitive solution that is transferred to paper or film electronic flash - a separate flash unit that is synchronized to go off as the lens opens; varying degrees of flash duration will be used depending on time and distance from the subject F stop (aperture) - the size of the lens opening is an F stop; the smaller the opening (F22 for example), the greater the depth of field will be field camera - camera with lens, bellows, and a spring back that allows a sheet film holder to be inserted between the lensboard and the back of the camera filters - small glass circles that are screwed to the front of the camera for various purposes: to increase contrast; use with infrared film; convert outdoor film for indoor use; or help eliminate reflections fish eye lens - an extreme wide-angle lens (180°) that will give a distorted center area fixer (hypo) - the chemical used in developing that makes an image permanent grain - irregular clumps of silver on the photographic image; higher ISO gives more grain highlight - a reflection in the eye of a subject; the lightest part of the film ISO (International Standards Organization) - a term interchangeable with ASA that is a rating of the emulsion speed of the film macro lens - a lens for close-up work panning - swinging the camera horizontally as the photo is exposed, causing a moving subject to "stop" while blurring the background, emphasizing the subject's motion panoramic camera - a swiveling camera that photographed an area of 150°, and was used for large views or photographs of large groups of people photo floods - light bulbs specially balanced for film, usually used with reflectors on standards photogram - Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Man Ray were masters of this technique in which objects are placed directly on photo paper which is then exposed to light and developed photocollage - created by cutting up photographs and mounting them on a support background photomontage - a darkroom process in which multiple negatives are printed on the same sheet of paper through masking exposed areas pinhole camera - a light-tight box (shoe box, oatmeal box, etc.) made into a camera by making a pinhole in a piece of foil, exposing photographic paper or sheet film inside the box Polaroid® Land camera - camera that takes an instant picture precisionism - a "school" of photography that recorded factories, machinery, and other unromantic subjects; sometimes called the immaculates props - the backdrop, toys, chairs, columns beloved by Victorian photographers; items such as costumes used in contemporary work to give meaning to a composition reflected light reading - measurement of the light reflected from the subject to the meter reflex camera - through a system of mirrors, the image is reflected on a ground glass screen; reflex cameras are single lens (SLR) or twin lens (TLR) resin coated (RC) paper - printing paper treated with a synthetic resin; prints and dries faster retouching - applying a dilute color or black to remove flaws sensitized - film or photographic paper is sensitive to light after specific chemicals are applied shutter release - a mechanical device that exposes the film for a desired time period shutter speed - the amount of time a shutter is open; this generally ranges from B (which will keep it open indefinitely) to Vfcooo of a second solarization - a reversal of tones, as in the Sabattier effect, but as a result of prolonged exposure or exposure to an extremely bright light tripod - a three-legged adjustable stand that screws into the bottom of a camera to hold it steady view camera (field camera) - term usually applied to a large box camera mounted on a tripod vignette - to darken or lighten the edges of a photo through adding or holding back light Photographic Time Line FIRST DISCOVERIES IN PHOTOGRAPHY
