ISO Speed
is the indication of how sensitive a film was to light. The lower the number the lower the sensitivity of the film and the finer the grain in the shots you’re taking (sizes: 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200). When the ISO speed is higher the picture is grainer and the quality decreases.
When I think of a famous photo the first thing that comes to mind is this photo. I think this photograph is very artist because of the contrasting colors that create dimension and drama.
Some of my favorite photographs are of wildlife. I have always wanted to go on a safari to take pictures. I think some of the best photos of animals come from the wild when they are in their natural environment. Photographs of animals are often full of texture, pattern and depth making them visually interesting.

Depth of Field
is the distance between the foreground and background of the subject that appears to be in focus. When you change the depth of field it is not an immediate transition form sharp to unsharp but instead a gradual transition from sharpness to fuzziness to totally out of focus.

is measured in seconds – or in most cases fractions of seconds. The bigger the denominator the faster the speed (ie 1/1000 is much faster than 1/30).
This picture was taken by me of the Sacre Coeur.

How to Develop your Negatives
1. Developer (1 mL developer : 9 mL water)
50 mL developer + 450 mL of water (one film roll)
60 mL developer + 550 mL of water (two film rolls)
2. Water - 500 mL (one film roll)
600 mL (two film rolls)
3. Fixer - is already dilluteted (1 mL Fixer : 4 mL Water)
100 mL fixer + 400 mL water = 500 mL (one film roll)
600 mL (two film rolls)
***take the little bit of film you cut off your negative and test the strength of the fixer, make sure of the clarity***
*water is always 20 degrees

flip the container vertically once
every 30 seconds flip the container vertically 1x for 6 minutes
pour the developer back into the bin
2. pour the Water into the container
shake/ swish the water around for 30 seconds (rinses developer off film)
pour the Water back into the bin
3. pour the Fixer into the container
flip the container vertically for 30 seconds
then take a break for 15 seconds and flip for 15 seconds for 3 minutes
pour the Fixer back into the bin
4. pour the Water into the container
5. take the film out of the water and put it in a container of clean water
6. wash the film with special stripping shampoo and then rinse off the shampoo
6. put the cleaned film back in the container of clean water and leave it in the sink under running water for 15 minutes

Name:
Amanda Hocevar
Part I. Technical Review (40 points)
Suppose your camera has the following settings:
aperture f1.8 f2.8 f4 f5.6 f8
f11 f16 f22
shutter B 1 2
4 8 15 30 60 125
250 500 1000
(It is a manual slr film camera with a 50mm 1:1.8 lens.)
1. Which
f-stop allows the most light in?
f 1.8
2. Which
allows the least?
f 22
3. Which will
give the most depth of field?
f 1.8
4. What does depth-of-field mean?
Depth-of-field is the amount of
distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably
sharp focus in a photograph
5. Where is the aperture diaphragm located?
The
diaphragm stops light from passing into the camera lens while the diaphragm aperture
can be adjusted to let light in (maximum aperture – largest f-stop, minimum aperture
– smallest f-stop)
6. How is
aperture measured?
Aperture
is measured using f-stops (the bigger the f-stop the smaller the aperture, the
smaller the f-stop the bigger the aperture).
The f-stop determines how much light is allowed to pass through the
diaphragm, ex. a big f-stop number means more light is needed and a little
f-stop number means less light is needed.
7. Which
f-stop allows half the amount of light as f5.6?
f 11
8. Which
allows twice the light as f5.6?
f 2.8
9. What
does focal length refer to?
Focal
length refers to the distance from the object in focus to the lens of the
camera.
10. Besides
aperture, what is another factor that affects depth of field?
Three
things affect the depth of field: 1. the f/stop, 2.the focal length of the
lens, 3. the distance to the subject
11. Where
is the depth of field scale located (on a traditional slr)?
The depth
of field scale is located in the lens near the diaphragm.
12. What
is the shutter and what does it control?
The shutter
acts as a door inside the camera that opens and closes allowing light to expose
the film for a given amount of time (that's why pictures can be overexposed –
too much light or under exposed – not enough light)
13. How is
shutter speed measured?
Shutter speed is measured in seconds – or in
most cases fractions of seconds. The bigger the denominator the faster the
speed (ex. 1/1000 s is much faster than 1/30 s). Shutter speed typically has the following
intervals (quick to slow): 1/1000 s, 1/500 s, 1/250 s, 1/60 s, 1/30 s, 1/15 s,
1/8 s, ¼ s, ½ s, 1 s.
14. Where
is the shutter located?
The
shutter is located in the camera behind the lens.
15. What
kind of shutter speed is needed in low light conditions?
In low
light conditions a slower shutter speed is needed to capture the best
photography.
16. What
does “B” refer to?
“B” refers
to a shutter speed setting “bulb” that allows you to keep the shutter open for
as long as you are holding down the capture button.
17. What
is the safest slow shutter speed without a tripod?
1/30 s
18. Which
ss allows twice as much light as “60”(1/60)?
1/30 s
19. Which
allows half as much light as “60”?
1/125 s
20. (4
points) On a given day, your camera gives you a correct reading of f4
at 250. What other configurations would give you the same amount of
light and a greater depth of field? (list four ways).
1. f 5.6 @
1/125 s 2. f 8 @ 1/60 s 3. f 11 @ 1/30 s 4. f 16 @ 1/15 s
21. Which
would give you the same amount (as above) of light and allow you to create a
blurred picture of a speeding car?
f 8, 1/60 s
22. Which
shutter speed would give you the same amount of light (as above, question 20)
at f2.8?
f 2.8 @ 1/500
s
23. On a
shadowy area with a bright sky, how would you insure a correct exposure of
a subject in shadow?
f 11 @ 1/250
s or f
8 @ 1/250 s
24. (4
p)Which is a better setting, f4 at 1/60, or f 16 at 1/4 ? Say why.
f 4 @ 1/60 s is the better setting because it would give you a
sharper image since the aperture is bigger and the camera speed is not fast but
not slow (middle).
f 16 @ ¼ s is the worse setting because these settings would
give you a blurry image because the diaphragm is small and the shutter sped is
too slow.
25. What
does ISO refer to?
ISO refers
to how sensitive a film was to light. The lower the
number the lower the sensitivity of the film and the finer the grain in the
shots you’re taking (sizes: 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200). When the
ISO speed is higher the picture is grainer and the quality decreases.
26. What
is a fast film and when should it be used?
Fast film
is a very sensitive film used to produce grainy photos.
27. What
is the major problem with fast films?
The major
problem is these pictures are very grainy – noisy.
28. What
are the three chemical steps used in printing a photograph?
1. 2 minutes in developer
2. 30 seconds in water (rinse off the developer)
2. 2-3 minutes in fixer
29. List
two (2 p) ways exposure is controlled in the darkroom.
1. strength
of the time
2. length of exposure time
30. How is contrast manipulated in the darkroom?
Contrast is manipulated by the filter used on the enlarger
