final Flashcards
What three things control the exposure on the camera
- shutter stop
- aperture
- ISO (400 is ours)
which ISO speed do we use on our cameras
400
what does the shutter control?
- TIME that light hits film (think of shutter curtain)
2. motion/movement
we set iso to 400 because we use 400 speed film? (t or f)
true
which aperture creates the largest depth of field (foreground to background in focus)
- small hole opening
- f 22 (or 32)
which aperture would create a shallow (only focal point is focused) depth of field?
- large hole opening
- f 1.4
can test strips go in dryer?
false
chemical sets in processing NEGATIVES
- water
- developer
- water
- fix
- water
- photo-flo
best means of holding a camera to get a good sharp picture is
using a tripod
if your shutter is set to B it means:
- Bulb
2. the shutter stays open until you take your finger off the shutter release
bluing and staining will occur if the print is not correctly
washed or fixed
a pinhole camera is
- a light tight box
- small version of the camera obscura
if the NEGATIVE from your pinhole camera turns black, did you over or under expose
over expose image
time for a PRINT to be in fixer
4-5 minutes (negatives at 10)
if your NEGATIVE in your pinhole turns out black what should you do
reduce exposure time
contrast refers to
RANGE of values (black and white) on film or print
to create motion blur you would need
- a slow shutter speed 1/60
2. use a tripod
agitation keeps chemicals in gentle motion:
- for film
- for paper
- for even flow of chemicals
- ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!!!!
what is the greatest cause of a blurry negative?
camera movement/ camera shake
which is the emulsion side of the FILM (negative)
matte black
a print should have what type of values?
range of values between black and white
making a test strip is one way to determine
exposure time
in the printing process, the ______ side of the negative faces the ___________ emission side of the photographic paper.
emulsion. emulsion.
the black film loading bag is light tight
true
if a PRINT appears too dark after being in the developer for for the correct time, what should you do to make it lighter?
go back to enlarger and SHORTEN exposure time or STOP DOWN enlarger’s aperture
what is fogged film
film exposed to light
to FREEZE motion what should your shutter be set to?
a fast shutter speed like 1/500th
in the DARKROOM what is the order of chemicals for paper processing
- developer (1.5 mins)
- stop bath (30 sec)
- fix (4-5 mins)
- water (10 mins)
can film be exposed to light after you’re done with FIXER
true
to take a picture with a camera what must you push?
shutter release
KNOW COMPOSITIONAL TECHNIQUES (FLASH CARDS)
:)
contact printing a negative would result in a
positive
how many stops down would you initially set you aperture (it starts off dark) to in the darkroom when making a a print of contact sheet
3 stops
3 things to do before taking a photograph
- focus
- compose your shot
- adjust exposure according to the light meter
a photogram requires a camera and film?
false
you have to push the shutter release first to rewind your film?
false. that is the film rewind button
to fix FILM you do it for 10 minutes and 45 seconds
false.
what is an SLR camera
Single lens reflex
lowest shutter speed you can use without using a tripod?
1/60
FILM can be handled in the darkroom under the amber lights?
false. only in complete darkness.
we use the ENLARGER to create pictures in the darkroom?
true
film is highly durable and indestructible?
false
what does the APERTURE control?
- the dof
2. the AMOUNT of light hitting the film
shallow depth of field is
a focal point.
large dof is…
everything is in focus
