Ina Malloy - Mystic 2003

 

This course is designed to teach you basic Camera Controls

which will enable you to take properly exposed negatives

and introduce you to Printing in the darkroom.

 

 

 

 

 

You will learn how to read a photograph just as you would

read a book by

answering certain Questions in order.     

You will become familiar with Darkroom Equipment and

their proper usage.

These questions will enable your instructor to listen to your

thought without utilizing precious lab time during the school day.

See my Mission Statement......

You will learn how to Crop you picture to keep only that

part of the negative you want to print .        

You will learn how to adjust the Contrast by the using of a variety of Filters. These filters will filter the light from the enlarger before it hits the light sensitive papers just as sunglasses affect how you see the world. Filters affect how the light sensitive paper receives the light/image. 

You will learn how to correct exposure in certain areas of your picture while keeping other parts unaffected. This process of Burning and Dodging will become an integral part of your printing..

You will learn how to determine which

Element of Composition for Photography

your print exemplifies. 

You must choose at least 1

You might choose Simplicity, which means it is obvious

what is going on in your picture and it is not busy.

Often a single element. ( ex. A boot)

You might choose Balance, which means that your picture is symetrical with multiple elements. Remember negative space can be counted as one of your elements................................... ...( ex. A landscape with land ,water and sky)

You might choose from Framing, which means your focal point is surrounded by another element of your picture..... (ex. A baby in a car seat)

You might choose from Mergers which come in 2 ways. Good mergers are overlaps which are intentional and help your image. The other is a Poor Merger which interferes with your original intention of the picture. (ex. a person with a tree limb seemingly coming from their ear when in a 3-D world, the tree was 50+ feet away)

Rule of Thirds, is a mapping system for identifying the artist's placement of the focal point. Imagine a Tic-Tac-Toe board overlaying your print, which quadrant does your Focal Point fall or which intersection does it fall onto................................ (ex. Upper left, center, etc...)

Sabbatier Affect is the origin

 of Solarization . Developed by Man Ray it will give

a chrome like affect to your print. Halo affect.

Man Ray originated the Photogram affect, you will be able to make one of these with just an object or an object combiined with a negative for a double exposure.

Reverse Prints,

Are negative images of your positive prints and often create a Surreal Mise-en-Scene Very Spooky.

Reliefs

Are 3-D prints made from multiple prints and layering using .3-D O's to pop your piece of the print up

Globes

are formed by making a print into strips and stitching them together.

Weaving

Usually thought of with fabric is a presentation option that makes for an interesting print. Enlargements are cut into thin strips and woven to give the print a different affect.

You will be expected to scan a negative into the computer and manipulate it with Adobe Photoshop 7.0 or CS2

While using Adobe, you will be expected to learn how to change the mode from Greyscale to RGB.

While using Adobe, you will be expected to learn how to adjust the contrast

While using Adobe, you will be expected to learn how to correct scratches and dirt spots.

While using Adobe, you will be expected to learn how to use the clone tool to reproduce elements of your picture

While using Adobe, you will be expected to learn how to combine images from seperate files.

While using Adobe, you will be expected to learn how to use layers.

While using Adobe, you will be expected to learn how to create an advertisement including text.

While using Adobe, you will be expected to learn how to apply the may filters to achieve a variety of affects.
