Black and White

 

 

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 usage 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 your print exemplifies. 

 

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

 

 

Man Ray originated the Photogram affect

 

Reverse Prints, are negative images of your positive prints and often create a Surreal Mise-en-Scene.

 

Reliefs, are 3-D prints made from multiple prints and layering.

 

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

 

Weaving, usually though of with fabric is a presentation option that makes for an interesting print.

 

 

 

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

 

 

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 appy the may filters to achieve a variety of affects.
