MIDTERM (UPDATED 3/31)

1. APERTURE  controls amount of light.
2. SHUTTER SPEED controls the amount of time
3. Meter evaluates the brightness/intensity of light
4.Dodging - subtracting light/time from a print in the darkroom.  Makes sections of photo lighter in value. Term used in photoshop to describe making a section lighter value.
5. Burning - adding light/time to a print in the darkroom. Makes sections darker value. Term used Photoshop to describe making a section darker value.
6. ISO/ASA - how sensitive film or digital sensor is to light. Smaller the number less sensitive/bigger more sensitive to light.

7. (Colloidal Process) Requires the photographic material to be coated, sensitized, exposed and developed within the span of about fifteen minutes and creates a negative.
8. (Daguerreotype)Photographic process employing an iodine-sensitized silvered copper plate and mercury vapor to create a single image.
9. (Calotype) an early photographic process in which negatives were made using paper coated with silver iodide.
10. Silver Gelatin dry plate process, one step process, allows for some portability since you no longer need a portable darkroom

11. Depth of field is effected by 3 things: A} Aperture   B} Distance from subject  C} Choice of focal length

12. (APERTURE)2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22
13.(SHUTTER SPEED) 1,2,4,8,15,30,60,125,250,500,1000

14. Visual representation of values HISTOGRAM
15. Photograph a scene with multiple different exposures. BRACKETING

16. WIDE ANGLE - 24-35mm (35mm or full frame) gives you wider coverage to photograph more space
17. NORMAL 50mm  (35mm or full frame) approximates unaided human eye would see.
18. TELEPHOTO or LONG FOCUS  (35mm or full frame) 70 to 500mm magnifies what you are looking

19. PRIME LENS - Single focal length
20. ZOOM LENS - Multiple focal lengths

21. (EDWARD S. CURTIS) Photographer who used the process of Ethnography a systematic study of people and cultures

23. (Group F/64) Photographic style characterized by sharp focused images and carefully framed images.
24. (Ansel Adams) Photographer who developed the zone system which divides a scene into values and how it would effect exposure and the aesthetics of the image.

APERTURE EXERCISE

Shoot several images using an extreme close up. 
You will need to be 2-5 inches from the subject. 

Be sure you can compare the subject in close up with something in the background that is 2 to 3 feet away.  Subject in background should be blurry.
• This exercise will demonstrate how distance effects depth of field.

Assignment #1

Assignment # 1: Photographs not Snapshots ( 10 pts)
Use one roll of film to create a portrait of a classmate.  Remember to use some simpleideas to turn the would-be snapshots into photographs:

  RULE OF THIRDS
Divide frame to three parts vertically and horizontally and place subject where the lines crossas opposed to center.

POINT OF VIEW
Change your point of view. Instead of eye level try above, below and behind.

DISTANCE AND PLACEMENT
Come close and move far back. Do not be afraid to get close!

FRAMING
Use these 4 types of framing in at least 16 exposures.  The other 20 please keep in mind the visual ideas listed above.
