1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 125, 250, 500, 1000

EQUIVELENT APERTURE AND SHUTTER SPEED QUESTION
If the aperture is 11 at shutter speed 125 and you change the aperture to 22 what will be your shutter speed if you want an equivalent exposure? ANSWER SHUTTER SPEED 30

If the shutter speed is 125 and aperture 16 and I change the shutter speed to 1000 what will be my aperture?  ANSWER 5.6

• What controls the amount light that exposes film or your sensor? APERTURE
• What controls the amount of time that light exposes your film or sensor? SHUTTER SPEED
• What camera feature measures the intensity of light present in the scene? METER
• Film or sensor's sensitivity to light? FILM SPEED / ISO
• As ISO number becomes larger what are the consequences? MORE GRAIN AND MORE SENSITIVE TO LIGHT

• Chemicals in the darkroom: 
1st tray developer reveals the image 
2nd tray STOP BATH halts development 
3rd tray FIXER makes image light resistant and permanent
4th tray WATER BATH removes remaining fixer and becomes archival

Film Exposure Test

Assignment #3: Film Exposure Test and Contact Sheet (10 pts)

Welcome to film! In this assignment, you will be learning how to use a manual film camera. We will also be using the in camera meter to bracket exposures. There’s not metadata stored on our film cameras! So, we need to take good notes.  The log sheet attached must be turned in with your assignment for full credit.
Next week, we will be processing this film and creating a contact sheet. Shooting assignment:
REMEMBER: -Use create photographs NOT snapshots.
-Look for good light.
-This may seem like a technical assignment, but that doesn’t mean your pictures need to be boring!  Make something you will be proud to print.

·       Go to a normally lit, outdoor scene. Make sure your camera is in Manual Mode. Determine a normal exposure for the lighting condition.
·       Using the normal exposure calculate 5 exposures beginning from 2 stops under to 2 stops over in one-stop increments using the shutter speed. Write the exposures on the exposure log. Remember, keep the aperture the SAME when bracketing. Only change the shutter speed.
·       Shoot all 5 exposures in the order that you have written on the exposure log.
·       Repeat the sequence in another outdoor scene.
·       Repeat the sequence indoors, adjusting for the light condition.
·       Repeat the sequence in a challenging light condition (one where you are inside and a light is shining in from outside), adjusting for the light condition.
(Use the remaining film to shoot whatever you want.)

Use the film base to determine the contact sheet exposure. Using a silver sharpie, mark -2, -1, N, +1, +2 on the appropriate frames on the contact sheet for each exposure test.

Due:
·       exposure notes
·       properly processed and sleeved film
·       contact sheet with each exposure test labeled properly
·       8.5x11 plastic sheet protector



Grading Criteria for Film Exposure Test and Contact Sheet:  (10 points)      Name:

On time?                              Number of weeks late:      Late work loses 10% for each week is it turned in late.
Category

Contact sheet has proper exposure based on the sprocket holes.
Contact sheet is a little too dark or too light based on the sprocket holes.
Contact sheet is much too light or much too dark.
Contact Sheet- Organization
Film is organized top to bottom by exposure number.  No frames are backwards.
1 or 2 rows of film are either backwards or out of order.
More than 2 rows of film are either backwards or out of order.
Processing
Processing was successful. No frames lost due to frames touching during development. Not over or underdeveloped.
Processing was mostly successful. 5 or more frames are lost due to processing errors.
More than 5 frames were lost due to processing errors.  Or, film is extremely under or over developed.
