1. Place camera in manual mode.
2. Put camera's aperture on 8.
3. Adjust shutter while reading the meter. Place your meter reading at 0 (zero) or a normal exposure.
4. Then take 4 more exposures without changing your shutter speed. What you will change will be the aperture. Use these 4 other aperture numbers 5.6, 4 for your overexposed negatives. Use 11, and 16 for you underexposed negative.
5. A total of 5 different exposures for the 1 scene.
6. Record on a sheet of paper your exposure data 1. Frame number 2. aperture 3. shutter speed 4. 4. Exposure (N/0, +1, +2, -1, -2)
6. Repeat 7 times.

1. APERTURE controls amount of light.2. SHUTTER SPEED controls the amount of time3. Meter evaluates the brightness/intensity of light4.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 papercoated with silver iodide.10. Silver Gelatin dry plate process, one step process, allows for some portability since you no longer need a portable darkroom11. Cyanotype Non silver process that creates a blue image.12. Albumen Eggs whites are used to create this printing process.
13. Depth of field is effected by 3 things: A} Aperture B} Distance from subject C} Choice of focal length14. Reflective Meter reads light bounces off subject.15. Incident Meter reads light falling on the subject.16. Prime Lens Single Focal length17. Zoom Lens Multiple Focal Length18. Telephoto Lens 70mm - 500mm(focal length full frame or 35mm) Magnifies what you photographing19. Wide Angle Lens 24mm-35mm (focal length full frame or 35mm) Wider coverage to photograph more space20. Normal Lens 50mm (focal length full frame or 35mm) Approximates what the human eye seesMeter Modes1. Spot2. Evaluative/Matrix3. Center Weighted

White Balance Symbols
ROW 1 - Mode AV, auto ISO, short distance from subject (2-3 feet), be sure compare subject in foreground and background. Use these apertures (5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22), Focal Length 35mm
ROW 2 - Mode AV, auto ISO, be a meter or yard away from subject, keep aperture constant at 5.6. Use these Focal Lengths ( 18mm, 24mm, 35mm, 45mm, 55mm)
ROW 3 - Mode AV, auto ISO, keep aperture and Focal Length constant (Focal Length 35mm and Aperture 5.6). Move camera these distances from subject in 5 different frames ( 1ft, 4ft, 6ft, 12ft, 18ft )
ROW 4 - Mode M, Meter to zero, no auto ISO, meter with 5 different values using your spot meter mode. (white piece of paper, light grey, middle grey, dark grey, black)
ROW 5 - Mode TV or S, Dial exposure so that your aperture is on 11. Place model in shadow against bright background. (Silhouette) Use exposure compensation button to photograph at 0, -1, -2, +1, +2
ROW 6 - Program Mode S/TV (Shutter Priority), Auto ISO, hand hold camera and point at one subject with same composition and cycle through these shutter speeds turn off image stabilizer ( 1/125, 1/30, 1/15, 1/8, 1/2 ) VISUAL EFFECT DIFFERENT SHUTTER SPEEDS
ROW 7 - Program Mode S/TV, Auto ISO, Place camera on trip pod image stabilizer off take pictures with subject moving and background stable using these shutter speeds ( 1/2, 1 second, 2 second, 4 second, 8 second ) LONG EXPOSURE
ROW 8 - Program Mode S/TV, Auto ISO, Place camera on trip pod image stabilizer off point camera at subject and carefully change the focal length during exposure. Use these shutter speeds ( 1/2, 1 second, 2 second, 4 second, 8 second ) ZOOM BLUR
ROW 9 - Program Mode S/TV, Auto ISO, image stabilizer off follow moving subject maintaining subject in frame during exposure. Use these shutter speeds ( 1/30, 1/15, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 ) PANNING
ROW 10 - Program Mode S/TV, Auto ISO, Place camera on trip pod image stabilizer off point camera at subject shift camera mid exposure on tripod. Use these shutter speeds ( 2 Seconds, 4 seconds, 6 seconds, 8 seconds, 10 seconds )
ROW 11 - Program Mode S/TV, Auto ISO, Shutter speed 1/250 of a second. Take the same picture/composition outdoor light using 5 different white balance options. ( Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent ) WHITE BALANCE PRESETS
ROW 12 - Program Mode S/TV, Auto ISO, Shutter speed 1/250 of a second. Create a custom white balance of these five colors using day light ( Grey card, Red, Blue, Green, Orange ) CUSTOM WHITE BALANCE
ROW 13 - Program Mode S/TV, Auto ISO shoot in daylight. Stop action or movement using a fast shutter speed. Example athletic event, dancing. ( 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000) STOP ACTION
ROW 14 - LIGHTING 1. Diffused 2. Backlighting 3. Side lighting left 4. Side lighting Right 5. Front lighting ( TV mode use shutter speed of 1/250 of a second using auto ISO)
