• Strip with multiple exposures  created to decide what the correct exposure (Test Strip)
• What do you use in the darkroom to create your photos (Enlarger)
• Accordian part of the device that helps focus the image create images in the darkroom (Bellows)
• Use ink to get rid of white dots or dust on your print (Spotting)

MEMORIZE APERTURES
2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22

MEMORIZE SHUTTERSPEEDS
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

• Add light to print to make a section darker? BURNING
• Subtract or block light to make a section lighter? DODGING
• Contrast filters which direction in number increases or decreases contrast? Filter 1 will decrease vs Filter 5 increase contrast

FINAL PROJECT & Mat Board

Applying skills and techniques learned in previous projects, create a cohesive set of photographs that work together as a series, chronologically, connected visually, or united by a common concept or idea.

In developing your concept, consider the following:

·      Do the images work as a series in tonal range, exposure and composition? Do they look like a series?
·      Do the images work together to create a new meaning or understanding that would not be possible with single, separate images?
·      Do the images have a single theme or subject or content.


Minimum 4 images matted. You may optionally add 3 more images for a total of 7 image.  More images will likely increase your point value.
• 4 images will be window matted 11 x 14 inch board

HOW GRADED
• do your have 2 or more contact sheets
• 4 window matted photos 
• Lighting, technical proficiency example no blurring pictures, thoughtful compositions.
• Single subject (not scattered)
• Show ambition
