Photography 1 - Course Outline – 9 Week Course - .5 Credit – Ms. Janney-Horan

Course Description – This course is design to provide the student with a basic knowledge of black and white photographic techniques from making a negative exposure to the final print and presentation.

Requirements

1. Attendance and attentiveness at demonstrations and lectures.

2. Shoot your film assignments! Film photography starts with creating exposures via film with your camera. If one hasn’t completed this first step, then creating your photographs is not capable.

3. Hand work in on time and receive full credit (this means to be complete, evaluated and if required, mounted for presentation). Assignments turned in late will be dropped one grade for each day late, unless any situations are discussed beforehand with instructor.

4. Weekly portfolio and journals, which we will make, must be handed in for grading every Friday. This portfolio may contain lecture notes, photographs, journal entries, production notes and handouts. Weekly criteria will be posted.

5. Every student MUST share the responsibility of keeping the darkroom and classroom clean and organized. Many hands make little work.

6. Students are expected to take responsibility for proper use and maintenance of materials, equipment and chemicals.

7. Expand your creative edge, problem solving skills and visual communication capabilities.

Course Content

1. Full manual usage of the 35mm camera without flash.

2. Darkroom orientation for development and printing of black and white film.

3. Photographic journal to guide and refine your photographic skills.

4. Historical photographic research.

5. Thematic photo assignments to achieve great skills in photographing and printing images in black and white.

6. Inclusion of Digital Photography via photoshop and scanners.

Materials

1. Students must have a 35 mm SLR full manual camera with adjustable lens.

2. Students must purchase supplies and be brought daily to class. These supplies are:

APERATURE: The Lens opening is called the Aperture and or F-stop.

This controls the amount of light that is let into the camera and the amount of focusing in a print.

The f-stop numbers on my camera are: _____________________________________________________________________

Big numbers on the aperture or f-stop let in less light for they are small openings. These f-stops are used for brightly lit situations or for blurry motion scenes and allow most of your photo (from fore- ground to background) to be in focus. Please write your 2 biggest f-stops._________________

Small number on the aperture or f-stop let in ore light for they are big openings. Use with low light situations or for captured motion scenes and allow for a limited amount of your photo. Please write your 2 smallest f-stops._______________

Shutter Speed: Shutter speed controls the length of time the light enters the camera. It is how long the light is let in by fraction of a second. For example, “60” on your dial equals 1/60 of a second.

Write the shutter speeds listed on your camera. _____________________________________________________________________

Write which shutter speed opens the quickest. _________

Write which shutter speed opens the longest. __________

Focusing Ring: This setting or focusing on your camera must be adjusted for well-crafted prints. SLR’s (Single Lens Reflex) cameras allow you to see the focusing of your subject. Where do you find your focusing ring? _________________________________________________________________

Light Meter: Using the manufacturer’s instructions to set the correct exposure time, this allows your photographs to have a good balance of white, gray and black. Now, locate your light meter and draw below what you see in your viewfinder. Is it your f-stop and or your shutter speed in the viewfinder or more? Next, write your steps of how you need to set your meter for perfect exposure of light.

|Draw what you see when looking through your viewfinder. You may have |

|to lightly press your shutter release button to activate its sensors.|

Write the steps for setting your light meter for good exposure.

|A Photogram is a photographic image that is very similar to an X-Ray. It is a shadowlike photograph made by placing objects between light-sensitive paper and a |

|light source. The photogram is based on the laws of photo sensitivity. The areas of the paper that receive light when exposed appear dark and the parts that do |

|not receive any light appear lighter. The net result of photogram is a silhouetted image with a fine texture of alternate light and darkness. Though a photogram|

|is a cameraless image, interestingly enough, it still falls under the category of photography. Photograms are one-of-a-kind prints, because once the objects are|

|removed from the enlarger or paper, that particular arrangement is gone. |

| |

|In the history of photography, photogram holds a position of prestige since they were the first genre of photographs. William Fox Talbot [1800-1877] is regarded|

|as the father of photogram. He created many of these images by the placement of leaves and pieces of objects like lace on photo-sensitive paper and later |

|exposing them to the sun. Another person who shares credit for the evolution of photograms is Anna Atkins. She published a book of cyanotype photograms in 1843.|

|The photogram process became popularized in the artistic community as a result of a post World War I movement in Europe. In 1917, a German named Christian Schad|

|experimented with the technique and called his works Schadographs. In 1921, Man Ray, an American painter living in Paris, saw some of Schad’s work and started |

|some of his own experiments, which he called Rayographs. The following year, the Hungarian Laszlo Moholy-Nagy in turn saw a portfolio of 12 Rayographs and |

|produced his own experiments, which he called photograms. Popular for a few years, this movement had passed into photographic history by the 1930’s.( Christine |

| |

In the 1920’s, about 80 years after the first camera photographs were made, photograms became popular with painter-photographer Man Ray, sought to explore the “pure” actions of light in space. You too will be introduced to photography with the basic task of making an image with light.

Assignment:

After several brainstorming sketches (5 sketches), create and 5”x7” Photogram that expresses and idea or communicates a theme. You may use any combination of techniques as long as it shows goods composition of varied line and repetition, and movement.

For grading you will have to hand in the following:

• Brainstorming sketches (minimum of five)

Exercise- From the above photographs, circle the emphasis (first item that captures the viewer eye, also known as focal point). Write a Yes above the photo it is in the rule of thirds. Color or highlight strong repeated items in each photograph.

First Photo Shoot Film Due

Your goal as a beginning photographer is to learn how to control your camera effectively for great compositions and exposures. Each of the above photographers’ careful thought and planned each photograph. The following assignment will allow you to understand and control the functions of your camera for success photographs.

Procedures:

1. Write your film (ISO)_________. Now set your camera to that speed.

2. Write your film type and number of exposures________________________. This will be used for developing your film into negetives.

3. In class, you must start your initial role of black and white film by loading it correctly and setting your film speed on the camera.

4. Take the first six photos with your first six aperture/f-stop settings and record what shutter speed you need to use next to the aperture. Use the attached data record chart.

5. Now for homework, finish your role of film with great compositions that have repetition and rule of thirds. Use the light meter and no flash. Don’t forget to record your settings on the chart below. Each data record sheet (on the back of this page) is worth 5 points.

Second Photographic Photoshoot_Depth of Field__5 points

In this second photo shoot you will be using two different photographic techniques by mastering the use of your aperture. Below are two master photographers who photographs emphasize these techniques.

Bokeh Photography -Japanese photographic technique of a minimal focus range that usually emphasis’ the focal point. This is created by using a small f-stop or aperture setting of 1.8, 2 or 2.8.

Portrait Photography-Creating a limited focal plain with your small f-stops like Bokeh

|[pic] |Write what you think the story is behind the nun’s expression. Three sentences or |

| |more. |

|W. Eugene Smith | |

|NYC Harbor, 1956 | |

Landscape Photography – Photographic landscape technique of composing a photograph with everything in focus. Great amount of focus is call great depth of field by using a large f-stop or aperture setting of 16 or 22.

|[pic] |Circle a contrasting area. Highlight leading lines. |

|All four of these pictures have leading lines, are in the rule of thirds and have repetition. |

Second Photo Shoot- Depth of Field Film Due

Goal: During the next few days, you are to go on a walking photographic shoot in a specific place. Using the prompts below, find your interesting compositions. Remember to fill in the blanks as to what you saw (a.k.a. composition description, camera settings, lighting & weather conditions). Shoot the same composition/picture twice. Photograph one photo in great depth of field and one in shallow depth of field. Include the following in every composition: Leading line, repetition, rule of thirds. This roll of film five homework points.

Remember you are taking the same composition twice! One needs to be in a shallow depth of field and the second needs to be in a great depth of field.

When you change your aperture, you must reread your light meter for correct exposure.

Third Photo Shoot-Motion/Sports Photography

You will be studying and photographing all three types of motion photography.

|Captured |Panned |Blurred |

|[pic] |[pic] |[pic] |

|Edward Muybridge, Horse in Motion, 1878 |Robert Capa, |Federico, |

| |Barcelona, 1936 |London, 2010 |

The camera shutter controls the length of time you expose your film. Each of the above photos has been taken different shutter speeds. Your goal for this photo shoot is to control your shutter speed to create these different motion effects.

Captured Motion or Stop Action records a split second of history, leaving your action in mid step, mid-air or frozen. This is created using a high shutter speed of 250 or above. Shutter speed of 1/500 of a second or more will give you the clearest stop action.

Panned Motion is visually the reverse of blurred for the background is smeared or out of focused and the motion is in focus. This is created with a similar low shutter speed of 1/8 of second but you and the camera move with the motion.

Blurred Motion shows movement is blurry or unfocused but the background is in focused. This is created by using a tripod to steady your camera and setting your camera’s shutter speed at 1/15 of a second or below.

Photo Assignment Goal: You will need to take 8 exposures or photographs of each motion. Be diligent in choosing your shutter speed to control your desired motion effect.

Photographic Hints-

✓ Read your light meter for every exposure or photograph.

✓ Double check your shutter speed to make sure it will give the motion you desire.

✓ Have a buddy to help you…

✓ Record all data on the data record sheet.
