2003-06-20: Review for Midterm

  1. Dektok developer is used to develop film. False (D-76 for Film; Dektol for Paper).
  2. When developing prints the developer and the fixer is used full strength. False
  3. If your film is very dark or thick, how would you adjust the developing time? Decrease (overdeveloped or underexposed).
  4. If your developer temperature is too warm, your film will be overexposed. True, if you maintain the same time for developing. If you adjust your time for temperature, it will come out correctly. Try to always work at the correct temperature.
  5. When you rush or extend the developing, beyond the chemistry, you will get developed, but you will not get the optimal chemistry. Easier to raise than lower.
  6. When removing the film from its canister - safe lights? NO
  7. Proper developing for film depends on which of the following, temperature, film speed, developing time.
  8. 4 basic steps in developing film and prints: developer, stop bath, fixer, wash.
  9. Adding more time to the developer will make the print darker or lighter? Print is lighter.
  10. Adding more time to the film in the developer? Darker or lighter? Darker.

    Developer - print - only go so far.
    Developer - film - Lighter.

  11. When you photograph dark ridge detail on a light background, how will the ridge detail look on the film? Opposite - light ridges, background dark. Shadows absorb light and will not transmit that to the film plane (will not expose the silver halides).
  12. Light blue print on a red background, use a red filter. How will background look on the film? DARK. Filter does NOT allow the red background to hit the film, so the film will be dark as it has not exposed.

    Read the book on filters.

  13. Aperture is controlled through what part of the camera? The lens (aperture is in the lens). Aperture controls the amount of light enters the camera.
  14. Aperture settings commonly called: FStops
  15. shutter controls amount of time light strikes the film.
  16. Film speed refers to light sensitivity of the film. Film speed, FStop and Shutter speed control the exposure.
  17. Depth of field, amount of area in front of and behind the point of focus in acceptable focus.
  18. If we have a correct exposure and we change the FStop; move it up (bigger) decrease the amount of light striking the film, will cause the picture to be underexposed. Open up a stop, double the amount of light striking the film and overexpose, dark film, light print.

Disclaimer: These are MY notes taken from classroom lectures while I'm in the classroom. While I'm perfectly happy to share my notes with my classmates and I know I take very good notes, you should still make every effort to attend the class and TAKE YOUR OWN NOTES. I will not transcribe everything the instructor says in the classroom, and I will NEVER post pre-exam reviews. My notes will not replace the value of actually attending class and taking your own class notes.I also cannot attest to their accuracy, other than they are what was provided in the lecture; you should not reference my notes as "expert opionion" by any means, and if you notice an error or omission, please do me the favor of e-mailing me with the correction and I will re-post my notes.
