So we’ve been in class for a little over 2 months and I’m really happy with how well we’ve all settled into the rhythm of class. I wish I could see you all here all the time, but I understand some of you guys have plenty of things to do after school. For those of…
Since we’re currently still working on proper exposure, I’ve been looking to make a very simple handout (basically a very brief combination of the depth of field explanation on the last handout and the shutter speed handout) with some picture samples to show the difference between properly exposed pictures at different shutter speeds, aperture stops…
So we’ve been in class for a little over 2 weeks and I have yet to see many of you come to class. We have a lot of cameras checked out to you guys and I’d like to have as many of you in there as possible. If we don’t have enough students for class,…
So, as many of you may or may not know, we decided to take a break from our class due to some unforeseen circumstances in which our cameras had to be returned to the school. On the bright side, these past few weeks served as good time for me to get busy finding all new…
Pretty much what the title says. Mr. Stahl is using the computer lab for CAHSEE preparation classes after school and, in order for us to not be in their way, our class will be put on hold until the second week of February. I’m also looking at changing the days we meet, but that’s something…
Actually, that’s not a request. I need every one of you guys in class as soon as possible. For the next week or so, the school administration needs to run an equipment check on all our cameras and darkroom equipment and I need you guys (if you happen to be reading this) to return the…
On Monday when we returned from break, we received a nice delivery. There are now over 100 rolls of Kodak Tri-X film in our possession. Where were you when we were handing these out?
Most of you know that the button on the top right magically takes a picture when you press it; what you may not know is how that button controls the shutter. I have written the second handout pertaining to film exposure that I mentioned in Saturday’s entry. We will spend Friday’s lab time learning the…
For those of you who only recently joined our group shutterbugs, I have taken the liberty of expanding the old camera basics post with a newly-expanded handout dealing with the basics of the camera lens; another handout detailing the use of the camera shutter will be coming soon. This is quite a long handout topping…
After doing a bit of research and doing some experiments in the darkroom today, I think I’ve come to realize that the problem we’re having is that our chemicals have been sitting here too long. This doesn’t mean that they went bad, it just means that we need to decrease the water dilution a bit.…
