Hi all. Just thought I'd post the week fours lesson.
If you think you might like to join in, check out this (http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?t=398461) thread for details.
Easy to catch up :yes:
The fourth lesson is ISO, Grain, Transparency vs. Negative, Specialty Films (http://www.morguefile.com/docs/Jodie_Coston:_Lesson_4)
For this lesson it is preferable to have a film camera handy. If not, just complete what you can :)
So read through the lesson this week, and then use what you've learned to complete the assignment:
Assignment 1: Assignment 1: Using a film camera, take both a roll of slide film and a roll of negative film. Use the bracketing system to take a couple of sets of shots that are:
2 stops underexposed
1 stop underexposed
Normal exposure
1 stop overexposed
2 stops overexposed
Assignment 2: Take notes on what your aperture, shutter speed and film speeds are set to on your camera so that you can compare when you get your developed film back. When you do get them, you'll be amazed. Most likely you won't be able to tell much difference in the negative film that has been printed, but the slides will show a dramatic difference. Even if you don't shoot much film, this is an excellent exercise in helping you understand exposure more in depth than you do already. Compare the difference in color between the correctly exposed slides and prints. Since these are not digital, unless you have access to a scanner, you won't be able to post your results, but please post any relevant comments you might have.
Assignment 3: Take a white subject and photograph it both inside and outside, in both bright light and dim light, using your camera's auto white balance. This is a good way to see how accurate your camera's white balance actually is - are the whites really white? If so, great! Next, if you have preset white balances on your camera, set the same white object up on a white or black background and take pictures of it using each setting - sunny, cloudy, incandescent, fluorescent. This will give you some idea of the differences in color temperature your camera sees that your eye might not naturally notice.The assignment is 'due' on Monday the 25th of April. A new thread for the next lesson will be posted on the day before (Sunday).
If you like, please post your images in this thread! You don't *have* to if you don't want to though, but definitely use this thread for chat and tips!
Any questions just ask away - have fun :smiliedance:
If you have a Flickr account, you can make your images show in the thread that automatically includes a link back to the Flickr page.
To do this, go to your photo on flickr. Where the little facebook/email/twitter icons are directly above it, click on the drop arrow. Click on "grab the HTML/BB code", and make sure the "BB code" selected. I've used SMALL size below - copy the text in the little box and simply paste into your post here on BH.
It will look like this:
