Making a Black and White print

1.) List the materials (equipment) necessary to make a black and white print:
Timers, Drying Cabinets,Tongs Or Spatula, Enlargers, Focusing Aids,Safe lights

2.) List the chemicals we might be using to make a print and where one would buy those chemicals:
developer, stop bath, fixer found at the Kodak website
3.) Summarize in one or two paragraphs the process from start to finish:


4.) Post a photo of the equipment necessary to make a black and white print:



Define the following words (make sure its from the photographic perspective):

1. emulsion-a light-sensitive coating on paper or film; consists of fine grains of silver bromide suspended in a gelatin.
2. aperture-is referred to the lens diaphragm opening inside a photographic lens.
3. masking easel-a frame, often with adjustable masks, used to hold photographic paper flat and control borders when printing enlargements.
4. exposure-is the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium.
5. safe light-A filtered light thats used in a darkroom to allow you to see while handling light sensitive material.
6. dodging-decreases the exposure for areas of the print that the photographer wishes to be lighter
7. burning-increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker.

Drug Cartels in Mexico

The drug cartels have murdered over 2,000 people and everyday more people are killed. After two years of arrested many key figures there is still not much change. People don't go out out night on then streets because"The cartels, own the night."The cops in Juarez were masks to keep their identities unknown and protect the safety of their families."Only in Juarez do the good guys wear masks." Being a journalists is very dangerous job because 65 journalists have been murdered since 2000. The people of Juarez live in a non-stop killing zone. Its a very sad and scary place to be and live in because of the drug cartels.

The photo that is my favorite is  a car with blood splattered on the window inside and it is cracked and the back door is open. Simplifying and rule of thirds are the technical aspects the photographer used to make the picture interesting I like this photo because the blood and window cracked show the realism of the drug cartels. It leaves you wondering how the blood got there and why the window is cracked.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get close, capture real moments, and capture action or emotion? Explain how you dealt with these challenges. I had a hard time getting the people in the frame. I tried not to cut any one off.

2. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly. Focus. I made sure the person was not blurry and I could see the clearly.

3. Explain how you attempted to use at least one of the advanced composition techniques you learned in class while shooting. I tried to use leading lines by using objects to lead the eyes through the photo.

4. What would you do differently the next time you shoot to improve your photographs?
I would try to get the light meter in the middle, i was hard because sometimes it wouldn't move no matter what I did
