Module 101 35mm SLR Camera
Materials needed:
A 35mm SLR camera (film cameras (unfortunately not digital) can be
borrowed from Zoom In for an additional fee).
Camera Introduction and Camera Basics: Any film 400 ISO or at least 128mg Memory card (digital cameras only). You will also need to pay for processing film into prints. Basic Photography: One roll of Ilford XP2 black and white film 400 ISO. You will also need to pay for processing costs but you can get your film processed without prints as you will be printing them yourself. Creative Photography: One roll of HP5 Black and white film 400 ISO. Objectives of Module: This module will enable you to use a 35mm SLR or rangefinder camera competently. You will understand how to take great photographs instead of hit and miss shots and use the full functionality of your camera instead of always switching the dial to the green square (or auto function). This includes manual exposure reading, knowing what shutter and aperture controls to use for a given photograph, manual focusing and choice of lenses. Students will also understand what film ISO to buy and/or use. You will also learn how to manipulate the camera to produce varied photographic effects.
Practical Exercise
Module 203 Using Light
Materials
needed: A 35mm SLR camera (film cameras (unfortunately
not digital) can be borrowed from Zoom In for an additional fee).
One roll of colour film to be discussed in previous session or at
least 128mg Memory card (digital cameras only)
Objectives of Module: In this module you will explore the colour of light and wavelength. You will look at different light sources and how they affect colour film. You will look at the differences of natural light and available/artificial light as well as portable flash. You will investigate different filters used for colour correction and white balance functions of digital cameras. You will also learn cross processing techniques with slide film. Requirements for this Module: Module 202 is aimed at those with a sound understanding of aperture and shutter combinations and use of varying exposure settings for different effects. The course assumes that students are confident in how to achieve the correct exposure using manual controls. This means knowing how and when to use your aperture to gain shallow depth of field or shutter to obtain blur and know where to take an average brightness reading from a scene. If you feel you may need to take an introductory session in these technical skills please consider taking a course that consists of module 101 such as Camera Introduction, Camera Basics or Basic Photography, which are designed as a lead into courses with this module. Practical Exercise Experiment with different available light sources and different filters to correct colour casts.
