Step-by-Step Film Development

Many photographers nowadays use digital cameras, but shooting with traditional film can be satisfying as well. Developing your film requires some special equipment and a darkroom (a room without any windows that can be secured during the processing so that no light enters). There are several steps to developing film correctly.

Assemble the chemicals needed for developing. You will need developer, stop bath, fixer, hypo clearing agent and wetting agent. Refer to the manufacturers' instructions on the bottles for proper mixing.

Set out all the equipment that you will need during processing, as it will be difficult to track everything down in the dark. You will need scissors, film reel and a developing tank.

Fill the developing tank with developer to the level needed to process your film. If you are processing many rolls at once, fill it almost to the top. Place the tank upright in a pan of cool water.

Set your timer. Refer to instructions from the manufacturer if you are unsure how much time you will need.

Turn off the lights in the darkroom and open the film canister. Insert the end of the film onto the clip on the film reel and wind it on. Pinch the edges of the film gently while rolling. Set the timer and place the film in the developing tank, fasten the lid securely and tap it lightly to dislodge any bubbles. Agitate the developer every 30 seconds by gently turning it upside down to ensure that the developer will wash over your film evenly.

Once the timer is almost up, remove the small cap on top of the developing tank and pour the chemical into a storage tank. Leave the film inside the tank and rinse with water for approximately 30 seconds, then pour the stop bath into the tank and allow it to sit for 30 to 60 seconds.

Pour the stop bath back into its storage container and fill the tank with fixer. Leave the film in the tank for two to four minutes, and agitate it by tipping it upside down and back to evenly distribute the fixer.

You may turn the lights back on now, as the film is no longer sensitive to light. Pour the fixer out of the tank and rinse with water. Add hypo clearing agent to the tank and leave for several minutes. Remove the film reel from the tank and rinse the film with water for five minutes.

Place the reel back into the tank and add wetting agent for another 30 seconds.Take the reel out and unroll the film. Cut the film strip into sections of about five frames. Squeeze excess water off the film with a clean tong. Hang the film to dry; add a weight to the bottom of the film strip so that the film won't curl up. Now you have a strip of negatives and can print your photos.

How to Use the D300 Spot Meter

There are different ways to measure the exposure required in order to take a picture, with each way being known as a meter. The Nikon D300 offers three different types of meters. The spot meter, in particular, works by taking a light reading from one specific part of the view your camera has; it enables an accurate reading of a subject.

Instructions

1

Set the AE-L AF-L dial on the back of the SLR to the bottom setting to enter Spot mode.

2

Set the mode on the Camera Mode dial to "Manual" or "M."

3

Focus the camera lens on the subject to be photographed.

4

Press "menu" on your camera, then choose the pencil icon. Use the custom exposure setting to dial the exposure length according to the tone of the subject for an exposure table. Lighter tone subjects should have longer exposure settings, while darker subjects should be faster.

5

Press the shutter button on top of your camera to take the picture.

How to Use Umbrella Lights in Photography

By reading this article, you should learn how to place, meter and use your lights for portraiture. Read on to learn how to use umbrella lights in photography.

Instructions

1




Understand that determining exactly how many lights you need is really not that important. You can use from one to four lights or more. The question would be, where do you put them? Ask 10 photographers and you are likely to get 12 answers. Too close and the shadows created will be very harsh but too far away they will not be strong enough.

2

Your key light should be 45 degrees from your subject and placed about thirty to forty-five degrees above your subject, 4 to 5 feet away.

3

The fill light should be in front of your subject and as close to being level with the subject's eyes as possible. This is the light that you see reflecting in your subject's eyes.

4

The hair light should be above and behind your subject and is usually used with barn doors. If your subject has dark hair, you should place the hair light directly over head. The lighter the hair, the further back the light should be.

5

You will need to meter your light before taking a photo. The usual lighting ratio for a portrait is 3:1, although you can have any ratio you or your subject thinks is appropriate. A 3:1 ratio means that your key light is one and two thirds f-stop stronger than your fill light.

6

Now you need to meter your lights to make sure you have the proper setting. Just because you have them located properly doesn't mean that they'll work correctly. To meter your lights, turn all lights off but your key light. Put the light meter where your focal point is and fire your strobes. Write that reading down. Do this with the other lights as well, turning off all other lights, so the only light turned on is the light being tested.

7

The meter for your key light should be three f-stops higher than the others. In other words, if your key light gives f8, then your fill light should be between f4.5 and f5.6.

8

You can use a tape measure instead of a meter. To do this, put your key light eight feet away from your subject. The distance will be measured from the light bulb to the umbrella and then to the subject, which should total 8 feet. Next, measure the fill light, and make it three stops, or feet, closer to your subject measured in the same way. This will give you a 3:1 ratio, suitable for portraiture.

How to Become a Corbis Photographer

Corbis has been a leading provider of web based stock photography since its conception in 1989. It offers skilled photographers a broad media outlet in which to present their photography work for the purposes of resale and display. Those interested in seeking employment as a Corbis photographer can rest assured that their work will be properly protected. The Corbis Website offers a simple submission form to kick start the application process for those who would like to promote digital photography skills on the Internet. Corbis also provides a user friendly interface for those seeking royalty free and rights managed photography.

Instructions

1

Hone your photography skills. Find your comfort zone. Once you find your niche, snap away. Experiment with ways to make your digital images show off your true talents. You may even wish to focus on taking classes that will enhance your knowledge of photos and technology. Colleges and Universities offer programs that can increase your skills and prepare you for a career in photography. The photography field can be very competitive. If you have an educational base, it can work to your advantage.

2

Create a portfolio that includes your best digital photography work. There are a multitude of stock photographers that submit digital photos on the web. Get an edge on the competition. You will need to have a portfolio that contains images that stand out above the rest. Corbis seeks images that are both marketable and one of a kind in "look." Capturing a well-known landmark with your special spin and interpretation can be a great thing. It's also a great idea to photograph things that are underrated or underexposed.

3

Choose a genre that best fits your photography skills and interests. For instance, if you have the ability to fly to a location that will provide your image portfolio with a destination theme, make a conscience decision to focus on photos that relate to the category of travel.

4

Add titles and headings to the digital photos that make up your personal image portfolio. Taking the time to do this will provide Corbis with any details that pertain to your photos. Tagging your photos will also make them available for those searching the Corbis database.

5

Establish an Internet connection that can handle the frequent upload of full size images to the Corbis Website. You will also need some background in photo editing in order to perfect your images. Having the ability to enhance an image using cropping and filtering will empower you as a photographer.

6

Go to the official Corbis Website. You can find the link in our Resources section.

7

Scroll down to the very bottom of the Corbis Website. Move your mouse to the link that reads "Employment." Click on the link. You will be redirected to the page containing Corbis benefits and employment information.

8

Click on the "Jobs" link to the left of the page. This link will take you directly to a page that will allow you to search for open positions in your region. There is also a link that will allow you to fill out a general application for employment.

9

Fill out the general application by clicking on the link located on the "Jobs" page. The application has been designed as an online submission form that will allow you to input your personal data and upload your resume as an attachment.

10

Be patient. Corbis will contact you if you are seen as a fit for the company.

How to Mount Photos on Mats

Mounting your photography on mat boards is a surefire way to make your work look better and more professional. However, according to an article on the photography website Unblinking Eye, mounting your work has other benefits as well. By mounting, you save your photograph from excessive handling, and from inevitable curling. Your print will be more durable and better preserved.

Instructions

1

Plug in both the tacking iron and the mounting press. Preheat the mounting press to the temperature stated on the instructions to your dry mounting tissue.

2

Place a sheet of the dry mounting tissue on the back of your photograph. Once the tacking iron has heated up, very lightly touch it to the dry mounting tissue near the center of the back of the photograph and move the iron in small circles for five seconds. The heat will tack the mounting tissue to the back of the photo.

3

With the mounting tissue attached to the backside of your photo, trim the edges on the paper cutter so that your photograph and the tissue are exactly the same size.

4

Place the photograph face up on the approximate center of the mat board. Using the ruler and pencil, adjust the photograph so that it is centered exactly on the board and mark lightly where the four corners belong in case of shifting.

5

Hold the photograph in place with two or three fingers on the center of the print-you may find it prudent to wear a glove while holding the photograph down to avoid damaging the face of the print. Gently lift a corner of the photograph, leaving the mounting tissue in contact with the mat board. Use the tacking iron with light pressure and small circles as before to tack the mounting tissue to the mat board itself. Repeat on two other corners, for a total of three corners.

6

Place the two extra mat boards in the mounting press, and put the mat board with your photo on it in between them. This way, neither surface of the mounting press has direct contact with your piece and direct heat damage is avoided. Close the mounting press and wait for two minutes.

7

Pull your photo and mat board out of the press. Carefully check each corner of your photo to ensure that it has been fully adhered to the board. If any part of the photo appears to be lifting, check the temperature of your mounting press and press it again at the correct temperature for another minute. When finished, be sure to erase any visible pencil marks.
