How to Develop Film Darkroom Style

Developing 35mm film plays a detrimental part in the amateur black and white photographer's experience. It takes some practice in lit conditions to master the techniques that are necessary to complete the task in a darkroom. Once the feel for the development process is in place, though, it becomes second nature in the darkroom conditions.

Instructions

1

Prepare film developer, fixer and stop bath according to their package directions. These are the film developing chemicals. Mix each chemical in a separate jar, and then label each jar accordingly.

2

Place each developing chemical in a 35mm film developing tank. Fill one tank with developer, one with fixer and one with stop bath.

3

Adjust the chemicals' temperature. Warm the developer in hot water to 68 degrees F. The stop bath and fixer should be 65 to 75 degrees F. Use separate thermometers for each chemical.

4

Remove the film from its cartridge and paper backing in complete darkness. Start by using a bottle cap opener to pop off the cap of the film cartridge. Unroll the negative film strip from the cartridge's center post; detach it from the cartridge by cutting the end of the film. Remove the paper backing from the film strip. Handle the film by only its edges.

5

Prepare the film for development. While still in complete darkness, roll the film onto a 35mm negative processing reel by sliding it into the grooves and pushing it completely through until the entire roll of film is on the reel. Put the reel into the tank containing the film developer, tightly close the tank's lid and set the darkroom timer for the amount specified in the developer's or film's instructions.

6

Develop the film. Turn on the room's lights. Tap the developer tank against a counter or other object remove air bubbles. After 30 seconds, agitate the developer by rolling the tank in a circular motion in the air for about five seconds. Then let the tank sit for 30 seconds. Repeat this process according to the developer/film instructions. When the time is up, pour the developer back into the developer's jar.

7

Halt the development process. Pour the stop bath solution through the opening in the top of the developer tank. Agitate the tank carefully for about 30 seconds, and then pour the stop bath back into the stop bath's jar.

8

Apply the fixer solution. Add the fixer to the developer tank and agitate the tank for about five seconds at 30-second intervals. Continue this process in accordance with the developer/film instructions, and then pour the fixer back into its jar.

9

Rinse the chemicals off the film negatives. Remove the film from the processing tank and run the reel with the film still on it under a stream of 65- to 75-degree F water for about 1/2 hour.

10

Hang the film negatives strip to dry. Remove the film from the reel, wipe both sides of the film with a viscose sponge and then hang the film with clothespins on each end on a suspended, thin rope to dry. Attach one end of the film to the rope with a clothespin, and attach another clothespin to the bottom of the film. The bottom clothespin acts as weight to keep the film fairly straight.

11

Prepare the developing tanks for future use. Clean the tanks by rinsing them with water and letting them dry.

How to Light a Photography Studio

Lighting your photography studio does not need to be expensive. You can spend thousands on lighting equipment and specialized flashes, but it is best to start out with a more basic design of a few lights and umbrellas before investing in the "bells and whistles."

Instructions

1

Decide whether you want a ceiling-lit studio or a floor-based studio. Floor-based studios allow you to move the lighting around with greater freedom than a ceiling-lit studio would. Floor-based lighting offers a cost savings compared to a ceiling-based studio because you can start by purchasing a few simple pieces and expand from there. For the purpose of this article, we will be talking about a floor-based studio.

2

Decide if you will use natural light in your studio or not. If you have available natural light, you can get away with buying a smaller collection of lighting gear. If this is your plan, you must arrange your photo sessions according to when the natural light will be coming in.

3

Buy two light stands with umbrellas attached. The umbrellas will be used to diffuse the light for a softer look. Decide upon what level of light you will want to use with these light stands. Choose two different-strength bulbs to allow for variety in your studio.

4

Arrange the lighting in the manner most pleasing to your subject. Use the umbrellas to diffuse the light by either shining the light through the umbrellas or shooting the light off the umbrella so it bounces back onto the subject. You do not want the light going directly on the subject. The results will be too harsh and cast shadows.

5

Set up a backlight behind your backdrop to remove any shadows. The easiest way to do this is to set the backlight on the ground behind your background and shoot it upward, behind the subject. Don't let the backlight be too bright. You are simply using it to remove any shadows that the subject may cast on your background.

How to Get a Solid White Background for a Photo

High-key or white-background photography is very popular right now. It's also legendary among photographers as being one of the hardest effects to achieve perfectly. But with the right equipment and a little patience, getting a pure white photo background is fairly easy.

Instructions

1

Set up the roll of vinyl or paper on the backdrop stand. Thread the crosspiece through the center of the roll and attach to the riser poles on either side.

2

Set up the 400-watt lights. Set them to half-power and point them at a 45-degree angle--facing nearly square-on to the background and not pointing at each other. (See the video in Resources below for the proper angle.) Attach the high-performance reflectors to focus the light toward the backdrop.

3

Set up one of the 750-watt lights on full power to the right of the camera. Attach the soft box to this light and point it at a slight downward angle to add a natural, soft shadow to your subject.

4

Set up the other 750-watt light to the left of and behind the camera. This light should be at 3/4 power with the large bounce umbrella attached and pointed toward the middle of the backdrop.

5

Attach the radio triggers to the lights.The light to the left of and behind the camera should be triggered with the shutter, and the other lights set on "slave" mode to trigger at the same time.

6

Set up your camera. Adjust the ISO as low as possible to reduce noise and crank up the shutter speed and aperture. Take a few test shots and adjust your camera settings to suit your equipment and artistic needs.

How to Get a White Background in Stock Photography

The goal of stock photography is to create images that can represent a variety of angles and uses. Images must be bold and highlight the subject of the photo rather than a message. White backgrounds are crucial in stock photography as they allow whatever subject that is being photographed on it to stand out and pop without any distraction in the background. A person looking for a stock photo of a tomato wants a tomato and not a farmer's entire picture table. White backgrounds can either be made as full-scale backdrops or as small item light boxes.

Instructions

Backdrop

1

Set up a backdrop stand. You can either purchase a professional stand from a photo supply store or create one yourself. Homemade stands are most often made from PVC plumbing tubes found at hardware stores. They are lightweight and can be formed into frames by using joint pieces. Use reinforcing tape at all of the joints to make sure your stand does not crumble under the weight of the backdrop. If you prefer to use what you have lying around the house, look for coat rack stands or blank smooth walls upon which you can hang a backdrop.

2

Select a white backdrop. You can virtually use any type of material as a backdrop as long as it is white and free of texture. Thicker materials work better such as canvas, linen or photo backdrop specific drapes. White bed sheets can be used but tend to be see-through when illuminated. If using a sheet, double it.

3

Attach your backdrop to your stand or wall making sure it is large enough to cover the area you wish the camera to take in. Drape it so that it covers at least 3 feet of floor in order to disguise the horizon seam (where the background meets the floor). A curved angle will give the illusion of infinite space.

4

Set your white balance on your camera. The most important thing a photographer can do when desiring a perfect white background is to set the white balance on the camera. All digital camera models have different procedures for setting the balance, so consult your user's manual if you are unsure. Properly setting the white balance will cancel out any unnatural light effects that may add warm (yellow) or cold (blue) hues to the backdrop. Set the balance to studio light (you must tell it whether you are using incandescent or fluorescent) and adjust the temperature accordingly.

Light Box

5

Acquire an empty five-sided cardboard box or create one using cut foam board and tape. Line the box with white paper (do not line if using white foam board) allowing the background paper to drape fully over the floor of the box to hide the horizon seem. Secure all coverings with tape.

6

Cut a 3 x 3 inch three-side square in the top of the box (only cut three sides so that the fourth side acts as a hinge to allow you to open and close it).

7

Place two lights in front of the box angled inward at both sides, and a third light through the hole in the top. Position any small object inside of the box to take shots with a completely white background and foreground.

8

Set the white balance as outlined in step 4 of section 1 above.

The goal of stock photography is to create images that can represent a variety of angles and uses. Images must be bold and highlight the subject of the photo rather than a message. White backgrounds are crucial in stock photography as they allow whatever subject that is being photographed on it to stand out and pop without any distraction in the background. A person looking for a stock photo of a tomato wants a tomato and not a farmer's entire picture table. White backgrounds can either be made as full-scale backdrops or as small item light boxes.

Instructions

Backdrop

1

Set up a backdrop stand. You can either purchase a professional stand from a photo supply store or create one yourself. Homemade stands are most often made from PVC plumbing tubes found at hardware stores. They are lightweight and can be formed into frames by using joint pieces. Use reinforcing tape at all of the joints to make sure your stand does not crumble under the weight of the backdrop. If you prefer to use what you have lying around the house, look for coat rack stands or blank smooth walls upon which you can hang a backdrop.

2

Select a white backdrop. You can virtually use any type of material as a backdrop as long as it is white and free of texture. Thicker materials work better such as canvas, linen or photo backdrop specific drapes. White bed sheets can be used but tend to be see-through when illuminated. If using a sheet, double it.

Attach your backdrop to your stand or wall making sure it is large enough to cover the area you wish the camera to take in. Drape it so that it covers at least 3 feet of floor in order to disguise the horizon seam (where the background meets the floor). A curved angle will give the illusion of infinite space.
