I didn’t list which colors were primary and which were secondary. Red, green, and blue are primary colors in photography. Cyan, magenta, and yellow are the secondary colors.

The assignment is to take a couple pictures that tell a story somehow when they’re put together. I’ll post the pictures once I get them done.

Click the pics to make them bigger! Let me know what you think of my idea.

Kindergarten (German, literally means “children’s garden”) is a form of education for young children which serves as a transition from home to the commencement of more formal schooling. Children are taught to develop basic skills through creative play and social interaction. In most countries kindergarten is part of the preschool system. In parts of the United States, Canada and Australia (NSW, TAS and the ACT) kindergarten is the word used to describe the first year of compulsory education. In British English, nursery, playgroup or Reception is the usual term for preschool education, and “kindergarten” is rarely used. Children usually attend kindergarten any time between the ages of three and seven depending on the local custom.

There will be 40 questions which will be fill in the blank, true and false, and multiple choice.

The first set of questions will be filling in the values for aperture and shutter speed settings. She’ll give a few numbers and have you fill in the rest (the bold ones probably).

• Aperture

(not on test) The smaller number has a bigger opening and lets in more light
(not on test) The bigger number has a smaller opening and lets in less light
F 1.4 2 2.8 4 5.6 8 11 16 22 32

• Shutter speed

(not on test) The longer time lets in more light.
(not on test) The shorter time lets in less light.
1 sec 1/2 1/4 1/8 1/15 1/30 1/60 1/125 1/250 1/500 1/1000

• Next, bracketing questions like the ones she did every day at the beginning of class.

If you have f/11 and 1/125, and you want to use f/8, the shutter speed would be 1/250.
If you have f/11 and 1/125, and you want to use 1/1000, the aperture would be f/4.

Now for multiple choice.

• What are two things that adjust exposure? Aperture and shutter speed.
• Explain what ISO refers to. Sensitivity to light (film speed)
• What are three factors that affect the depth of field? F-stop, focal length, distance from the subject.
• If the lens lets less light in, what happens to the depth of field? The depth of field increases (more depth of field).
• If you use a long or telephoto lens, what happens to the depth of field? You get short depth of field.
• (not on test) If you use a wide angle lens, what happens to the depth of field? You get more depth of field.
• If you are close to the subject, what happens to the depth of field? You get less depth of field.
• If you are far from the subject, what happens to the depth of field? You get more depth of field.
• (not on test) 85mm and up is a long or telephoto lens, 50mm is a normal lens, and 35 mm and below is a wide angle lens.

These are the fill in the blank questions.

• The name of the Kodak product that we use for development is D-76.
• In printing, the technique of adding additional exposure in one place is called (making it darker in some area) burning.
• In printing, the technique of using less exposure in one place (making it lighter in some area) is called dodging.
• In the darkroom, we use filters to increase/decrease the contrast.
• If a print has a lot of gray but no black or white, it is called flat (as in the tonality is flat).
• The shadow area in the negative appears light.
• One printed, the shadow area appears dark.
• When making a print in the darkroom, what is the starting aperture? f/8
• A device that measures light reflected from subject or light falling onto a subject is called what? Light meter
• What are the primary colors of light? Red, green and blue
• What are the secondary colors of light? Yellow, cyan, and magenta
• If you are using a yellow filter, what color is lightened? Yellow
• If you are using a blue filter, what color is lightened? Blue

These are the True/False questions.

• Temperature and time are very critical when processing film? True
• We agitate our film while processing to prevent trapped air bubbles? False (we rap to get rid of bubbles)
• Variable contrast filter at 2½ and above is used to increase contrast? True
• An incident light meter is used to measure the light reflected from a subject? False
• Film with a small ISO number is less sensitive to light? True

These are the Multiple Choice questions.

• What is the difference between ISO 100 and ISO 400? 2 stops
• An overexposed negative will give a? Light print
• Focal length of a lens affects? All of the above (perspective and depth of field)
• Which is not a type of motion created by usage of shutter speed? Agitation
• The f/22 lets ½ the light in as f/16.
• Which aperture setting lets in 4x as much light as f/5.6? 2.8
• To get as much in focus as possible from foreground to background, how much would you focus? Focus about 1/3 into the scene
• Which lens will most likely produce a blurred picture at 1/60 sec? Long/telephoto lens
• When photographing a snow scene, the accurate exposure can be assured by? Increasing the exposure
• A reflective light meter give an accurate reading for? Middle gray
• Using #4 or higher filter, the exposure time needs to be adjusted by increasing 50-100%.
• Choose the aperture stop that would give the least depth of field. f/2.8 (the smallest number/biggest aperture opening)
• Which focal length lens will give you the widest angle of view? 28mm (the smallest one)
• Proper agitation during the film processing saturates the fresh chemical solution.

Easy as pi (3.14). Much success to you.
