6. FILM WEB LINK FILM DEVELOPMENT PROCES FILM & PAPER CHOICES Since we are dealing with black & white film and prints in this course, the discussion is limited to these products. Photographic films vary in their SENSITIVITY to light. In other words, so films react faster to light than others. A films sensitivity is expressed with a number which as been standardized world-wide by the International Standards Organization. This is called the ISO number (the same as the American Standards Organization number or “ASA” number.) ISO numbers typically range from 32 to 3200, with 100 and 400 being common sensitivities. The HIGHER the number, the MORE sensitive a film is to light. The HIGHER the ISO number, the larger the grain structure of the film=less detailed image. The LOWER the ISO number, the smaller the grain structure of the film=more detailed image.

7. ISO 100

8. ISO 800

9. PHOTOGRAPHIC PAPER -Fiber -Resin Coated “R.C.” -Graded #'s 1-5 -Variable Contrast (Poly-Contrast or Multi-Grade) 0-5 using FILTERS in the enlarger -Glossy, Semi-Gloss, Matt surfaces -Warm tone -Cool tone

10. Early Photographic Artists These images will appear on the mid-term and final exams. You will be asked to identify the photographer who made each image. Dates and titles will not have to be memorized. You may also use these images as part of your “inspiration” project.
