PHOTOGRAPHY 1Black and White Photography Matakuliah : U0173 / FOTOGRAFI 1
Seeing in Black and White • Another way of interpreting the subject • Predict how colors will translateinto tones • Translate the complex play of light into simple tones of black, white and gray with shape, form, lines, pattern, etc.
Visualization • Predict the tonal value of a subject • Depends on : light falling on it
Zone system • Zone system as color on BW photography • Scale from white to black • Consist of 10 zone • Zone V is the mid tone / middle gray
Zone System • I -II: Black without detail • III : Black with detail • IV : Dark gray • V : Middle gray • VI : Light gray • VII : White with detail • VIII-X : White without detail
Composing in tones • Success in B&W photos depends on the ability to see how the tone works together • Shape • Camera angle vs background • Filters • Contrast, shadow • Toning the print
Filters in BW • Complementary color : darken the image • Same color : lighten the image • Ex : Orange filter, lighten the skin tone (white with detail) • Green filter, darken the skin tone
Toning • Sepia toning : “old, warm, nostalgic” • Blue toning : cool, mystery
Films • Pure black and white films • Process in C41
Films Pure black and white films • Process: in pure B&W process • Print : can be printed on pure B&W paper or Color paper • Ex: Kodak T-max 100, 400, 3200 Ilford HP5 Fuji Neopan SS, etc
Films • C-41 (color process) • Process: in color process C41 • Print : can be printed on pure B&W paper or Color paper • Kodak : T-400 CN • Ilford XP2
Basic Darkroom Knowledge The B&W Dark Room A place where we can turn our B&W film into negatives and finally print them on photo paper Understanding Latent Image The process from picture taking into a final photographic print
Film Processing This a process is to turn our light sensitive film into negative, bringing out the latent image in the film and turning them non light sensitive. The Equipments Developing tank , Developing reels , The Chemicals Developer , Stop Bath , Fixer
The functions of the chemicals • Developer / Development process To bring out the latent image inside a roll of film by changing silver halide into metallic silver. This process turns all exposed areas of the film into dark densities of silver metal. • Stop Bath This step is to halt the development process • Fixer The fixer solution patents the silver halide that has been converted into silver metal and discards the remaining silver halides not exposed to light, making the the film no longer sensitive to light. Latent image : invisible image recorded on photographic emulsion as a result of exposure to light. The latent image converted into a visible image by the action of developer.
