do let us know the grade you receiven on your homework, mmkay.

:smileys:

1. Open the back
2. Buying the film
3. Time, Temp, and volume
4. Nothing if changes are opposites
5. No lens is average
6. All the same, because Volume of light is effect by time
7. Any
8. All, but
9. Only 2 Shutter speed and F-Stop; film speed does not effect how much light reaches the film
10. White and black
11. The subject
12 All within EV range
13. f1.8

14. Move the background

I think the answers depend on wether you believe in God or Camus (I get different ones because I follow the philosophy of Lao Tzu) ;-)

ok: numerically "equal" since most people talk about 60th or 250th of
a second as if they are whole numbers. But technically you are most correct.

ok - but keep "light objects" more in mind. "overall dark scenes" are
difficult to meter.

no. the most important dark areas you need to record. Almost always the
shadowed areas. the rest will take care of itself.

ok (images taken with different FL lenses, so that they present the
subject at the same size, will have the same DOF at the same f-stop. Thus
using a 90 mm lens, and backing up to fill the frame, will get the same
results as a 50mm lens closer up. Perspective will change, however.)

Congrats to ksmattfish on his A

For 13, look up, depth of field.

For 8, look at the shutter speed dial on a camera.

For 6, you can find the answer again, by looking up depth of field. They kind of have to do with each other. if you find a good course it'll mention this.

For 7, kind of has to do with 8.

For 9, kinda obvious when you pick up any roll of film.

For 2, THERE ARE 10!? What film is this?? BW or colour?? Does this include washing and drying lol? I really don't know. i think of them as all critical. Maybe..oh i dont know. I'll take a stab and say its a trick question and say stop bath lol

Did you happen to attribute your answers to ksmattfish, because otherwise thats known as plagiarism. :roll:

 

[havoc]

Normally Orie i would agree with you, but did you see his answer given to the question posed to him? We tried to trip him up and he answered with an intelegent thoughtful answer. I think he deserved the answers...... this time.

Hahahaha! :lmao:

10. What should you avoid metering?

ok - but keep "light objects" more in mind. "overall dark scenes" are
difficult to meter.

Black and white only and a little bit with color negative. Try this with slide film and you'll have a bunch of over exposed pictures.

And one more thing. If you couldn't figure these out from the book I can only assume your teacher said to read, if not even gave to you, enjoy your 90% as much as you can until kharma catches up to you

He probably went to another forum to cheat on that one...
