About this Event
An introduction to black and white film photography, which includes learning to process film and print black and white 35mm negatives. Class will meet to take pictures near Harwood, bring the film rolls to the darkroom and develop them. Each student will then have the chance to make a contact sheet of the film strips and choose the negatives to print by learning how to analyze printable negatives. Students will then print the chosen negatives on black and white paper. Students will know how to take good exposures by learning about the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO). They will learn the importance of a good exposure on the quality of their negatives and ultimately, the quality of their photographic prints.

Please Note : Class attendance is mandatory. As this class is a requirement for community members who are looking to rent time in the darkroom but are new to the development process, any student who misses more than one class meeting may be dropped from the class without a refund. Should a student accrue multiple absences but is not looking to reserve time in the darkroom, they are allowed to remain enrolled with the understanding that the missed time/instruction will not be made up, and the student will be required to repeat the course should they seek to book darkroom time at a future point.
