Art 353: Color Photography, Spring 2014 Lesley Krane Art 353: Color Photography, Spring 2014 Lesley Krane ([email protected]) Office: AC120 & AC502; Hours: MW 9:00-11am Catalogue Description: Preparatory: ART 250 or equivalent. Investigation into the various aspects of color photography, including: exposure and development of negative film; printing with color materials utilizing the subtractive color principles that underlie color filtration and correction; a brief survey of contemporary color photographers with an emphasis on aesthetics; and refinement of the students’ practice while developing their own visual style. May be repeated once for credit. Art Department Program Goals Implemented in Art 353 • Basic Skills!: Develop a foundation of art knowledge, theories, skills, and technologies, through which ideas and concepts are communicated in writing, speaking and art making. • Art Knowledge!: Broaden knowledge of ancient through contemporary art and develop an understanding of art within theoretical, cultural, and historical contexts. • Critical Thinking: !Analyze, interpret, and question traditional methodologies and pre-conceived notions of art and art making through the process of generating and solving problems. Student Learning Outcomes in Art 353 • Understand and apply the elements and principles of design as they relate to photography’s ability to impose a frame upon the three-dimensional world and translate it into two dimensions. • Acquire and apply intermediate photography knowledge and skills by using color photographic equipment and processes, both alternative and conventional. • Acquire knowledge of the history of color photography and contemporary color photography by looking at other artists’ photographs. • Analyze photographs, both verbally and written, through critique and self-reflection. Course requirements • Five graded assignments (worth twenty points each) will be given during the semester and will emphasize aesthetic and technical aspects of color photography. Consultation with Lesley about work in progress is required for each submission (non-consultation submissions are considered late). Each assignment will be submitted with proof sheets and a subjective, one-page, written component. Late assignments (due by the following assignment’s due- date) will earn lower scores. • Attendance and participation are required. Attendance will be taken at each class meeting and on “open lab” days; “open lab” allows students to photograph on campus, perform research, work in the color darkroom, and meet individually with Lesley. Students coming to class more than thirty minutes late will be marked “absent.” Students leaving class early will be marked “absent.” Being up to thirty minutes late to class three times counts as one absence. Having more than three absences, being absent at critique, turning in a late assignment, and/or failing to complete an assignment will prevent students from participating in the end-of-semester curve. Note: Art 353 may be taken two times for credit. “Second semester” students work independently and take responsibility for developing a conceptual direction for their work. Four “second semester critiques” are required; second semester students will participate in four of the five scheduled critiques and submit two proof sheets, four enlargements, and a one-page written component for each critique. Consultation with Lesley about work in progress is required for each submission (non- consultation submissions are considered late). Each submission will be worth twenty-five points.

Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".[6] However, differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.[2] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the Coarse bokeh on a photo shot with an 85 mm lens and 70 mm entrance pupil diameter, which depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow corresponds to f/1.2 focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions. Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it is often associated with such areas.[2] However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.

  • Kodak Ektachrome Pro Infrared EIR Film
    First Exposure Kodak Ektachrome Professional Infrared EIR Film Kodak EIR show with #12 yellow filter. If there is any film that truly defines the difference between the "art" and the "science" of photography, it has to be Kodak's Ektachrome Infrared IE. This film became popular for scientific docu- mentation and for those who wanted to capture unique color variations of the norm on transparency film. This film was processed in E-4 chemistry, and Kodak continued to manufacture it al- though they switched other Ekta- chromes to the E-6 process. After consid- erable prodding from photographers, Kodak finally decided to upgrade to Ektachrome Infrared EIR film, an E-6- process film. This pleased many large format photographers who used infrared film for aerial, commercial and scientific studies. To satisfy the 35mm users, Kodak now cuts the large manu- EIR shot with #12 filter, scanned and reversed in Photoshop. factured rolls down to a 35mm perfo- rated version called Ektachrome Pro- fessional Infrared EIR film. This is the first positive infrared film that can be processed in either E-6 or AR-5 process- es. [Note: AR-5 is an Eastinan Kodak pro- cess intermediary between E-4 and E-6 that produces less contrast than E-6 and is pri- marily designed for aerial photographers— we think tlie "AR" actually stands for Aerial Reconnaissance, although no one will con- finn that. AR-5 cheimstry is still sold by Kodak, but the company no longer offers the process as a service; see below—Ed. I Using EIR This is not a simple film which you merely pop into your camera and start shooting.

  • The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers
    THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY IDEAS AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ESSENTIAL REFERENCE GUIDE FOR FILMMAKERS Good films—those that e1ectively communicate the desired message—are the result of an almost magical blend of ideas and technological ingredients. And with an understanding of the tools and techniques available to the filmmaker, you can truly realize your vision. The “idea” ingredient is well documented, for beginner and professional alike. Books covering virtually all aspects of the aesthetics and mechanics of filmmaking abound—how to choose an appropriate film style, the importance of sound, how to write an e1ective film script, the basic elements of visual continuity, etc. Although equally important, becoming fluent with the technological aspects of filmmaking can be intimidating. With that in mind, we have produced this book, The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers. In it you will find technical information—about light meters, cameras, light, film selection, postproduction, and workflows—in an easy-to-read- and-apply format. Ours is a business that’s more than 100 years old, and from the beginning, Kodak has recognized that cinema is a form of artistic expression. Today’s cinematographers have at their disposal a variety of tools to assist them in manipulating and fine-tuning their images. And with all the changes taking place in film, digital, and hybrid technologies, you are involved with the entertainment industry at one of its most dynamic times. As you enter the exciting world of cinematography, remember that Kodak is an absolute treasure trove of information, and we are here to assist you in your journey.
