  • Session Outline: History of the Daguerreotype
    Fundamentals of the Conservation of Photographs SESSION: History of the Daguerreotype INSTRUCTOR: Grant B. Romer SESSION OUTLINE ABSTRACT The daguerreotype process evolved out of the collaboration of Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre (1787- 1851) and Nicephore Niepce, which began in 1827. During their experiments to invent a commercially viable system of photography a number of photographic processes were evolved which contributed elements that led to the daguerreotype. Following Niepce’s death in 1833, Daguerre continued experimentation and discovered in 1835 the basic principle of the process. Later, investigation of the process by prominent scientists led to important understandings and improvements. By 1843 the process had reached technical perfection and remained the commercially dominant system of photography in the world until the mid-1850’s. The image quality of the fine daguerreotype set the photographic standard and the photographic industry was established around it. The standardized daguerreotype process after 1843 entailed seven essential steps: plate polishing, sensitization, camera exposure, development, fixation, gilding, and drying. The daguerreotype process is explored more fully in the Technical Note: Daguerreotype. The daguerreotype image is seen as a positive to full effect through a combination of the reflection the plate surface and the scattering of light by the imaging particles. Housings exist in great variety of style, usually following the fashion of miniature portrait presentation. The daguerreotype plate is extremely vulnerable to mechanical damage and the deteriorating influences of atmospheric pollutants. Hence, highly colored and obscuring corrosion films are commonly found on daguerreotypes. Many daguerreotypes have been damaged or destroyed by uninformed attempts to wipe these films away.

  • Digital Camera Functions All Photography Is Based on the Same
    Digital Camera Functions All photography is based on the same optical principle of viewing objects with our eyes. In both cases, light is reflected off of an object and passes through a lens, which focuses the light rays, onto the light sensitive retina, in the case of eyesight, or onto film or an image sensor the case of traditional or digital photography. The shutter is a curtain that is placed between the lens and the camera that briefly opens to let light hit the film in conventional photography or the image sensor in digital photography. The shutter speed refers to how long the curtain stays open to let light in. The higher the number, the shorter the time, and consequently, the less light gets in. So, a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second lets in half the amount of light than a speed of 1/30th of a second. For most normal pictures, shutter speeds range from 1/30th of a second to 1/100th of a second. A faster shutter speed, such as 1/500th of a second or 1/1000th of a second, would be used to take a picture of a fast moving object such as a race car; while a slow shutter speed would be used to take pictures in low-light situations, such as when taking pictures of the moon at night. Remember that the longer the shutter stays open, the more chance the image will be blurred because a person cannot usually hold a camera still for very long. A tripod or other support mechanism should almost always be used to stabilize the camera when slow shutter speeds are used.

  • An Uphill Struggle: Where There Is a Will There Is a Way Maz Mashru July
    An uphill struggle: Where there is a will there is a way Maz Mashru M.Photog, Cr.Photog(USA), FMPA,FRPS,FBIPP,FSWPP,FBPPA,FMIPP,QEP,ASP July 2016 An uphill struggle: Where there is a will there is a way The Beginning My roots are from India, but I was born in a small town in Uganda, Africa where my father had moved to in search of work in the early 1940’s. My father settled in Uganda, having gone back to marry my mother, in the hope of a better life for his family compared to one he could have provided had he remained in India. My parents had six children with me being the eldest. In our village, education was very basic therefore my parents sent me to a boarding school in the nearby city of Mbale. At the boarding house, I became fascinated with cameras and my passion to own a camera grew. In the boarding house, spending money had to be deposited with the “superintendent”. We were only able to withdraw the equivalent to £1.00 (in the money at that time) per week and as I was becoming more and more eager to own a camera, I made an excuse that I needed a new pair of shoes, so I could withdraw more money. The money allowed to me the purchase my first camera, an Agfa Clack (roll film camera), which cost the equivalent of £3.50 (in the money at the time). At the time, £3.50 was deemed to be a lot of money therefore a camera was perceived as a luxury item.

  • ARTS 2356 Photography I ASSIGNMENT: PHOTOGRAMS DUE
    ARTS 2356 Photography I ASSIGNMENT: PHOTOGRAMS DUE: Assignment: Photograms Photography is often associated with “reality” or the capturing of “reality”. For a beginning photographer, the significance of this assignment is to experience the photographic medium without the distraction of this familiar association between photography and “reality.” A photogram consists of a photographic print or image being made without the traditional use of a negative. A photogram is made by placing any two or three dimensional object or objects between a light source and light-sensitive photographic paper. A wide range of values and details may be achieved with this process depending on the nature (shape, opacity, reflective quality texture, etc.) of the objects used. While making photograms all elements of design (composition, form, line, value, etc.) should be considered. For this assignment you will make several photograms on 8x10 paper. Use the images of landscapes/environments/place and still-lifes that you have collected in your journal as a guide for your photograms. You may choose to emulate an individual image directly or use combinations of the images to build a new composition. You may find it helpful to make simplified sketches of the original images. Study the images and sketches in your journal, giving consideration to the following: value (lights/darks), line, shape, pattern, texture, and composition. Collect objects considering their physicals properties such as shape, contour, reflective quality, texture, and opacity and how you think light will react... reflect and/or pass-through these objects. Please do not bring liquids or fine powdery/grainy/gritty substances to use for your photogram assignment..
