Term
Daguerrotype
Definition
Neg Louis Daugerre 1837 uses silver hallide prints onto copper plate, iodine coating sometimes gold plated. Couldn't make a replica of. Develop with mercury vapor. don't want to expose to oxygen. Exposure 5 min.
Term
Describe and define "characteristic curve" and information represented within include all relevant terms.
Definition
relationship between exposure and density
toe shoulder marginal black marginal white
d min- base+fog
d max- fully exposed
(L.A.D.)
Slope= D/Log E
Gamma is found in straight line portion
Term
Describe the difference between and functions of color couplers and sensitizing dyes in color film emulsions.
Definition
Sensitizing dyes play a part in translating the light energy and pass it onto the silver halide.
Color Couplers release color cloud dyes when activated by the developer.
Term
Describe the process by which silver halides grains produce a color image.
Definition

1) light w/ sensitizing dye
2) reacts w/ silver halide

3) AgI developer react w/ color coupler
5. Ag is removed (leaving only dye)

Term
Outline detailed step-by-step plan to establish the exact sensitivity of a specific film emulsion, the proper exposure to create a perfect 18% grey card exposure and perfect print with predictable printing lights. Refer to LAD and the use of a densitometer.

Term
Tintype
Definition
Neg
Hamilton Smith 1856 Tintype uses tin as base for prints. exposure cheap and affordable development MQ paint tin black for display. Iodione and silver nitrates suspension. Collodion developer
Term
To what types of light is the native silver halide molecule sensitive
Definition
Blue & UV Light
Term
What affect does push processing have on film?
Definition

Steeper Gamma and Shadows
Higher Contrast

Smokey Blue color

Term
What are the differences between an optical printer and continous contact printer?
Definition

Optical Printer
Gate
Shutter
Lens Modification
slower

Contact Printer
Single slit of light

Exact copy

Faster

Term
What color dyes are found in processed color film. Subtractive or Additive?
Definition
Cyan, Magenta and Yellow

Subtractive
Term
What is a densitometer and why might a lab use one?
Definition
A densitometer measures the opacity of a film stock. They can make sure their laboratory process meets L.A.D. standards.
Term
What is a wet gate printer and why would you use one?
Definition
A wet gate printer is a contact printer removes dust and hair repairs base scratches has three ways of printing total immersion, liquid gate and dip tank
Term
What is gamma and where can it be found on a characteristic curve? How is it measured? How one can determine the properties of an emulsion by knowing the gamma of the film.
Definition
Gamma= Tangent = D/Log E
Contrast, Latitude
Gamma is the slope of a characteristic curve. It can be found on the straight line portion. The gamma is density over log E. By knowing the gamma of film it allows you to manipulate and correct it properly by using such a thing as a hazeltine.
Term
What is silver chloride and how is it significant to the photographic process? What are the other silver halides?
Definition
AgCl Johan Schulze 1725
A salt made out of chloride binded with water turns to black when exposed. silver iodine AgI, Silver Brodine Ag br
Term
When exposing a scene, which three terms are the most critical in determining the proper exposure?
Definition
Marginal Black, Contrast range of scene and film speed
Term
White light is all color
Definition
1666 Isaac Newton
Term
Why might it be important to use the same lab for a project whenever possible?
Definition

Consistency
1) processing due to chemistry
2) build relationship

3) consistency in printing

Term
development then allows for the control of...
