Project: Depth of Field
We’ve had a few assignments so far in Photography 101. Our first was to learn about the wonders of the filter when developing. The second was landscape, portrait and still life. The third was depth of field. I scanned in a picture with middle ground in focus.
My sinsuses really don’t like the dark room chemicals, but what are you going to do?
Black and White
From roll 2, negative 19 on October 1, 2005 at Sandy Bottom Nature Park in Hampton. Shot on 100 ASA Kodak Black and White film with a Canon EOS Rebel G And 35-80mm lens. Developed on Ilford 8×10 MGIV RC paper for 30 seconds, filter 2 and at f-stop 8. The scan isn’t as ‘rich’ as the print. Maybe because the print is glossy. I’ll get a negative scanner one of these days or a scanner that is better than a $2 special.
Color
And when I go out and do 35mm work, I try to take along the digital camera. I like the black and white version better.

Interesting…the tall leafy grasses in the forefront are unfocused in the b&w, but sharp and clear in the digital color pic. Is it a filter on the camera or post work or what?

Better f-stops on the 35mm camera. I think I was down to 5.6. I focused on the birdhouse, which would make the grasses right in front of the lense (lense and grass distance was maybe a few inches) unfocused. Pretty neat way of drawing attention to something. It’s a great way to get rid of the fence in zoos.
