Learning Targets:
- You will know the parts to an enlarger and how to operate the enlarger to make prints
>>>>>>> You can identify the key parts to the enlarger and explain their purpose and operation - You will know how enlarger exposure settings work to generate a successful print
>>>>>>> You can determine proper exposure settings, make tests strips and adjust settings with a goal of a successful print.
MONDAY, MAY 8 - B DAY / TUESDAY, MAY 9 - A DAY
Good morning/afternoon. We are in the darkroom this week
Learning Target: You will know how to use the enlarger to make prints from negatives.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 10 - B DAY / TUESDAY, MAY 11 - A DAY
LEARNING TARGETS:
Tape the first two test strips as indicated on the page. Write a thoughtful response using complete sentences.
Give specifics to make clear points.
COPY THIS ONTO YOUR CONTACT SHEET HANDOUT ON PAGE 3
A contact sheet is a "positive" print of all of the negative's images from one film roll.
All the images are the same as the negative in a 1:1 ratio.
Materials needed: You use the same materials as for the test strip except the stiff card (black or grey).
How to set-up enlarger for the contact sheet:
You follow the same steps as the test strip except 1) your paper is sized to cover ALL negatives so it may be a half or full sheet and 2) your exposure time is the last "single" exposure time determined from your previous test strip.
Why do we make contact sheets?
It is a useful way of seeing all the images to determine which are the best photos to become prints.

Good morning/afternoon. We are in the darkroom this week
Learning Target: You will know how to use the enlarger to make prints from negatives.
- We will look at our test strips to determine our next exposure setting.
How to make test strips, contact test strips and contact sheet. LINK
Complete the page 1 and 2 of your Test Strip handout. - With teacher permission, you may make a contact sheet.
- Try to squeeze in some pinhole exposures. 12-15 Pinhole exposure assignment due May 25.
Please- No more than 15 people in the darkroom at any time.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 10 - B DAY / TUESDAY, MAY 11 - A DAY
LEARNING TARGETS:
- Students can evaluate their film “shooting” experience to determine what they have learned.
Refer to your Exposure Table card to answer the questions. - Students can evaluate their test strips to understand the importance of problem solving exposure settings to achieve a desired result. Each test strip is made with at least one change to the setting- exposure time, filter # or f-stop.
Tape the first two test strips as indicated on the page. Write a thoughtful response using complete sentences.
Give specifics to make clear points.

- start with a test strip first- 5 sec increments, #3 filter, F/5.6, go horizontally
- develop the test strip following the times, squeegee the print
- label as shown (see white board) and place in class drying rack
- return all items back to their proper location- photogram objects, etc.
