Unit 36 Photographic Processing Laboratories

Photographic Processing Laboratories

ProAm provides both colour and black & white film. The film sizes they are able to process are all sizes of C41 and other popular processes like 35mm, 120 and even APS can be printed in the traditional way. They also are able to scan and then print old negatives such as 110, 126 and 127.  Proam uses both machines and hand printing.
The digital sizes that they do are:


5” x 3.5”

ProAm only can do up to A3 for printing and then they hand it over to ProPhotoPrint in Halifax to do larger sizes for fine print such as 10”x 8” to 60” x 43”. For the canvas the sizes can be from 12” to 10” to 60” x 38”. The gallery wraps come in four edge types (full wrap, mirrored, blurred, plain which can be black or white.) The poster prints are also available in sizes from 10” x 8” to 60” x 43”. The framing can be done by yourself or ProAm/ProPhotoPrint can do it for you. The mounting that is used can be brass hangers that are fixed to the rear of the frame.  The prices that ProAm provides have been the cheapest for the past four years running.

Unit 25 Final evaluation

Final evaluation For our first task, we had to research studio food photographers in order to take some techniques and learn about studio food photography more. I researched three photographers called Marcus Nilsson, David Munns and Matt Armendariz. What I got from all of those photographers were that simplicity in your photos is the best way to go about it. The next task was primary research where we had to go out and take pictures of food. I chose to go to the Oastler market to take pictures of fruit and vegetables. For this next task, we had to research the two different lighting types which were high key and low key. When researching these lighting types I found that using high key would be a better choice when taking food photographs because it looks like a window like. However, if you wanted a more dramatic effect with your images then you would use low key lighting. This follows into the next task which is studio lighting attachments. This is where we looked up different ligh...

Unit 25 Exposure meters

Image
Exposure meters  An exposure meter is a device that is used to measure the amount of light to determine a proper exposure. The earliest light meters were called extinction meters and they contained a numbered or lettered row that has natural density filters. This means that when the photographer would meter his subject the filter with the greatest density would still allow incident light to pass through. The letter or number (whatever type of row that you had) would correspond to the filter and this was used as an index into a chart of aperture and shutter speed combinations for a given film speed aka ISO. The only bad thing that occurred with the extinction meters was that they were heavily dependent on the light sensitivity of the human eye, this was bad because this can vary person to person. There are two general types of light meters which are reflected light and incident light. Reflected light meters measure the light that is reflected by the scene to be photographed....
