- Synopsis:
-
The course focuses on the theoretical knowledge and manual skills involved in the photographic process so that students are able to take advantage of the knowledge they acquired in their next production.
In the theoretical part the students will learn about the principles of photographic record and the types of photographic materials and their processing methods.
Through practical exercises the students will draw on their theoretical knowledge to obtain manual skills in the basic processing of black and white materials and in special photographic processing methods.
In sum, the students will obtain integrated knowledge about the photographic process and they will be able to fully engage in photographic production.
- Prerequisites:
-
Evaluation:
Practice: 4 black white photographs of 30 x 40 cm format (development kinetics)
Final exam: examination paper
List of topics for the final exam:
Photographic materials
Principle of photographic record due to silver halide
(The role of silver halide; theory of latent image, basic principles of processing, photochemical laws (Grotthus-Draper l., Bunsen-Roscoe l., Einstein l., Schwarzschild effect)
Photographic emulsion
Photographic emulsion ? the collection of AgHal micro crystals (influence of micro-crystals on sensitivity, granularity, contrast; improving sensitivity-granularity ratio due to new types of emulsion grains: T-grains, shell-core grains, epitaxial grains)
Production of photographic emulsion
Optical sensitation
Processing of photographic materials
Black&White photographic materials
Chemical development (principle of chem. development,; develop. agents; composition of developing solution).
Physical development (principle of physic. development; composition of developing solution).
Kinetics of development
Fixing (chemical principle, types of fixers)
Washing
Special photographic processing
Diffusion effects
Reducing and intensifying
Rehalogenations
Toning
Black&White reversal process
(Structure and processing of B&W reversal materials)
Colour photographic materials
Light and colour ? additive and subtractive colours
Physical principle of colour photographic record
Chemical principle of colour photographic record
Types of colour photographic materials
Negative-positive system (record principle and processing)
Colour reversal materials (record principle and processing)
Kodachrome (record principle and processing)
Colour materials based on diffusing processes
- Study Objectives:
- Outline and Syllabus:
-
In the theoretical part the students will be acquainted with the principle of photographic record and types of phot. materials and their processing methods.
In practical exercises the students will resume their theoretical knowledge to train manual skills in the basic processing of black and white materials as well as the skills needed for special photographic processing methods.
To summarize, the students will obtain integrated knowledge about photographic processing and the ability to completely use their photographic production..
