The Film Photography Courses 2 - Basic Lighting Techniques

The Film Photography Courses includes basic film photography information using the traditional photographic skills which predate digital photography. I have taught traditional photography and digital photography at a number of public universities and colleges for nearly 40 years, but with the rise in digital imaging I felt that many of these legacy techniques and methodologies might be lost. Here I present simple, straight forward information on the basics of photography. Each of the four courses is a stand-alone course, with each building on knowledge from the previous courses. These courses were a university semester in length. Photography 2 - Basic Lighting - artificial lighting, electronic flash, medium format cameras, photographic emulsions/chemicals, Infrared photography. Also, a light box you can build. All significant course information which I handed out to my many photography students over the years is included except the shooting and writing assignments. Good luck on your adventure using film photography. I pity photographers who haven’t worked under a dim safelight watching with wonderment as an image slowly, miraculously appears in the developer tray. Here is information photographers have used for nearly two centuries. When I began photography, I thought it was magic . . . and I still do. Enjoy! John Henry Johnson
