List every little thing you can remember about photography. Don't worry about complete sentences, but try to get complete thoughts typed out.

ISO - Sensitivity of Material

Higher ISO causes grain

Aperture - Amount of light allowed into the camera (Controls DOF) (Larger F/Stop smaller opening)

Shutter Speed - How long light is allowed into the camera (Larger number faster shutter)

Rule of thirds

Leading Lines

Framing

Rule of Odds

DSLR Cameras require a stable surface for shutter speeds below 60

Mirrorless Cameras require a stable surface for shutter speeds below the focal length

Flash is a last resort

The aperture is how much light is let in and smaller numbers is less light because of a smaller opening. Shutter speed determined how fast the shutter opens. The ideal ISO is 400. Photo composition rules are leading lines, rules of 3rds and framing.

-Aperture is amount of light being exposed and shutter is how long the aperture is open

-Film cameras should be on a steady surface

-Enlargers are used to put negatives on photo paper

-Test stripes should be on the area with the most contrast

-Developer is the first step of the chemicals

-Line, form, shape, pattern, texture, light, tone

-It takes longer to develop negatives than test strips/photo paper

-At least 1 inch margins when mounting

-Let chemicals drip between developing steps so chemicals are not wasted and/or contaminated.

-Reels are used to load film

-Minimum of 5 minutes in the fixer

ILF-400 film
400 ISO when shooting film
Lower ISOs generate less grainy photographs, however the ISO may need to be increased in areas of extreme low light
Triangle of Reciprocity--ISO, aperture, shutter speed
4 basic camera parts -- light-sensitive paper, shutter, camera body, aperture
Rule of Thirds places subjects (outside of portraiture) on a line/point of a 3x3 grid to increase visual interest
Tank parts include the liquid saver, film reel, film tank, and light-tight funnel
Paper developing steps include developer, stop bath, wash, fixer, and sink wash
Film developer is temperature-sensitive and requires agitation-time adjustment accordingly
To rewind film; press the film rewind button, lift the film rewind lever, turn in the direction of the arrow until you hear a pop or feel no tension and release the camera back
Rules of Composition include mergers, framing, leading lines, and rule of thirds
Line, shape, form, tone, texture, pattern, and light make up the Elements of Composition
Depth of field refers to the ability to change the subject of a photograph based on the aperture of the camera
f/5.6 is the ideal aperture for portraiture
Aperture priority allows for the aperture to stay the same while the shutter speed and ISO adjust accordingly
Shutter priority allows for the shutter speed to stay the same while the aperture and ISO adjust accordingly
Slower shutter speeds will capture more motion ("ghosting") while faster shutter speeds create "freeze frames" best for things like sports photography
