This test will check to make sure your camera is in working order and give you something to process and print for your introduction to B&W printing.
Shoot your first gray card exposure at "rule of thumb" which is f16 at 1/ISO (shutter speed) in bright sunlight. All these shots will have someone holding a gray card, photograph them at least from waist up and include a full range of tones, highlights to shadows behind them. Make sure the sun is somewhere behind you, preferably slightly to one side. Also make sure the gray card does not reflect the sun into your lens (remember angle of incidence = angle of reflection). Your second shot should be what your meter reads off the gray card, this will be your "normal." (See how close your normal comes to the rule of thumb to check your meter and write it down). From your normal, bracket in each direction adding and subtracting 1 stop, and/ or 2 stop increments. This should take up your first 8 exposures. After that, shoot 12 exposures arranging interesting compositions with shape, form and texture; light being your subject. Then assuming you have 36 exposures, shoot the next 12 shots without looking through the view finder. Don't shoot the same shots again, shoot new images for the second 12.
We are combining the "Looking At Light" assignment with this test, so look over that assignment (available in the "Art 151 News" blog) and photograph a scene with a foreground, middle ground, and background. Facing North, choose non-moving objects at three times of the day; in the morning, noon and late afternoon -use only one frame for each time. Look for interesting shadows and the way hue, texture and form change as the sun moves across the sky. You may need to adjust your exposure accordingly, indicate your images on the proof sheet so I know where they are.
Process this roll, after you get back your scanned images, look them over and send me your favorite 3 from the 12 through the viewfinder, 3 with out the viewfinder and your 3 images of the same location at different times of the day (looking at light). Be ready to discuss in class and show the Grey card test. Send a typed paragraph about your results with the images when you hand them in. Keep it short and to the point of your observations about the assignment.
