Making a Black and White print

1.) List the materials (equipment) necessary to make a black and white print

• trays, 
• an enlarger 
• a repeatable enlarger timer,
• a paper cutter,
• a paper safe, 
• enlarging lenses, 
• a safelight 
• way to hang up the prints to dry

2.) List the chemicals we might be using to make a print and where one would buy those chemicals

• Developer,which causes the silver iodide of the film or paper emulsion to darkness  if its has been exposed to light.
• Fixer, which removes the undeveloped silver iodide from the emulsion. 
• A chemical used to completely stop the development process is called stop bath, and is used between the developer stage and the fixer stage in both b&w film & paper processing.
• You can buy these chemicals at any good camera store, if not you can also buy online.

3.) Summarize in one or two paragraphs the process from start to finish


4.) Post a photo of the equipment necessary to make a black and white print


1. emulsion-   a composition sensitive to some or all of the actinic rays of light, consisting of one or more of the silver halides suspended in gelatin, applied in a thin layer to one surface of a film or the like.
2. aperture- 

an opening, as a hole, slit, crack, gap, etc.

3. masking easel - 
4. exposure-

the total amount of light received by a photosensitive surface or an area of such a surface, expressed as the product of the degree of illumination and the period of illumination.

5. safe light-

a darkroom light with a filter that transmits only those rays of the spectrum to which films, printing paper, etc., are not sensitive.

6. dodging- (in printing) to shade (an area of a print) from exposure for a period, while exposing the remainder of the print in order to lighten or eliminate the area (sometimes fol. by out )
7. burning- burn in, Photography . (in printing) to expose (one part of an image) to more light by masking the other parts in order to darken and give greater detail to the unmasked area.
