He was also a lecturer in photography, and in order to help his students understand basic sensitometry, he devised the Zone System in the mid-to-late 1940s. The Zone System is based on sensitometric research carried out by many before him, especially Hurter and Driffield (1890) and Jones and Condit (1940-41). The basis of the Zone System is the division of the various tones of the photograph into Zones, as given below. I The darkest black of which the paper is capable. II The darkest black distinguishable from Zone I III The darkest tone with texture and detail IV Dark mid tones V The mid-tone, defined as an 18 per cent grey VI Light mid tones VII The lightest tone with texture and detail VIII The lightest tone distinguishable from paper-base white IX Pure paper-base white The steps between Zones III-IV, IV-V, V-VI and VI-VII are one stop each (a density of 0.30) on the print. zone system testing the bottom line Go to the list of modules

The Zone System Explained N-Development obviously works best with sheet film as each sheet can be processed separately. If you are using roll or 35mm film you can use the above method but it is possible to expose as instructed above but develop the film normally. Contrast control can then be adjusted when the print is made. Many photographers test each camera lens they use, due to resultant light loss due to transmission factors. Film is often bought in bulk. To test your film a 'Kodak' 18% Grey Card is required.

how orbital processing sheet film in a paterson orbital Processing sheet film is a perennial problem, especially for the beginner. The Paterson Orbital tank, designed for processing colour prints, is extremely useful for formats up to 8x10 inches. It can take one 8x10 inch or 18x24cm or whole plate; or two 5 x 7 inch/13 x 18 cm/half plate; or four 4x5 inch/9x12cm (or presumably quarter-plate, though we have not tried it). As the illustrations show, it is essentially a processing tray with a curved bottom and a light-trapped lid. Better still, the volumes of chemicals needed are absurdly small, as noted below. roughening the inside of the tray Athough film can be processed in an unmodified Paterson Orbital, it is a good idea to roughen the base so that the film does not stick to it. We roughened ours (we have two) by 'kissing' them repeatedly with a Dremel tool fitted with a small burr. processing sequence The processing sequence is exactly the same as for any other daylight tank. chemical volumes

Stolen Moments: Matt Stuart on His Fascination with Street Photography Here’s an interesting video in which street photographer Matt Stuart shares some of his work and talks about his love for street photography. In an interview with More Intelligent Life, Stuart states, I’d like to be a mirror. And show people who live where I live what they’re like or what we’re doing or how we act. How we live. I think Garry Winogrand said he looks at people as animals and aren’t we bizarre? One interesting statement he makes in the video: “the lovely thing about street photography is [...] that the best stuff there’s absolutely no way you can stage, or even think of. (via ISO 1200)

The Unrepentant Flâneur’s Guide to Street Photography Part 2 « Modes of Flight Blog “The Way to the Light”; an exmaple of urban photography. Urban Photography and Street Photography; what’s the Difference and What to Shoot For? Is there a difference between urban and street photography? I, probably like most, use the terms interchangeably but even I can appreciate the opinions of those who insist on drawing a line between the two genres; even though it is a fine line. The simplest way to define urban photography (UP) as a distinguished photographic genre is to say that it is largely landscape photography; equally featuring great and hardly celebrated man-made structures, in an urban (sometimes suburban and rural) setting that usually only indicates the presence of human beings, and only rarely shows the actual presence of them. It’s the potential intent of a photographer to present the interior or exterior of a building as an artistic feature while in its worst condition or environment that most essentially separates UP from architectural photography (AP). “Thank you!
