This week Photo I is taking pictures using a method called pushing.
This assignment is pushing film. Students should take a roll of film and shoot it at a higher ISO setting. Ex. If a student is shooting 400 ISO film and they want to push the film to 800 then they just set there ISO on their camera from 400 to 800. With 100 the student will adjust ISO to 400. This is used in low light situations where you might not want your subject to be blurred and the use of flash would not be advantageous. The disadvantages to this is that the pictures will have a higher level of grain and contrast.
Example:
Example:
As described above, the student will set their ISO (film speed) to a higher ISO setting (EX. if film rated speed is 400 one can push it to 800 or 1600). This allows the photographer the ability to take pictures in low light settings without the use of a flash, which might not work when using the films rated speed. 6 prints will need to be submitted for grading.
