Making a Black and White print

1.) Materials:
  • Safelight
  • Photographic Paper
  • Enlarger
  • Liquid Measurement Devices
  • Trays
  • Tongs
  • Thermometer
  • Negative
  • Squeegee
  • Paper Safe
2.) Chemicals:
  • Developer
  • Stop Bath
  • Fixer
3.) First you switch on the enlarger light. Place a masking easel on the baseboard. On the easel place the print paper, white side up and when done switch on enlarger light. Then you want to scale and focus the image. When you are done creatinga border around the image switch off the enlarger light. On the easel place a new print paper, sliky side up. In the filter holder place a filer and close securely. Then set the timer and press the start button. Finally expose the print paper and place the print paper in the developer, fixer, and stop bath tray.


                           
                        4.)


1.) Emulsion- a mixture of two or more unblendable liquids 
2.) Aperture- hole or an opening through which light travels
3.) Masking Easel- a flat metal plate with sliding arms on all four sides for cropping the image manually
4.) Exposure- the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium during the process of taking a photograph
5.) Safe light- a light source suitable for use in a photographic darkroom
6.) Dodging- decreases the exposure for areas of the print that should be lighter
7.) Burning- increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker
