The document summarizes the steps for processing 35mm film: 1. Water rinse to clean dust, 2. Developer exposes silver in light areas, 3. Stop bath stops developing, 4. Fixer removes unexposed silver allowing light/clear areas, 5. Multiple water rinses clean chemicals, 6. Photo flo prevents spots and protects negatives.

STEPS FOR
PROCESSING
35mm FILM you DO NOT need to
memorize the times!
but you should know
what the steps do!
1. Water Rinse - cleans off dust
2. Developer - oxidizes the silver that got exposed to light (makes
it dark!)
3. Stop Bath - stops the developing process
4. Fixer - removes unexposed silver from the film (allows there to
be clear / light areas in your negatives!) don’t pour it down the
drain!
5. Water Rinse - cleans off chemicals
6. Perma Wash - cleans off fixer even more
7. Water Rinse - cleans off Perma Wash
8. Photo Flo - prevents water spots, protects negatives

2. APERTURE
in this light meter....
if this is lit up, it is OVER-exposed (too much light)
+
if this is lit up, the picture will be well exposed
This light meter tells you where your exposure is
based on your shutter speed and aperture settings.
You want to change your settings until the triangle is
on “zero” - meaning it is balanced - not OVERexposed or UNDER-exposed.
+ +
•
-
if this is lit up, it is UNDER-exposed (too little light)
This light meter is giving you “stops” - example: if the
triangle is on “-1”, it is one “stop” UNDER-exposed.
To fix this, you could change either your aperture or
shutter speed by ONE stop in the direction of
allowing in MORE light.

SHUTTER SPEED
...the _________________ to set your camera to.
If it is BLINKING on the top or bottom number, it means the
camera can’t find a shutter speed that works with your aperture
in the current conditions. In this case, change your aperture.

If it is BLINKING on the top or bottom number, it means the
camera can’t find an aperture that works with your shutter speed
in the current conditions. In this case, change your shutter speed.
On the quiz, you will be given several examples (one each of the types
shown above) of light meters.
For each example, you will be told what settings you (as the photographer)
have chosen.
You will be shown what the camera is telling you.
Then you will be asked what you should change in order to get a properly
exposed photograph.
In this example, the camera is telling you that for ƒ22, which you have
chosen, even at 1 second you can’t get enough light.You would need to
open your aperture to let in more light (a smaller number, such as ƒ5.6)
and check again to see what shutter speed the camera now recommends.
