i’m doing my senior project on the history of black and white photography, than on setting up a dark room and in the ending i’m showing the process of developing film. i need more interesting facts and legit websites for it! please help! thanks

The history of black and white photography will be easy for you to find, but as far as how to develop film:

Film Developing 101: Basis steps in developing negatives (or printing photographs).

1. Developing – the longer you leave it in the developer, the darker the image gets.
With printing you watch them get darker, and take them out when they are as dark as you like them. However with negatives you can’t see the images because the film is in a light-free container, so you develop for a set time – depending on the film type.

2. Stop-Bath – when developing is done, a stop-bath stops the images from getting darker. It is usually a mild acetic acid type solution, and it only stays there for a few seconds.

3. Fixer – the fixer hardens the film (or prints) so they will last a long time.

4. Wash the negatives (or prints), and let them dry. This is very important because any residual chemicals will gradually eat at the film (or prints) and they will deteriorate over time – they will fade or turn yellow.

With printing you don’t need total darkness but you can use a “safelight” (a very dim, amber-colored light). However with film, you need a closet or bathroom that you can make totally dark – you need this to load the film into the light-free container. After this is done, everything can be done with the lights on – most people probably use a bathroom. For supplies, you only need the light-free container to put the film into; the chemicals, which are in plastic bottles; a sink to wash the negatives; somewhere to hang the film to dry – a shower curtain rod, for instance.

Easy!!

Good quality black and white is a lost art, probably because it is no longer profitable for labs to do it, so they are discontinuing the service. With Photoshop though, the possibilities are endless. What is unfortunate is that unless you have done the old-fashioned type printing by hand, you can’t really appreciate (or have an eye for) what really good black and white prints should look like. However, looking at some of the photographs on this website, you will see black and white at its finest.

Good luck.

Black And White Photography Facts

In photography;; how is this done..?

I saw a picture today of this girl, and the picture was completely black and white except for her blue sweater, which stood out brightly against the black and white contrast. I am wondering if this was a camera or photoshop’s doing..?
(and if it is in fact a camera that does this, what kind of camera exactly?)

There is no camera that can help you with this one, this can be done in any number of programmes photoshop is definitely one of the more heard of and professional. You take a colour photo select the area that you want to be in black and white leaving the colour on the so called jumper to stand out. It is called de-saturation, its not too difficult to do once you know how.

-boring- BUT IMPORTANT UPDATE, PLEASE WATCH!

Data on the color and black and white photography?

I only need data on the color and black and white photography to compare my / Try to get back at them. Thanks! Sincerely, Dallas

Well, when it comes to developing the film, the chemicals needed each are very different there is much more needed in the development of color film. You can get more information either from the Internet, or go to a photo lab, Wal-Mart photo lab, and ask an employee. When it comes to printing in black and white, you can print in a dark room with red lights safely, but with the color you need to be printed with a special machine, because without light safely.
