2. Using Filters & Exposures
• Filters give color to photographs
• Filters help give different effects, remove or
reduce reflections, darken a blue sky, etc.
• When using exposure visualize how you want
the final image to look.
4. Developing A Negative
• Some supplies need to develop are a timer, a
funnel, developing reel, developing
tanks, bottle cap opener, scissors, storage
papers, containers, and stirring rod.
• Chemicals needed are developer, stop
bath, fix, and water.
• Wear rubber gloves and tongs when using
chemicals because it SMELLS REALLY REALLY
BAD!
