Description:

This class will cover the Zone System throughly: from the basic understanding and use of the light meter; interpretation of the zone system in terms of pre-visualization of images; proper negative exposure and development in order to assure that your negative contains all the vital information necessary to print an expressive print.

Through testing we will determine a personal film speed for each type of film you use and a development time to accompany that specific film.
