Final Exam Review

Aparture- is a hole or an opening through which light travels.
Shutter- is a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time.
Exposure- is the total amount of light allowed to fall  on the photograghic medium (photograghic film or image sensor) during the process of taking a photogragh.
F-stop- an optical system that expresses the diameter of the entrance pupil in terms of the focal length of the lens.
Singal lens reflex- is a camera that typicaly uses a semi-automatic moving mirror system that permits the photogragher to see exactly what will be captured by the film or digital imaging system (after a very small delay), as opposed to pre-SLR cameras where the veiw through the veiwfinder could be significantly different from what was captured on film.
Negitive- Film for 35 mm cameras comes in long narrow strips of chemical-coated plastic or cellulose acetate.
Positive- is a film or paper record of a scene that represents the color and luminances (as near as the medium will allow).
Contact sheet- is a photograghic image produced from film: sometimes a film negative; sometimes a film postitive.
Agitation- The air bubbles that usually occur when dry film is immersed in a solution can be removed without harmful effects in the predevelopment water rinse.
Enlarger- is a specialized transparency projector used to produce photograghic prints from film or glass negitives using the gelitain-silver process, or transparencies.
Stop bath- is a chemical bath usually used in processing traditional black-and-white photograghic films, plates and paper used after the material has finished developing.
Fixer- is a chemical used in the final step in the photograghic processing of film or paper.
Safe light- is a light source suitable for use in a photograghic darkroom.
Burning- increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker.
Dodging- decreases the exposure for areas of the print that the photogragher wishes to be lighter.

Abandoned Theme Parks

I would choose the Okpo Land amusement park because after looking at the photos of it, I was stunned and the first word that came to me after I looked threw it is "mysterious".  I bet myself the park is even better if I saw the park with my own eyes.  When I take my photos, I would take photos of the coasters from different positions, and scary looking things in the park.  

Five other unusual places for photograghers to go to:
1. Stonehenge
2. Cemetaries
3. Old houses
4. Underwater
5. Hollywood

It would be fun to document the Stonehenge location because it is a interesting and mind stunning place. What interests me about stonehenge is that I wonder who and how the stones got there and what they are useing it for. The photos I would take there are photos of the entire stonehenge, the inside parts of the structure and the people standing next to the large stones. 
It would take me a plane ticket to get there. My equipment would include a suitcase with cloths in it for staying at a hotel for a couple of days, a labtop and a download device, a ditigal camera with a card to save my photos on, and money. The expences might be with hotel stays, plane ticket, food, and batteries. The laws I might run into at the stonehenge tour  could be hours the tour starts and ends, when the tructure is off or on limits and others.
