Large Format & the Digital Negative
Where: Photographers' Formulary Workshops in Montana
When: Sunday June 10 to Friday, June 15
This workshop will combine large-format photography with digital technology. The first two days will be spent learning to use a large-format camera. This will include how to setup, focus, calculate depth of field, calculate bellows extension for close-ups, reciprocity, and more. Day 3 will be devoted to developing large-format film negatives in the darkroom. Techniques will be taught that will enable you to develop negatives in a kitchen or bathroom sink using three chemicals and minimal equipment. During days 4 and 5 you will learn how to digitally enlarge the negatives you made the first three days of the workshop.
Participants will be required to bring a large format camera, tripod, exposure meter, and a laptop computer with Photoshop, CS3 or later.
