5. The shutter speeds are 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 125, 250, 500, 1000, and 2000. 
6. You change the aperture using the aperture ring. 
7. The aperture settings are 22, 16, 11, and 4. 
8. You focus the camera using the focusing ring. 
9. My camera does not have a zoom lens.
10. To tell if your camera has enough light, you use the meter, the shutter speed dial or the aperture ring.

Photograms

Making a photogram is very easy to do. To start off, you must make samples of the kind of photograms you are going to create. In this case, I made a landscape photogram, a symmetrical photogram, and an abstract photogram. The most important factor in making photograms is to make sure you use items that will create white, grey, and black. Overlapping is also a great way to get the best results possible. In the dark room, you take in the pictures you have created with all the supplies and recreate that image on the photo sensitive paper. Before you do anything further, you need to work with the enlarger. Start off by turning on the regular light and make sure you adjust the enlarger to get a clean crisp edge and set it to F8 to get the perfect amount of light. Then, turn the light off and place your image underneath the enlarger. You are first creating a test strip with light intervals of 2. You use a piece of cardboard and slide it over to the end of the strip giving each section different amount of light. This will determine the amount of time needed to get the perfect image on the big paper. Once you determined a time, you set the enlarger for that amount of time and shine the light on the entire image. Then it goes through the chemicals (the developer, the stop bath, the fixer, and the fixer remover.) If you see all three colors white, grey, and black, then you know that your image came out the way it was supposed to!

Photogram Powerpoint Presentation 

  

To make a powerpoint, there are things to keep in mind. Always think about your audience, you want to make sure that the slides are not filled with text and if there is text make sure it is big enough for the people in the back to see it. Pictures a very important when it comes to powerpoint presentations. When putting pictures on the powerpoint, make sure that there is an equal amount of negative space so that it looks professional and balanced. Having too much text on a powerpoint can make it look boring and will lose interest of the audience. To use powerpoint, you go to key point and add a slide depending on what you are writing about, like title pages, pictures, and bullet points. It is important to make your slides look neat and professional especially when presenting it to an audience. 

Positive Image

Positive Image 

To create a positive image from a negative, the first step is to make sure the light is set up properly. You must take your negative image into the darkroom with you. You set the light to the brightest light to start and from there bring the light down to F8 and make sure the frame of the light has clear cut lines. The first step you need to take in creating a positive image is to first create a test strip. You place a light sensitive paper test strip with the shiny side facing up in the rectangular area under the light, making sure the light is turned off. Then you take your negative image and place is facing down on top of the test strip. Then you take a piece of cardboard and place it section by section over the image. You set the timer on the light to 2 seconds and move the cardboard on intervals of 2. This helps to determine the time needed to get the best possible positive image. Once you determine the time needed you take a big sheet of paper and create a big image of the time that you calculated it would take. After exposing the image to the light, the next process is to put the image through the chemicals. You put the image through the developer for 1 min, the stop bath for 30 seconds, the fixer for 3 min, and the fixer removes for another 3 min. Your positive image will then develop.
