Dodging and Burning

For this assignment you will be using dodging and burning tools to darken
and lighten areas in your image. Dodging and burning allows you to have detail in the shadows and highlights without over or under exposing your image. For this assignment you will turn in 4 images. 2 for dodging, the original print and a dodged print (same negative). 2 for burning, the original print and a burned print (same negative). All prints need to be in focus and have the correct exposure, use a contrast filter if needed. You need to use the easel so there is a white border around the image. Write all information on the back, name, period, exposure time, dodging or burning time. These prints can be any size on the easel. You can use negatives from past assignments or you can take new images, I have film for you. It would be wise to make a test strip! Each print is worth 10 points, 40 points total. Due Thursday April 3rd.
