Slide presentations and discussions will be offered to help students recognize the multitude of possibilities the use of color provides for making exciting photographs.

Supplies List:Photographic material/supplies: You are expected to have a 35mm camera that permits manual adjustment of shutter speeds and apertures. You will also be required to purchase your own b/w film and paper for the class.

You will shoot a minimum of 15 and likely up to 25 rolls of 24 or 36 exposure film. Unless you are set on a particular film I would suggest a 400 ASA or 125 ASA film to start (for black and white film, use one of the following: Kodak Tri-X or Ilford HP5, HP4). I will tell you when to use 400 ASA or 125 ASA film. The cost of the film varies depending on the type. You will typically spend 3 to 6 euro for each roll of film.
Photographic paper also varies in cost. The cost for a box of 50 sheets is 44 euros 7x9 1/2 in size.
Purchase 25 rolls black and white film (Kodak Tri-X or Ilford HP5, HP4, 125 ASA, 400 ASA). You can purchase your rolls of film in bulk at the beginning of the semester or as you have each assignment.

Each student will receive a binder, there is no charge for the binders.Purchase a large folder or envelope for turning in photo projects. The folder can be purchase at a stationery store for under 4 euros.
Purchase a journal book. A journal book of your choose can range anywhere from 2,50 to 12 euros.
Purchase a towel (used for the darkroom and developing film). A towel can be purchased at the supermarket for less than 5 euros.
