Every film has an ISO which is the amount of time it takes to react to the light in order to capture an image. The ISO is also known as the speed rating. Using 400 ISO which i used on my film camera is most suitable for inside places that have darker/poorer lighting and portraits as sometimes people move which could cause blur.
Taking a photograph in good lighted areas such as in natural daylight and outside i would use the ISO 100. Using a tripod would also help massively with camera shake and capturing any movement pictures as the camera would have a long exposure.
The push processing technique is using a different ISO speed which the camera is originally not used for. Originally in my film camera I had ISO 400 which the photographs were coming out rather underexposed. By pushing the ISO to 800 I also pushed the stop by two, this enables my photographs to be more exposed. Pushing film is when you develop the film for longer to balance out any film that may be under exposed, any studio photographs that were taken the film had been pushed resulting in none of the images being too under exposed. Pushing film also helps with increasing film grain and lowering the resolution.
Poor lighting conditions- Any interior photography under normal indoor lighting
Floodlit- Photography where the subjects are brightly lit against a dark background- the studio photographs i have taken were floodlit
Action- Daylight photography when capturing movement.
We then went to the studio and did different lighting set ups. Using different objects set up in the light, my film camera after being pushed should’ve captured the objects with the correct exposure. I had one main successful image from the shoot which I used as one of my final images.
The images taken above were taken using 400 ISO on a film camera which was then pushed to 800. I pushed the film by altering the ISO dial to 800, almost tricking the camera as if i’m using an 800 IS0 film. The aperture was 2.8 allowing the photograph to not be underexposed due to the lighting within the studio and the shutter speed was a 60th of a second.
As i used a 400 ISO on a film camera and wanted to push it to 800 i exposed the film for 9 minutes so that the film had no risk at all of being underexposed.
