This course may be repeated up to a total of three credit hours. To give the students practical experience preparing photographs for publication. To refine the photographic skills acquired by the students in the introductory course. Film, paper and chemicals are supplied by the College for the preparation of photographs assigned by the instructor. Contact sheets and negatives from assignments remain on file in the darkroom.
Students supply their own paper for any prints made for personal use.
Prints are to be spotted and finished, ready for publication, with appropriate captions. There is a loose-leaf binder in the photo office for each student to file his or her contact sheets and negatives. Photojournalism students are reporters as well as photographers and are expected to provide appropriate captions. Recognizable persons should be identified, and pertinent information which cannot be gleaned from the picture itself should be provided.
