A photo that is 1:10 through 1:1 to the size of the subject in real life. Essentially, a photograph that makes something appear larger than it does in real life. (http://www.digital-photography-school.com/macro-photography-for-beginners-part-1)
What is "Macro"?

Lighting: For lighting, try a soft natural light, like outdoor low sunlight. Avoid harsh artificial lights. If necessary, put rice paper over the subject to cast a glow. Don't use flash. Use an exposure that allows more light in, since the camera will be fairly close to the subject. (http://www.digital-photography-school.com/macro-photography-for-beiginners-part-2)

framing: this is when an edge is created around the sides of a subject. This can be naturally occurring (a path) or artificially created (a window ledge).

focus: You need to focus on the subject. The background should be blurred and undistracting. (http://www.digital-photography-school.com/macro-photography-for-beiginners-part-2)
What do you need to do when shooting macro? (Focus)

Depth of field: Choose a shallow depth of field so that the background is fuzzy, keeping attention on the subject. (http://www.digital-photography-school.com/macro-photography-for-beiginners-part-2)

Developing: developer 14 minutes stop bath 1 minute fixer 5 minutes water 5minutes Printing: developer 2 minutes stop bath 30 seconds fixer 5 minutes water 5 minutes
What is the order of developing chemicals, and for how long do you use them for printing and developing?
200
1. Under Camera Calibration, pick the best camera profile that you find. 2. HSL/Greyscale, play with the sliders to get the best color. 3. Under basic, play with the exposure slider, including the blacks slider and the brightness slider. 4./5./6. Under Tone Curve, go to Point, and choose a graph. Under custom, use the white balance tool (dropper) to select a 50% grey part of the photo. 7. Play with sharpening and lens corrections, like vignettes.
What settings do you adjust at each point of the workflow?

This is when a photo has a true black and a true white, and all the shades in between.
What is a full range of value?
300
The light placed 30-60 degrees from the camera, to the left of the subject. It casts the main light on the subject. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_light)
What is a key light?

Composition: For composition, keep the subject the main focus of the photo. (http://www.digital-photography-school.com/macro-photography-for-beiginners-part-2)
What do you need to do when shooting macro? (Composition)
300
Getting the timing and amount of chemicals right.
What is the hardest part of developing?
300
Light hits the sensor in the camera, which gets saved into an array. The camera determines which color each part of the array is, and it downloads this onto the computer.
How does your camera's digital sensor capture light?
300
Developer lets the image be visible on the paper
What does developer do?

It is placed perpendicular to the key light (30-60 degrees to the right of the camera). It reduces contrast. It is a softer light. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light)
What is a fill light?

You can look for naturally occuring frames, like a path or a line of trees framing a walkway. Also, a break in bushes or clouds could be considered a frame. You could also use an intentional frame, like a photo frame, window, or ledge.
What is one way you can make interesting pictures from ordinary things?

For me, the hardest part is getting the right exposure time.
What is the hardest part of printing?
400
It is when your camera saves the photo as unproccessed as possible. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_image_format)
What is camera raw?

The stop bath stops the image from developing any more.
What does stop bath do?
500
The light that is in the back of the subject, creating a glow. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_light)
What is a back light?
500
photographer's eye: this is the viewpoint of the photo. If a photo is from a worm-eye view, it is from underneath the subject. If it is from a bird's eye view, it is from above the subject. If it is at eye level, the camera is even with the subject. framing: this is when an edge is created around the sides of a subject. This can be naturally occurring (a path) or artificially created (a window ledge).
Define: photographer's eye framing

1. I have reviewed the times for the different chemicals and amounts. 2. I have tried different exposure times for different test strips to get a better photo.
1. What have you done that has helped you develop successfully? 2. What have you done that has helped you print successfully?
500
It saves the photo as unprocessed as possible, meaning you can manipulate the image to look very different, as opposed to if you shot it normally, the camera would make decisions about the photo (such as specific colors) when it doesn't know what the photo looks like.
Why use camera raw?
500
It stabilizes the image, meaning that light won't change it anymore.
