Ansel Easton Adams~known for the best black and white landscape photographer.
He developed a zone system which need visualization.
The technique is carefully observe and study the particular scene,next, visualize the final print,then determine the corresponding portion of the scene and the tones in the print.
Now, our exercise about the zone system is we need to take 3 sets of pictures which included black,grey and white.The exposure of the first pair of photo is determined by the camera itself while the second pair is by ourselves.
The results should be like this~
For the second exercise, we need to take a scene or landscape which included the 3 zone in it.
After taking the best photo, then we have to sent it to the photo lab to print it out with the size of 5x7.
Moreover, we also need to photoshop the photo into 4 different type, which are RGB, B&W, grey and CMYK.
The purpose of doing this is to determine the slightly difference between these mode of photo editing, and we could choose the best way for our further photo shooting.
The first exercise was quite easy since we only have to choose black,grey and white subjects to shoot,plus differentiate the colour ourselves.
While the second exercise is harder.Because we have to choose a suitable location or scene which includes all 3 zones in the zone system.Well,i took a picture of a small creek in our university just beside the lake. After that,change it into black and white mode.Then, i used Adobe Photoshop to turn the photo into 3 more different mode which are CMYK,grey scale and RGB.
Mr Vinod told us to print the photos in a photo lab which called "Applied Imaging",near 1Utama. Luckily, the place is not too far from where i lived and i can always go to the lab in no time.Therefore,most of my classmate requested me to help them for the printing since I'm the nearest one.And of course they paid me for that.A single piece of 5x7 photo cost me about RM3.50. For me is not too expansive and the quality is not bad at all.So is worth it.
