A notebook wasn't that hard to find, as she had no less than three in her bag at all times - but the pencil she probably should've kept one in a better place that should would remember. Eventually, though, she found it nudged inside one of the notebooks she hadn't pulled out and sighed. OKAY. All ready. Game face on.
Just in time for class to start.
But at the professor's question, Sophie... just stared a bit. What? Photo... processes? Developing? Two types? What did she even mean?
This Ravenclaw didn't understand at all. She had no clue. She wiped the clueless expression off her face, though, and instead looked entirely too busy to answer by opening her notebook and writing headings at the top of her notes. Totally productive and all.
...Oh. Film and digital. Soph wrote those down just as Hadley said it, but she... didn't really GET it. There were all these technological words that didn't make sense, really, and Soph just wrote as many down as she could and hoped to make sense of them later. And as for the NEXT question... Soph chose to stay silent once more because she still was kind of lost. Nope. Mouth shut.
Too bad Mo wasn't there to feed her answers. This was - in Fina's mind - a rather vague question. Like even even if you had no experience with photography, surely one should know at least one thing that can be controlled, yes? Or not, judging from Sophie's silence. Perhaps she'd gone into too much detail too fast, but she was still keeping things generic (so she thought). Quote:

Fina noted, writing that on the board under a heading 'things that can be controlled by photographers' Quote:

On to the next question. Adi had an answer. Hand in the air for the second time, he volunteered, "The angle of the camera, Professor. Some people alternate it so that it's either horizontal or vertical.'' "Ah yes, very useful if you have a very tall person next to a short person, for instance. Just take the photo as a vertical shot." Or risk cutting of heads or feet, but then people get all offended. Quote:

Once he'd written everything down that he could remember, Toby dropped his pencil on top of his notebook and flexed his fingeres while he thought. Uhhhhhhhhhhh...
Up went his hand.
"Some photographers control lighting. Like they have these super bright lights that they use to get a good picture, and they're used in movie making and stuff too." Y'know, like the 'lights, camera, and action' thing. "But that's not always something you can control, though you can turn the flash on and off with some cameras." Quote:

When question two came around, Jasmine was a little faster and raised her hand immediately. "Professor, you can control the lighting when you take a photograph. You can use a flash, position yourself differently related to the sun's position or turn on lights when you're setting up our picture." "Lighting yes. Can, as you said, sometimes be controlled, other times, not so much." With more modern technology, yes it could. Quote:
Originally Posted by ArianaBlack Zander didn't really feel the need to write most of this stuff down.

But of course, out of respect or whatnot, the Gryffindor scribbled down some of the facts anyways.
As for the second question, he listened to the answers that people around him gave. Nodding vigorously at that Toberson guy's answer in particular. Lighting, that was a good point. Uh, raising his own hand into the air, he thought for a moment, before saying "Well, you can control the angle of the picture you're taking? Like uh, taking it from above or below?" "Another way to control the angle, besides horizontal or vertical pictures is to control the angle that you're shooting from," yes, she would give that one credit. Good. Quote:
Originally Posted by Squishy Class was starting right as Lux took out her notebook. Quickly she wrote down everything Professor Hadley was telling them. Muggle photography, now that was interesting. Seemed like they would be developing pictures today from the sound of it. Cool.
Raising her hand, she said, "you can control how close up or far away the images are by using the zoom." Fina nodded when Lux too mentioned the zoom, but said no more as it already listed on the board.

When Professor…..Nairne? Asked them to describe what you could control in photography she immediately thought about her mother. Her lip trembled as if she was going to say something, her hand dampened slightly and she clenched it into a fist. Her nails however sharp they were didn’t’ quell it. But she pushed everything back for a moment and blinked.
Raising her unclenched hand she waited to be called on. “Professor, there are a few very key things you can control that will in turn make a photograph work in the way you want it to or not.” She broadly stated, “my mother always taught me that one of the key parts to a proper digital or manual photograph is the lighting which can be controlled through the aperture of the camera which can be found in the settings and usually there is a button or a dial to change it on the top of the camera near the shutter release.” She explained simply.
"Getting technical now," Fina smiled appreciatively at the fourth year for her use of technical terminology. "But yes, in some cameras, lighting is controlled through the aperture of the camera, but unfortunately not all cameras have such a feature, so other modifications might need to be made to control the lighting."

In the meanwhile, a voice from within cried out as loud as it could. Ian shouted from within this blockhead. Perspective you bloomin' blockhead. Say perspective.
Pinocchio heard the voice from within. Ooh, it must be his conscience and the blue fairy said he should listen to his conscience. Jiminy Cricket says those picture guys can control perspective. Pinocchio had noooooo idea what that meant....but he wanted to please the blue fairy since she'd made him a real boy. He did miss Papa Gepetto though. "Perspective , or angle of where the photographer is shooting from, yes, good." Already mentioned, but in a different way. Quote:

Angel loved taking photos and stuff though she didn't want to do it professionally or anything like that. "Yes , but depending on the camera, you might not want to stand too far away or you won't be able to see anything." Unless of course that was the artistic goal of the shot, but that was another story.

Zeke found himself just SITTING and LISTENING as the discussions continued.
All of what he'd wanted to say had been said, and he wasn't about to waste time repeating words. Kudos everyone, kudos.
But for the sake of participating, even to a limited extent, Zeke raised his hand and provided AN answer, even if it wasn't what he'd originally wanted to say.
"You can take pictures vertically and horizontally and really any way that you like." FREEEEEEDDDOOOM! Oh Zeke HAD shown up and for a moment, Fina wondered if he would contribute, since he claimed he knew all this stuff surely he would be able to provide something worthy to the discussion, yes?
Or ... no, not really. It was similar to what had been said.
"Yes, you can take pictures any which way. Upside down, if you wish, even." Quote:

Raising her hand into the air she replied softly. "You can control the color of the photo. Most muggle cameras allow you to take photos in color or black and white."
Hady knew this because she enjoyed taking photos back home and here now as well. Both muggle and wizarding photos were special to her and she had been taking a lot of them lately to send back home. "Sometimes, yes, the color can be controlled, but the advantage to digital photography is that, even though i said the processing was boring, you can more easily alter the photographs taken. So if you decide you want to change the color to black and white, you can do so." Photo editing. Which was a totally different topic and something they were not working on today. Quote:

The first question came on fast, and Hadley moved on before AJ had a chance to answer she made notes though. Digital and film processing. Got it. Her pencil, that she actually remembered to bring today, was scribbling back and forth taking notes on everything.
What can the photographer control? Lighting, and angles were already said. What else? What else? Her hand shot into the air. "After they take a picture they can edit pimples out and stuff." It was just like magic for a muggle. "With digital photography, yes, editing can be made. Not so much with film pictures though." Unless you scanned in the photo to a computer but that was again, another topic. Quote:

So they were talking about cameras? Dorothy had a camera at home, uh huh. In Kansas. She knew alll about them. She raised her hand in the air and waved it around. "Cameras have an aperture that changes size and a shutter that changes speed so the photographer can decide how much light to let it. Aunty Em says that's because the film in there is light sensitive, so the photo is just recording light. When you let in more light it gets darker, and less light makes it lighter." Dorothy grinned around at the other students. Yep, she knew her stuff. This almost-Kansas place she had found made much more sense than everywhere else she had been. "Yes, film is light sensitive. Which is also why if you expose the film to light too soon in the developing process, then your pictures won't come out. But with the inventions of many products, we fortunately don't need to work in a completely darkroom as once was necessary." Quote:

......or maybe it was a Hogwarts' thing. Gabe was still learning about this school...
....AND he'd been doing so good with lessons lately...that he would BREATHE through the stress to attempt answers. He'd done so with the first question....Piece of cake. All Gabe had to do was....remember to BREATHE and speak. ".....You can...uh, adjust the....erm, focus of the lens......because some people think the 'blurred' look is artistic." His voice had started strong...but then dropped in tone. She was really tall. O.O
Nevermind him. Gabe was just going to do his notes. More side!eyes for you, Adi. "Ah yes, the focus of the lens can be adjusted." She added that to the list. "Good. And I like how you mentioned the artistic relevance of some blur to photos." Another advantage to digital, the ability to easily blur some parts of the photo, but sharpen others.

He had attacked her during the Care of Magical Creatures lesson, why would she …greet him? Unless there was something behind it?
Getting a bit suspicious, Kevin followed the RavenDor with his head and that was when he saw something else suspicious. ………WHY was Cutty using his hands like a frame? Was it directed towards him or…? Forgetting about Eden, Kevin looked at the Slytherin as if to silently say ‘what on earth are you doing?’ and then turned around when class begun officially.
So she was not crazy. YEAH WELL, WE’LL SEE ABOUT THAT! He was just WAITING for her to act out of the ordinary but when asked questions like a normal Professor would he was stunned and glad at the same time. This was why he had missed the first question and after realising this he shook his head and paid attention to the next.
What types of things can photographers control with picture taking? …………..What? Yeah, so , he hadn’t really paid attention in Charms class either when they discussed wizarding pictures. But he was going to try. “A camera” Ravenclaw worthy answer, Hirase. A camera. Well that was ... a very simple answer and way to a photographer could control the photographs being taken. Technically speaking, "yes, the camera used does have some impact on the pictures." "So as you can see there's quite a bit that can be controlled by the photographer. And the advantage to digital is that if you forget something, you can most likely adjust it later before processing the photographs due to the freedom of being able to easily manipulate digital copies." Assuming of course you had that sort of talent and skill.
"But film processing is our focus here. Which you can get the film from a disposable camera such as this one," she held up the Kodak on her desk. "Or a roll such as this," she held up a cylindrical black roll. "When you take a photograph with film, the subject you're filming gets transposed onto the photographic film. The negative image on the film is traditionally used to transfer or create a positive image onto a paper base, known as a print. It uses chemicals- a gelatin-silver process - to treat film and paper to produce that negative or positive image. It transforms the latent or negative image, into a visible image, also making it insensitive to light."
"Just for quick review of terminology ... monochromatic means what?" ooc: we're going to do just a few terms (3-5)... so brief RP posts are acceptable for this point, and obviously so are repeat answers.
