Blended learning task No.13 - Medium Format Cameras





Medium Format


Using the information already covered in the Medium camera session use your notes to produce further research into this type of camera.  Use the templates that have been attached in the recent email to together your work (The 3 column word file). Work to produce 2 x A3 pages in the usual format… 1 x page with a selection of images and your initial thoughts based on what you know of view cameras, pre-conceptions and prior knowledge of the cameras.

Photographers that have used these cameras include Richard Avedon, David Bailey and Brian Duffy (Fashion and portraits).

The 2nd page should feature a Main image – (Camera, someone with a camera or perhaps a cut-away diagram or illustration) with as much information you can gather through your research including some details regarding the images you collect, that illustrate the cameras characteristics and properties.

Look for details of the different size formats, the type and size of film that you use, how many shots per roll.

Use the prompts here to generate your written content when researching.

Remember to use the Dave Thompson’s A3 template with the columns and prompts already formatted (Document 310) ask him to email it to you.

Reading list and links______________________________________________________________

When researching look at Ken Rockwell’s website and look for the following cameras – RB6x7, Bronica SQA, Mamiya C330 f,  Mamiya TL 645 and Rolleiflex.






If this has been set as your Blended learning – you have 2 weeks to complete it.
Use your independent sessions - for English, Blended learning and PD to generate this work. You're expected to spend a minimum of 3 hours to collate the material and write up the work.
