Medium format
Applies to any film size in-between 35mm and large format (4″×5″ or more) and to the type of camera that uses the format. Due to the higher image resolution offered by the larger film size, the majority of medium-format users are professional photographers who often require fine image detail.

Since you all don’t have a photo assignment next week and most of you have requested to learn how to use a flash, here is your assignment for next week. Complete this take home quiz and bring it to class on Monday, Feb. 4.
You can use any resource you can find online including the Using an Off-Camera Strobe post. Also, use the Canon and Nikon manuals to help you.
Once you have your flash, the question is how to better use it.
Briefly, your decisions are:
• Where am I going to put the light - and why?
• How am I going to get it to stay there?
• How am I going to trigger it?
• What will the quality of the light be: Hard or soft?
• What will the beam spread of the light be - wide, narrow?
• How will I balance the strobe’s intensity with the ambient light?
• How will I balance the strobe’s color with the ambient light?
