Long Exposure: A Century of Pictorialism March 2 - June 27, 2021 About the Exhibition Pictorialism, an international photographic movement that emerged late in the nineteenth century in Europe and soon spread to the United States, argued for photography’s status as a fine art through the adoption of techniques and subjects associated with painting. After its invention around 1830, photography was generally believed to objectively depict the natural world. In the early 1840s, however, Scottish photographers David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson began making portraits that period viewers compared to the style of Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. By 1870, Henry Peach Robinson, Julia Margaret Cameron, and other British photographers sought to distinguish the medium from science. To that end, they modeled their images after Impressionist paintings, used special filters, and manipulated negatives to achieve a painterly effect. While the movement waned in the 1910s, this exhibition demonstrates Pictorialism’s lasting influence on amateurs, art photographers, Hollywood portraitists, and photographers of the American West. Long Exposure traces Pictorialism’s nineteenth-century beginnings to the present day, when contemporary artists and photographers continue to manipulate photographic images to create new art. https://www.ou.edu/fjjma/exhibitions1/LongExposure

Assignment Tulsa March 5 - July 4, 2021 About the Exhibition Gilcrease Museum, in partnership with the Photographers of Tulsa Group (PHOTOG), is pleased to present Assignment Tulsa. This exhibition, through the art of photography, showcases the many things that make Tulsa such a special place to live. Assignment Tulsa is also visual evidence of the skills and creativity of the PHOTOG members who participated. Last summer, beginning in July, and running through November, these photographers participated in a contest that became Assignment Tulsa. While unimaginable at the time the contest was conceived, all of the photographs would be taken during a global pandemic. Evidence of the pandemic and the social justice protests of the summer of 2020 is seen in several of the photographs. The overarching subject for Assignment Tulsa is Tulsa, with each of the five months having a specific theme: July – Tulsa Buildings August – Tulsa Icons September – Tulsa Parks October – Tulsa People November – Photographs could be of any subject so long as they presented our city in some form or fashion A total of 156 photographs were entered during the five months of the contest. The result is Assignment Tulsa, presenting the 49 winning photographs taken by 26 different PHOTOG photographers. https://gilcrease.org/exhibitions/assignment-tulsa/

Today's Question In Tuesday's answer you cite a 50% gray value for the exposure metering target. I thought the calibration was for 18% gray. When did that change?

Tim's Quick Answer: While it may sound a little confusing at first, the "50% gray" and "18% gray" here actually refer to the same shade of "middle gray".

More Detail: In a recent edition of the Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter about metering and exposure compensation, I made reference to the fact that a camera's exposure meter is trying to set an exposure so that the area you metered off of will appear with a brightness equivalent to 50% gray in the photo. Many photographers are of course familiar with the concept of using an "18% gray card" as the basis of exposure metering. So it is reasonable to be confused by these two different percentages. The two shades of gray are in fact the exact same shade of middle gray, just being described in a different way. Middle gray, or 50% gray, is perhaps the easiest concept to understand here. This is a shade of gray that is halfway between white and black. In Photoshop, for example, this is the shade of gray that would have a brightness value of 50%, or for an RGB image in the 8-bit per channel mode that would mean a value of 128 for red, 128 for green, and 128 for blue. A standard "18% gray" gray card is also intended to be middle gray, but with a different way of describing the shade of gray. Specifically, an 18% gray card reflects 18% of the light striking the surface of the card. To slightly complicate things further, many cameras have their exposure meters calibrated for 12% reflectance rather than 18% reflectance, which means the exposure for an 18% gray card won't necessarily be an accurate exposure. However, if you tilt the 18% gray card away from the camera at a 45-degree angle while taking a meter reading, you'll have about 12% reflectance and therefore an accurate metering. The result will be that the gray card would appear middle gray in the final image. Needless to say, even simple concepts can get a little bit confusing when they are described in different ways, without it being clear that there is a difference.
