In class we were were asked to work in pairs to make notes about this image using the following questions:
In the picture there is a man walking.
In the background of the shot you can see washing machines which suggests that the man is in a laundrette. The image is circular because of the lens used to take the photograph. The reason that there a marks on the surface of the print is because the lens might be scratched. The sides are darker is because the lens might be dirty. The man is partly transparent because the shutter speed is to fast. The photographer made this picture to make people think harder about how the picture was made. If I could ask the photographer a question about the photograph it would be Why did you choose the specific techniques. I would name this photo Launderette. |
To make the pinhole camera you will need
A box with four sides, a bottom and a lid A sheet of black sugar paper or a roll of tinfoil Sellotape Scissors A needle or drawing pin A sheet of tracing paper or piece of greaseproof paper Here are some pictures that were made using pinhole cameras |
In class we took our first photos with our pin hole camera.
First we collected our tins which had been painted black on the inside so the light wouldn't bounce of the sides. We then made the lens and shutter. We went outside and opened the shutter for 1 to 3 minutes. Here are the results. Some of the shots were over exposed or under exposed.

Here are the pictures the we made using our own pinhole cameras. Some of the pictures are very clear but some moved during the exposure. The first picture worked very well. The picture is very detailed
Here is my photo from my second attempt at using a pinhole camera. You can make out the school building. I am proud of my picture, the picture shows some detail.
