This week we have been working on pinhole in the dark room. My home made Pinhole camera had to be adjusted after the first couple of attempts as the pin hole was too large and all of my images where coming out black! I have attached some of my pinhole images to show what happened and why! In the end I was happy with a couple of them but not all :(
One the day of the pinhole it was really bright morning therefore I was having to reduce the exposure time from 25 seconds to around 10-15 seconds to try and get a better pinhole.
In the 1st pinhole I have taken a picture of my shoes I took them off and placed them on the floor to try and get the reflection of the same old boot! As you can see from some of the other pinhole I have taken they have not turned out great.... Too much exposure and the fact that my pin hole was too big letting in too much light. The last image is of the hand rails at the side of the college building again the object was to get the reflection in the image with the double rails. This has been good practise even thou i wasn't happy with how many of the turned out!
I have just found some more recent pinhole images that have been showed at the London festival of photography this summer by various artists. It good to see what other photographers are taking photograms off and where/ what angle etc..
below are some of the pinholes they have been displaying this summer.
