MY OWN PINHOLE IMAGES
Overall I am very pleased with the outcome of my final images.
Before creating these ones I made a couple others that didn't turn out how I had planned. However after several attempts I finally got the outcome I was looking for. Although my pinhole camera was made correctly and didn't look like it had any problems I only got one decent image out of it before having to use a friends camera. As much as I didn't want to do this as I wanted to be persistent in this task I simply had no choice as I kept trying therefore used a lot of photographic paper and time. However, this wasn't a waste of time as it made me really think about the pinhole camera I had made and how precise you had to be with it. For example if a very small thing hasn't been made correctly it effects the whole image. An example of this is the size of the pinhole. If the pinhole is to large, too much light will get into the camera and therefore will become over exposed, resulting in a black image. Although this was a common problem with many of pinhole's made in my class this was not the problem of mine even though the images turned out washy, unclear and blotchy. I moved on from this matter and thought more about the exposure time and exposed it from a range of times (5 seconds- 25 seconds) and yet the images did not turn out desired. This was getting incredibly fustrating for me as I had all these ideas for some good images and yet I couldn't take them because of my faulty camera.
I then used my friends pinhole camera that was similar to mine only the pinhole was not made out of foil, instead, the pinhole was made straight through the actual container as it was made out of a metal like material, fairly similar to the foil.
