Pinhole photograhy

Pinhole Photography

In today's workshop we learnt about pinhole photography and camera obscures. We had a range of pinhole cameras we could use; box pinhole, beer cans, baby formula tubs and the Harman Titan camera. I used the baby formula tubs. I had used beer cans before in previous years and liked the fish eye effect to the photographs, so I thought I'd try out the baby formula tubs as it is essentially a larger beer can, so I'm getting a bigger photograph which means better quality and less of a fish eye effect. I also wanted to test the camera as it was going to expose exactly what was in front of me and no fish eye effect.

I was very pleased with the outcomes that I got today by testing out different pinhole cameras. I will in the next few days try out some more pinhole cameras and hopefully make one myself which I would very much like to do. I also feel like I have learnt a lot in this workshop even though I didn't think I would as I've done pinhole photography a couple of times before. I feel like I appreciate and respect pinhole photography more and I hope I'll use it more in the future as I now I know how creative you can be in making a pinhole camera and how successful your photographs can be. I really hope I can do a pinhole for a very long amount of time I.e.- months at a time and it work out successfully.
