Pinhole Camera

Using a beer can, duck tape, can opener, and some card we made a camera. iv never seen or heard of this method before....

to take a picture with a homemade camera with no digital or special soft wear needed is a pretty uncommon thing to come across these days with everything so technology based.

a pinhole camera doesn't need a lens to work it simply needs light to pass through a single small point into the lightproof space (weather that be a can or box) onto the opposite side of the space were the photo paper with be.

you keep the pinhole closed until you have chosen what or were you want your picture, then you need to hold in a steady position preferably against something so it is sturdy. uncover the pinhole for 8- 10 seconds then recover the pinhole.

take the camera with the hole covered to a dark room and go through the processes until you get your picture then once it had been in all the solutions its taken to get blow dried.

we repeated this a number of times to see how good we could get the picture to be. after going through the darkroom processes we put the pictures on photo shop and inverted the photos to create a better picture.

the problems people had doing this was not leaving enough exposure time or leaving to much.

these are a couple of my own, as you can see the first is a lot better to the second and this i due to the fact i didn't use a steady platform for the second picture hence why is it blurry and not that good.
