Week 1 - Pinhole cameras

Justin Quinnel was introduced to the class in our first week. He helped us to create our pinhole cameras and gave us a demonstration on how to use them. Justin’s variety of experimentation with pinhole cameras showed an inspiration into the variation of ways to capture an image without a lens.

Once we had set up our pinhole cameras they were ready to be used. He helped us to get an idea of the different kinds of pictures we could take and also how long to expose them for in certain types of light. We then created our own image to see how well we were able to figure out the length of exposure time needed.

The image has been underexposed. To produce this image again I would have to expose the paper for a bit longer to get a better quality of the image.

With this image I was trying to create a sense of the camera being the food she was eating, to make the audience feel like they were apart of the image just as she was. If I was to do it again I would bring the camera up a bit more because then you would feel more in the picture.
