Pinhole Camera's - 19/09/17

Pinhole Camera's - 19/09/17







To add to my previous blog on health & safety in the dark room, also in Tuesday's lesson, we also learned on techniques & how to do pinhole photography, & of course how to use pinhole cameras.

when doing this , i learned quite a few technical skills, but i will admit i still need to improve in doing this as i was unable to get many good photos as i struggled with the different lengths of time of exposure.

For those who do not know, a pinhole camera  is a simple camera without a lens but has a tiny aperture. The pinhole aspect, effectively is a light-proof box (preferably a shoe box) with a small hole in one side with a little cover of tape, covering the pinhole. When you are wanting to capture the subject you want to capture, when you lift up the little cover, light from the area, passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which can be known as the camera obscura effect.

depending on how much light, preferably as you can only really do pinhole photography outside, as because of the photographic paper inside the box, if you expose it inside then, you've ruined the photographic paper & having to restart, there is in the area of where you are gonna capture, you will have to do different lengths of expose. dark areas preferably being longer exposure & areas with more light less exposure.

unit 6 - 3D Digital - final images

This is my experimental attempt at creating a 3D digital image for my 3D projects. This task is the second part of my 3D project; again which co-insides with all the research in which we had done before for/along side our research for our Analogue 3D project. For my research this part, i researched at different types of Digital 3D Photography, this was so i could use as inspiration or try to copy/re-do in some sort of fashion. You can see examples of the ones i researched below. As you can see to my left, i decided to attempt in making a portrait in which my mate Alex took of me for his High Key photoshoot, as we was both doing our high key photoshoots back to back. I used this photo as i like the photo, and a very prominant photo of me, the concept behind making the photo 3D was to expand the view of portraiture itself, and to expand the view of reality; in other words, what i mean is, is that theres more to portraiture, and photography in general than meets the eye. For ...

Pinhole Photographer Research & photo analysis

Photography Homework Research one photographer & analyse one of their photos The photographer I have chosen to research & work analyse is Abelardo Morell. The reason why I have chosen to research him & analyse his work is because, as he is known for his camera obscura work, I find his photos very outstanding from others & very inspiring from others in which I have previously seen of the camera obscura calibre. Biography Abelardo Morell is a photographer who is well known for his mastery of the Camera Obscura technique/subject. Morell was born in Havana, Cuba in 1948 & immigrated with his family to New York in 1962. From there he earned a multiple of degrees, in effort of course, to improve his skills & progress in his desired field.
