Pinhole Photography


This was the pinhole assignment. For this assignment we made our own pinhole cameras and I put photo paper in the pinhole camera. The shiny or glossy part had to be facing the pinhole and then put the lid on very tight so no light would go in and covered the pinhole with a cover. Then I took it outside and choose something to take a picture of. I set up the object and the camera so that when I took the picture sun would be hitting the object. Once I was ready I took the cover off and let light go in for 20 seconds and then put the cover back on. I then took the camera in the darkroom, took the photo paper out and put it in the developer, then in the stop bath, then the fixer. Lastly in put it in the bucket of water for 20 minutes then took it out and let it out. To turn in the negative photo to a positive I put the negative on top of another photo paper, both glossy sides of the paper where facing each other and the negative was facing the light. But first used a test strip to see how much light was needed to change from negative to positive.  I put the light on for 5 seconds 4 times. Then I did the same developing process.
