In this project, I understand that photography is not only an expensive-equipment-only skill. It can be done by simple boxes. It comes from real life, and beautify the real life. It can be done by very cheap devices, as long as we process it. I think I would remember the way of building pinhole camera. And the idea of art of recycling, which has inspired me to try out new stuff instead of sticking on a conservative point. The camera, the darkroom and the cool pictures, they all come from normal daily materials. They are available all the time. But I never thought of transforming them into artworks.Also, the whole procedure isn’t as complicated as I thought. This whole subject isn’t as hard as I thought. Now I feel more confident to try new things freely.

We successfully built a light tight camera, but it didn’t take nice pictured. The exposure time was totally unpredictable. But I liked the photo taken from it. In the future, I want to try different materials to build a pinhole camera. Also I want to practice ghosting and vignetting. Also, I want to play with light and shadow more. I think it is super cool to from a picture just by black and white.

During the photograph class, we made our own pinhole camera. Before that, I though is impossible  I have that ability to make my own camera. And also I didn’t have any experiment in darkroom. Actually I learned a lot from it. I knew that what different kinds of picture styles can pinhole camera took.  And I learned the limitation of the pinhole camera. It has to be light tight. It also be influenced by different climate. What’s more, I also absorbed the knowledge about the darkroom such as the procedure to acquire a clearly picture from a pinhole camera and the impact of each steps. It is really impressive.

Me and my partner Tony y took about 15 pictures. Some or the pictures we took very well. But rest of them are not. After each pictures we would collect the good points and something we can change. You will see that in our binder. The main reason we failed to take a picture is we didn’t control the tie very well. As I mentioned before. Different weather would influence the picture in the pinhole camera.  The time we used in the sunny day is shorted than the time we use in the hazy day. If we have abundant time, we like to take a fashion picture in ghosting. It looks cool, but is hard to reach. That is all I want to say.

I learn a lot from this project. Before I make my own successful pinhole camera, I cannot believe that I can make a camera takes the truly picture. And through the pinhole camera making and using I know things need to pay attention when we making the camera, how does pinhole camera works, how to let the picture present on the photography paper…… And there are successes and fairness during that time. The successes is that our camera is really light tight. There is no light comes in at the first time we making it. The failures is that our camera’s pinhole is so small that it needs a long time to take a picture, and  the time is too hard to control . So we borrow Mrs. Scarff’s camera, and didn’t take a good negative picture by our camera. But if I have enough time, I want through the test to know the time of our camera and take a good negative picture by it.

However, the experience of the dark room is so interesting and full of knowledge. There was only two weak red light in the dark room, we usually crash each other by incaution. Besides that I also learn the three step to wash the picture. And when I pick the negative picture out of the water after its appear on the photography paper I fell full of achievability.

I know how to make a pinhole camera, and how to use pinhole camera to take photos. Our pinhole camera was light-tight at first, and me and Alice are the first one to test our camera and out camera is succeed.  But when we made a pinhole in the camera, we made it so small, that the light is hard to get in. That made out expose time was longer than others, and our photos is not sharp and clear.

At last, I borrow Mrs.Scarff’s camera, then it succeed. But there was no time for me to make a positive photo. If I have time, then I will try to make a positive photo with photography paper, not a from photoshop.

  1. The photo I will talk about is the picture I took Wednesday. Location is front of our school. The background is our academic building and and the pumpkin form Hallowmas. At that time, we main used the ghosting to take it. Firstly, I opened the shade and let the light came in the camera. Tony Y was sitting at right side of the pumpkins. He was doing the meditation. Because the Wednesday was a hazy day. Thus we opened the shade for 50 seconds. Then I closed the shade. Tony Y changed his position immediately to other side of the pumpkins. And he was peering the pumpkins. And I kept it for other 50 seconds. We done our job.
  2. 3.

 

There is a truck in the picture, and maybe it was moving. The interesting place is when I see that, it’s really looks like this picture has really long history.

There are a lot of scarecrows in this picture. But actually there is only one scarecrow in it. This picture is using the ghosting. That is the reason it looks like there are a lot of scarecrows.

This picture was taking at a crossing. There is a building and some trees in this picture. But as we can see, the image didn’t full all the photograph paper.The reason is the author was using the vignetting.

This one is really similar than picture 3. They both using the vignetting. Thus there is some black around the picture. It looks fashion.

The road is moving far away. Because of the visual factors. It seems like the road became thiner and thiner. We can’t check the end of this road. It leave us abundant imagination.

4. The camera obscure is a kind of machine. It’s the ancestor of the camera. It took the light from outside and showed the image on a screen inside a camera obscure. The artistes  always used the camera obscure to draw. The construction of the camera obscure is very easy. It’s briefly made by a hole and a light tight stuff.

And the pinhole camera actually really similar than camera obscure. And it is very easy for us to make our own pinhole camera. How dose the pinhole camera work? When you open the shade, the light came inside the box, and started to show the image on the photograph paper which at the oppose side of the hole. After using the pinhole camera, then take off the photograph paper, put it into the special chemical for 3 mins. And you would see you image.

1) The picture I want to take is about a dancer. I will use the technic of ghosting. There will be 2 outlines of the same person. One is happily dancing, the other is curling up on the ground. And the shadow who is dancing is more solid than the shadow who is curling up, which means every happy person has a sad soul.

2)

  1.  It is about a glass bottle. Pinhole camera creates images that have low point of view and look bigger. So this glass bottle looks bigger than the real one and it has a low point of view.
  2.  It is a shadow in the field. It is interesting because you can’t really see the person’s face. And it looks so creepy because it’s like a ghosting.
  3. It is a tree. It is interesting because it uses a feature of pinhole cameras which is vignetting. So the four corners are all dark which create a “old photograph” style.
  4.  It is a sidewalk or a bridge. It’s interesting because it uses one of the features of pinhole cameras which contorts the image. So the image looks weird and cool.
  5.   it is a child and his toy car. It’s interesting because the child looks like a ghost and all the landscape looks contorting. So the image looks gloomy and depressing.

3) Camera obscura (meaning “dark room”), also referred to as pinhole image, is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen as a reversed and inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening. The surroundings of the projected image have to be relatively dark for the image to be clear, so many historical camera obscura experiments were performed in dark rooms.

A pinhole camera, also known as camera obscura, or “dark chamber”, is a simple optical imaging device in the shape of a closed box or chamber. In one of its sides is a small hole which, via the rectilinear propagation of light, creates an image of the outside space on the opposite side of the box.

I want to take a picture that have me and Lucy. That we shake our arm and move our leg, seems like both of us have thousands of arm and legs.

 

 

 This is a picture of pinhole camera. Just like what we made. They use black tape and seal up the box with the shaders and pinhole.

Because the pinhole camera only has two color white and black so it has the difference of color’s depth. When you see this picture you can first see the man in the middle of the picture, that is because of that reason.

The track is the leading line that lead your eye to see far(the bright hole)

This is a really interesting picture that only the pinhole camera can do. It use the characteristic of pinhole camera. The continue the continual action that can let the action present on the picture.This is a picture of camera obscuras. And it might be sealed.

 

 

Camera obscura (plural camerae obscurae or camera obscuras;[1][2] from Latin, meaning “dark room”: camera “(vaulted) chamber or room,” and obscura “darkened, dark”), also referred to as pinhole image, is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen as a reversed and inverted image (left to right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening.

A Pinhole Camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture, a pinhole – effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which is known as the camera obscure effect.

1.I want use pinhole camera in the basketball court.

2.  This picture it looks likes a person’s mouth.

Give the dangerous feeling to people.

 Mood: LONELY!

 The road is endless!

 A beautiful pinhole picture!

 

Camera obscure means dark room! Also referred  to as pinhole image !The term “camera obscura” also refers to constructions or devices that make use of the principle within a box, tent or room. Camerae obscurae with a lens in the opening have been used since the second half of the 16th century and became popular as an aid for drawing and painting.

1.I want three boys, let them stand in a row, from the shortest to the tallest. They all bring a symbol of their age:toy, book, laptop.

2.

pictures of camera obscuras:

3.①The camera obscuras make the view inside of the house, so you don’t need to go outside.

②This one make the white wall colorful.

.

photographs taken with pinhole cameras

3.①This photo use the feature of the pinhole cameras, low angle of view

②This photo also use the low angle of view, and the leading line.

pinhole camera examples

3.The shelter is kind of useful.

4.Camera obscuras use a room to be a camera, and in this room only leave on little hole, the light from outside will get in, the view of the outside will show in the room.

Pinhole camera just like a small camera obscuras, the light will get in from the pinhole, leave a photography paper on the opposite of the pinhole, then the light will hit the paper. The paper will turn black if the light is get in.

I also learn some skills to took a better photo with a pinhole camera, low angle of the view is useful.
