My Pinhole camera
Recently I started a pinhole camera project! I attempted to use my extremely old biscuit tin to make a camera ,that’s true photography .First off I made my pinhole camera light tight which meant painting the inside of my tin black ,next we had to make a small hole using a drill or Stanley knife. Then we had to cover the hole with tinfoil (used as a makeshift light reflector), next a pinhole had to be made in the tinfoil which was my cameras aperture. Lastly I had to enter the dark room and insert some photographic paper, carefully ensuring I don’t expose the paper to light and making sure I putt a shutter over my aperture (pinhole). I then set off to take some pictures my exposure time varied on how dark the place was were I was taking the picture, for example: indoors my exposure time was about 20 minutes and outside my exposure time was about 30 seconds because more light would enter my camera .My first photo was black but my next three were much better as I experimented with exposure times and made sure my tin was more light tight but still if I was to do it again I would use a smaller box/tin and would make sure my camera was extremely light tight. Please check out my photos when I post them!
