First Project: Pinhole Cameras and Photograms

First project of the year, and already a possible disaster. First, we did "caneras", or pinhole cameras, which operate like mini camera obscuras. We did a portrait of ourselves (with a success on the second try), then were set loose on campus to take a picture of school life. This, however, did not succeed. The final results are displayed below. The first picture is the picture of school life, in which I forgot the fact that negatives are opposites, and I thought that I had to be faster with my "shutter" speed.





The next part of this project is the photogram. This is pretty easy. Place a bunch of stuff on the light, and you're good! The image that resulted is below.



All images were left in the wash for too long, and so they are warped, but the images are really cool.
