Pinhole Pictures

This is a picture I took with the pinhole camera of the outside entrance, this is probably the best image I got from it, the exposure time was 20 seconds which i think was probably the best exposure time as the rest i did for 10-30 seconds and they came out all screwy.



This is a picture in the Atrium from a table. I think it's pretty good because you can see people eating and moving, the exposure time was 3 minutes which is surprisingly small for quite a good image if I do blow my own trumpet. The blurry bit on the right is the actual pinhole apparently, I could have cropped it out but i think it adds to the interest and as it's from a pinhole camera we musn't hide that fact. :)

This is Laura, isn't she pretty? :P

This was taken outside because when i tried to do it inside nothing really happened so i thought I'd go somewhere with better lighting conditions, also it was a good excuse for a smoke. The exposure time was for 30 seconds and for that time I think it has worked rather effectively.


This was obviously taken inside, It's a bit of a fail but it's alright. I placed my pinhole camera on a stair and left it for 2 minutes, it probably should have been there longer but by that time i was quite annoyed at all of mine that were over exposed and you get quite iffy about it all.
I'm not sure why it's gone all funny, but i guess that's the beauty of the pinhole camera. The window came out well, and laura was next to it but strangely it didn't pick her up.

I would put the negatives on but to be honest i'm not sure where they've gone and then it'd get awfully cramped and that so, these are all you can see at the moment :).

  1. Neil despite your early reservations you've clearly warmed to the fact that a blog is a good way to present your work. The images you shot with your pinhole camera are really interesting and, coupled with your extended captions, give a clear account of the week-long project, well done.
