Positive Pinhole Picture

Image
  This is the positive developed version of my pinhole negative, some detail is more visible but it’s overall blurry, exposure could have been 2 seconds instead of 3 but it came out alright. Using test strips to see the best exposure for this picture, you can still se that the blotches of light are still visible even after it became a positive. I don’t have a picture of the back yet since it’s still in class left to dry.

Negative Pinhole Picture

 This is my pinhole camera negative along with the back, I took a picture of a stop sign and let light in for a minute. The picture came out very over exposed but I still like it. After developing you could soft of see the side of the school on the left and weird blotches of light. 

Value

Image
  A patch of grass can look like charcoal from a certain angle, but it looks like it grew that way.  This photo uses contrast and harsh value to show the differences between the grass and the grass.  What's behind the door? Is it something scary, looks that way doesn't it? This photo uses shadow and differences between light and dark to show value.  Out the window, I saw the trees spindly and twisted. Dead from the winter storm.  This picture shows intricate contrast between the sky and the tree outside my window. 

Shape

                                           Looking at me through the light. The sun sets in his eyes.     A picture of my dad that uses shape and color to accentuate his eye. Making a box shape on his face.  A picture of a camera. Is this inception? The line of my pants creates a line towards the rectangle of the camera. The shape being the rectangle. There is also a use of light colors, making the camera more eye catching.  I did'nt see the plane as it passed by. At least I got its triangular aftermath. This is a picture of plane trails,  the shape in this photo is a triangle. The picture uses the rule of thirds and shape while also utilizing foreground elements to give the picture more depth. 

Pinhole Camera

  Pinhole Camera - A camera that has a small hole on the front, allowing minimal light into it. Projecting an image onto a screen in the back of box. Definition Source   In the 5th century, philosophers such as Aristotle and Mo Ti created the first ideas of the pinhole camera. Aristotle wrote images of the camera, Mo Ti discovered the inverted nature of the early day pinhole camera.  Within the 4th century Arabian mathematician Alhazen proposed the idea of using the pinhole camera to view the solar eclipse. Leonardo De Vinci also described the camera in his notebooks. Giovanni Battista Della Porta described the camera in detail. Although many people had described and used the pinhole camera it took centuries to be put to use in a photographic sense. Staring in the 19th century the introduction of light sensitive surfaces were introduced with the camera,   Frenchman Joseph Nicophore Niepce was the first to put it all together and use it.  Scientist Sir John Hersh...

Cold

  Peephole  Looking for a sign in the winter air. Except no sign to be found, just two jugs of petrol.  This is a still life photo, that uses guiding lines and dark colors to portray a sense of coldness in the air, along with the small patch of snow on the ground.  Desolate Light Across the yard was almost the sun. Couldn't be, the sun was behind me.  This is a landscape image, that utilizes color and a central point that the eye is drawn to. A bluish color to accentuate the coldness of the morning.  Snowy Spot Just beyond my window where the water is warm and clear. The water out there is still no warmth at all.  From and angle the snow looks like the ocean which wasn't the intention but adds a different detail. I used lines and framing. Having some of the plant in the frame to break up the straight lines. Leaving the image still and lifeless.
