How did I take my Pinhole Camera Images

Using my Pinhole Camera I took a selection of images that were developed in the dark room and edited on Photoshop. To take my images I had to make a Pinhole camera, this was made using a Pringle Tin and other materials that merged together to form the camera.

After it was made to use the Camera I had to undo the tape holding the hatch and expose the pinhole to light for a specific amount of seconds depending on the width of the tin. This made it able to take the photographs.

To develop the images I had to unload my photo paper in the dark room. In the dark room is where I developed the images. I had to dip the paper in a chemical to get the image out of the paper. Once this was done I put it in some water to wash the chemical off before I put it into the last chemical called the ‘fix’ this fixed the image and made the image permanent so we could go back into white light or the light and see the image without it distorting.

Lastly we left them to dry till they were good enough to see. To save them and upload them to my drive was the next part so I could edit the images and make them clearer on Photoshop. They were scanned on the printer and scanner and sent to the Google Drive in PDF format.

To edit them I had to open up the PDF images of the images I had taken and import them onto Photoshop. Once there open on the window I flipped the image horizontally and rotated it 180 degrees so I could work the right way up.

Lastly to edit the images I inverted them so that the darkened areas went lighter to give a positive and fully edited image of what the Pinhole Camera had taken.
