Pinhole Images Evaluation
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. The Camera making process can be found at UNIT 1+2 > EVALUATION > ‘How I Made My Pinhole 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 permanente 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.
IMAGE 1
This image was done using my pinhole camera I made.
The image was taken at the College .
It was exposed for 4 seconds.
The image was quite successful as it got the building and path in the image nicely and once edited brought a pleasing result.
The only thing I consider was wrong was that the image has quite a few light areas at the top and bottom so I could expose the image for longer next time.
IMAGE 2
This image was done using my pinhole camera I made.
The image was taken inside the college in the atrium.
It was exposed for 30 seconds.
The image wasn’t that successful as it is very light.
The thing I consider was wrong was that the image has a lot of light areas at the top and bottom so I could expose the image for longer next time.
IMAGE 3
This image was done using my pinhole camera I made.
The image was taken in the atrium of the college.
It was exposed for 35 seconds.
The image was quite successful more than the previous anyway as you can briefly see the bottom of the college and the doors in the far end of the atrium. The lightness spoiled it a bit but it is an okay picture.
IMAGE 4
This image was done using my pinhole camera I made.
The image was taken at the College of the outside of the front building.
It was exposed for 5 seconds.
The image was quite successful as it got the building and path in the image nicely and once edited brought a pleasing result.
It seems the best out of the four images and is very clear of what it is.
