The photograph above was taken by
me in my photography class. The unit was on photograms. A photogram is when
different transparent items are placed on light sensitive paper and you expose
light onto the paper for just the right amount of time. This produces the
negative. To get the positive of the image you have to place the negative on
top of the light sensitive paper and expose light on this for just the right
amount of time. I am very pleased in the way these pictures turned out.
The photograph above was one of the
first pictures I took in my photograph class. However I did not use a camera.
We had to create our own pinhole cameras. A pinhole camera is a box; mine was a
shoe box, with a square cut out of one side. In that square we placed a sheet of
metal from a soda can. Then we poked a hole into the metal and covered it up
with a flap of card board. When we are ready to take the picture we put light
sensitive paper into the box across from the hole in the dark room and seal the
box up so it is light tight. Then we go out on a sunny day and open the flap of
cardboard, exposing the light sensitive paper. Once completed, we bring the
pinhole camera into the dark room and develop the light sensitive paper, giving
us a negative. To get the positive of the image you have to place the negative
on top of the light sensitive paper and expose light on this for just the right
amount of time. This picture above took me two hours to make. I am very happy
with the way it came out.
Collin, those pictures are amazing! I remember in the SAGE program in second grade, we made our own cameras like that and developed the film! However, the pictures did not turn out very well... But I thought these pictures were taken by a professional camera! Great job!
