The Pin Hole Camera Assignment:

You are to use a basic box as a camera; it must be completely light tight except for the pin hole opening that should be covered by some black tape.

Try to take photos with your box by loading the photo paper in the darkroom and going outside to take your photos. Make sure you keep track of the time and lighting conditions hold steady with each exposure (a tripod can be handy).

Pin Hole Camera Criteria:

1. Clear Subject- image is in focus, good exposure, subject is easy to identify.
2. Positive of your pinhole photo. Use the enlarger to invert the darks to light and visa versa.
3. Scan your best print and post it to your blog. Then write a short reflection about your project.

Bonus Marks:

1. Double Exposure- Expose your photo paper 2 times. You image should still be clear and easy to see.
2. Movement- Make sure you can identify your image. The movement should be very slow.
3. Label all of your experiments and hand in.
