Photography and Pin Hole Camera Evaluation

This week I have been bombarded about information on Photography, but I have taken it all in and have thoroughly enjoyed working with it and think I was successful with it, despite missing the first two days of work. Before the start of the week I had only done work on photography for work experience, and therefore have never been properly run through the ins and outs.
I found it fascinating that a Pringle tube, with some paper and a pin-sized hole could create such good pictures, and work so well. This enabled me to learn how, where and in what ways photos could be taken.
I have now established that a photo is taken by light radiation, hence why the flash is needed in the dark usually to create light for the photo to be taken, light is put through the aperture and then the lens. And that an overview of how a photo works is, radiation on a sensitive medium.

Photo’s used in…..

Photo’s can be used on many different levels and businesses. For example sport photography is usually snapshots of the competitor in action therefore they are usually moving when the image is taken.
Different methods can be used in:
Food










Law







Science and Forensics (need to be very precise and accurate)










Art







Film






Documentary






Instructions







And in most aspects of life, photo’s are usually not far away.

Focus: How sharp the user desires, by adjusting the size of the lens.







Aperture: Controls the amount of light passing through the lens.






Shutter Speed: Different shutter speeds affects the timing of the photograph and how it is taking therefore reducing or increasing light and intensity.

Contrast: Changing visual aspects of the image, making it sharper or denser.

Black and White: Colour taken out of the image.

Our pin hole cameras worked well, we took photos inside and outside. However as I was away for the first two days I was behind and only manager to take 3 photos all of which worked well:

One inside the Atrium:















One outside looking up at the fence to the college:

  1. Louis despite missing the start of the rotation you managed to create some interesting images. Your evaluation needs to include more technical information on how the images were created - and how successful you feel the final images were.
