We had great fun today creating a camera obscura in the photography room. We blacked out the room (as best we could) and cut a small hole in the material over one window. We hung a white sheet opposite and hoped for the best. After about a minute our eyes adjusted to the gloom and we could clearly see an upside down image of the building opposite projected on the sheet. We used a 30 second exposure (ISO 3200) to capture this image.

To obtain an even clearer image we held a piece of white card close to the hole. We then decided to cover the card with photographic paper and experimented with various exposure times to capture a paper negative image (as you would in a smaller pinhole camera). I’m looking forward to making the positives tomorrow in the darkroom.

Pinhole Papercams by Thomas Hudson Reeve

Pinhole photographer Thomas Hudson Reeve has come up with an interesting concept for shooting: he doesn’t use a camera and he doesn’t even use film! Instead, he uses Papercams, pinhole cameras made entirely out of photo paper! Check out the awesome results below.

Now this looks very interesting…

The garbage men of Hamburg started Trashcam Project, in which they turned giant garbage bins into pinhole cameras! 

The photos? Not too shabby.
