Recommended Pinhole Site

The website I have been looking at is a page developed by Justin Quinnell. He is a pinhole photographer who specializes in my favorite aspect of pinhole photography. He builds cameras out of the weirdest things. He has a camera made out of a watermelon , and he also has one that goes in his mouth. I find this very interesting. Go see for your self.

On the field trip we went to Gallery 44 in downtown Toronto. We had an instructor and he helped us build and use a pinhole camera. He walked us through every step and made his points clear. After we built our cameras we were equipped with photography paper. We were let out of the building and were assigned to take a few pictures. We used the gallery's dark room and developed our photos there. After the trip we took our cameras back to school and used them for assignments there. I learned everything about pinhole cameras and, am happy I did. This excited me thinking of all the different things you could use to make cameras. Pinhole cameras work around the basis of a light-tight container with photography paper inside. There is a small hole in the container positioned in front of the blank photography paper. You set up the desired shot and slowly remove the thing that you used to block the hole. Doing this will result in slowly letting in light making your paper a picture. Developing this later in a dark room will give you a photo negative.

This particular photo uses photography lines to express it's real qualities. The diagonal lines make movement across the picture to a solid bar that gives stability a third way up the picture. This stability being a third way up also utilises the Rule of Thirds taking the focus away from the centre of the frame.

With this picture I decided to talk about the aspect of Focal Point. Your eye is un doubt ably drawn to the lock leaving the rest of the photo shadow. It really distinguishes one thing from another enhancing all of the surfaces. I also believe that this picture is very simple and easy not really going extreme with angles or dynamics. This enhances the Simplicity element as well.

This photo i took of a Scarf sitting on a pump. I digitalized it really bringing the shadow of the scarf out. This really changes the amount of texture you can see in the scarf almost giving you the image that it is there. The lines in the back use repetition and rhythm to keep your moving all across the picture therefore enhancing its elements.

This picture can be a little hard to make out. It is a photograph of a door handle. I adjusted the aperture to make the handle really stand out and the background stay as a lower element in the photo. This can be easily explained by saying I used the selective focus element. I decided to make the handle a third way across the frame making sure your eye is not in the middle. This uses the Rule of Thirds.

I took this picture whilst thinking about different camera angles. The camera was tilted as well as the objects within the frame. This makes the pylon go from the bottom to the top. If you look at the bench back rest it looks as if it is expanding as it gets closer to the camera. Shape and Form are visible there enhancing images and angles.
