DARKROOM
Below are some projects I did in my schools darkroom for photography class. The first project I did was double exposure photograms, and the second one I did was pinhole photography. Both are shown below.
(When I get my scanner higher quality photos will be uploaded, but currently this is the best I have)
Photogram Double Exposures
"Binary Bird" (8x10)
Photogram taken on a piece of 8x10 paper for my photography class. It was submitted to the BCS Art Show.
"Untitled" (8x10)
My first Photogram taken on a peice of 8x10 paper for my photography class. This was my first double exposure and served as a test for my idea. For the final image the fence wire idea was scrapped
More Info
These double exposures where made by first exposing a silhouette of an image (my bird). Then by adding leaves and plant life of varying transparency to the paper. After this another exposure was taken and the paper was developed.
PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY
"Lonely Lot" (8x10)
Picture taken on an 8x10 pinhole camera that I made for photography class
TEST SHOT 1 (4x3)
NEGATIVE (8x10)
NEGATIVE TEST SHOT(4x3)
LOCATION OF SHOT 1&2
MY PINHOLE CAMERA;
THE "COMET MK1"
More Info
My 8x10 pinhole camera was made out of a cardboard paper box. I had to reinforce the box with more cardboard and an extra "chamber" to hold the film plane. I also painted the inside black and blocked out any light leaks.
The final image came out very sharp (for a pinhole) and with a large FOV. This is because prior to constructing the camera I used a pinhole calculator to achieve the qualities I wanted. This put the film plate at around 11 inches from the pinhole, leaving some empty space to store to film plane when not in use. (it was removable)
Overall this was a fun project to do. Hopefully some day I could construct my own 4x5 or 8x10 pinhole camera out of something nicer than cardboard.
