For the first major project of the semester, we made pinhole cameras. With this, we had to create a dark room in the class where we would load our cameras with the special photo paper and then after we captured our image we would go back in the dark room and develop our pictures. It took many tries for us to finally capture the right image. I thought of using a pair of ballet slippers in a basket as the main focus of my image. I added a book standing up to the left of my basket giving the photo a vintage feel. I first tried to capture this image outside. Once I tried to develop it, I realized there was to much light coming in. My next shot, I took it inside. When I went into the black room and developed the image, I could see the image and it had good definition. Then, I used photoshop to invert the colors and it gave the photo a better look. |
