Pinhole PhotographyAlice Russell
What is a pinhole camera?
• Light sealed container with a small hole through which light exposes film
• Set aperture• No viewfinder• Self-operated shutter
Most important to consider:
• The amount of light available (inside versus outside, weather…)
• Film sensitivity• Aperture (pinhole)• Shutter speed (interval)
How It Works
• Light travel into container through pinhole, producing an inverted and reversed image on the opposite wall (film)
Each point of light coming in creates a point on the film
Negatives
• The film that has been exposed becomes the negative
• A positive is created through a contact print
Characteristics
• Infinite depth of field, which means that all parts of the photo are in focus
• Crisp photo quality• Wide angle• Black and white or color
