Week 2 - Pinhole Photography (Cream Cracker Pinhole Camera)

This is another lesson I was unfortunate to miss, due to being enrolled on Fashion with Photography at the time. Although I missed this lesson in particular I did mange to make it to the next session where Justin Quinnell was teaching us the fundamentals of  Pinhole Photography, this time using a Cream cracker as the hole.

To make a cream cracker pinhole, you will need a cereal box, photographic paper, gaffer tape, flash guns and of course a cream cracker!

Once assembled we headed to the darkroom to take advantage of the darkness for this particular shot, we held the camera in front of a student's face and asked two other students to hold a flash gun each at the side of the students face, after a count of three we exposed the image for a second or two. We when back out into the light, removed the photographic paper. We could see the negative image and with our mobile phone cameras we captured the negative with a negative filter, the results was amazing!
