This week in my pltw class, me and my group did the Intro to Photography module. In this module, our assignment was to create a pinhole camera to capture images around us. The only materials we used were a box, the inside was a dark color, paper, film, masking tape, a thumb tack, aluminum foil, and scissors. When our camera was done, we went into a dark room to load the film in the camera. We then went outside and held the camera still so light would get through and the camera would capture an image. We let light through for about 45 seconds, and then closed to camera so light wouldn’t come back in. My group and I went back to the dark room and took out the film from the camera. We put the picture in the developer, and then in water and we let it sit in the fixer for about 2 minutes. Our picture turned out all black the first time, and we tried changing the seconds we let light come in. In our 6th try we finally got it and this is what our picture turned out like! (:
