My exposures

I love the pinhole camera! I have got some great images from using them and want to continue with the experimentation to see what other effects I can create.  It did take quite a lot of trial and error at first to actual get any detail in the images, I found that my first diameter was much too large and kept coming out with black circles.  With some perfection and a new way to make a hole in the tin cans it did get some fascinating results.  I found it best to first drill a hole in the tin can (1-2cm) and then get a piece of a coke can, sand the centre so that it was as thin as possible, and then pierce it with a needle.  This allowed me to get some very small apertures, and it is these small apertures which enabled me to get such definition in my images.  In the future I could maybe experiment with lenses to adjust the focus, but this will do for my first set of pinhole cameras.  The image here is one of the first I did where I got some sort of definition, even tho the centre of the image is still black and been exposed too much, I think it creates a nice effect as the viewer is blocked off from some areas, and presented with foggy fragments from the site.
