I have wanted to create a camera obscura in my room for a long time, and have just got around to actually making it. I blocked up my window yesterday and created a pinhole in the centre. Although, I couldn't see if this was actually working due to it being a completely grey day. I liked this though as the weather forecast said today was going to be sunny and I wanted the element of surprise I love so much with pinhole photography. When I woke up this morning I was delighted with what I sore. My first camera obscura had worked! I had seen images of others artists camera obscuras however, I was still amazed at my own. It is like the feeling you get when you develop your first pinhole photograph, just better. My first photos are not quite in focus due to a lack of tripod but, I am going to keep my camera obscura and document and changes.
