Multiple pinholes



I have turned a Cadbury's Roses tin into a pinhole camera, the shape and size of the tin has allowed me to create a pinhole camera with multiple pinholes. These photographs were taken using three different pinholes located at different points around the roses tin, giving a 360 degree photograph of one place. The is a first practice camera and as you can see some adjustment needs to be done to the positioning of the pinholes. The strip of white on the bottom photograph shows that there is a lapse in light getting to this part of the paper. The top photograph however doesn't have this strip of white because it has been exposed for longer. This does mean that other areas of the photograph have become overexposed, giving denser areas of black which block areas of detail from being seen.  Therefore, the pinholes need to be positioned closer together to enable a full 360 degree to be formed rather than expose the whole photograph for longer.
