Quinnels photos

Justin Quinnell is a photography that makes wondrous pinhole photography. When Quinnell was four he had a lot of operations on his eyes. He had a patch on his eye which had a small hole coming out of it for him to see. Quinnell was a teacher and because Photograph contains many different materials, in the olden days, many children could not afford a lot of things such as cameras. Quinnel then thought the children could make cameras out of the Coke cans they buy every day. Quinnell worked as a consultant for the movie “The brothers bloom”.

I think the different things that has occurred in his life such as, the eye patch and making a camera out of Coke cans helped Quinnell to extend his knowledge on Pinhole cameras and has been a big inspiration to many students such as, myself to want to learn more about Pinhole cameras and different ways I could make cameras using the Pinhole experiment.

My experiment for my final piece

Technical Studies: photos

This is my test strip that i done and the photo came out to dark. The timing was on for too long with no filter on and at F8.

My technical study: photos

These two photos are my test strips and what i have done was i went into the Darkroom and set the timing to one second. I then had a dark black paper which i moved every one second. This helps me because i then know the timing that i should set when i do a picture full picture. The first picture at the top was too light which would have given me the wrong timing. I done the test strip again and it gave me the right timing.

My Pinhole camera shots

These are my Pinhole camera shots. What i done was cut 1cm square in my tin with a sharp craft knife and measured 5cm from the bottom of my tin to the top. I got aluminium foil and coloured the back of the foil with black pen and put the foil over the hole with black tape. I set it on a flat surface and measured my timing which was 22 seconds. This then gave me these photos and i edited some on photoshop by using hue/saturation. This gave me different colours such as, the Red and the Blue. I think this Pinhole worked well because it shows different ways you can take photos.
