A photograph is the description of an event printed on paper. . I recently created a pin hole disposable camera as an experiment to see how a camera worked in the old times. Also, it was to learn what photography was composed of and its history. . This camera was made with paper, a needle going through the paper to see the picture and some tape to make the camera box be put together. This camera looked to be easy to make but for my group it took a while before I actually got the camera to be ready so the pictures would show up instead of not getting any pictures, which would have destroyed our whole project.
These are some questions that perhaps people don't know about cameras. I hope it helps!
Why is the photograph from the pinhole camera inverted?
The pinhole camera inverts the picture because when more light comes in the camera the mirror image meaning the picture that is inside makes it to be opposite for the picture this is called inversion. Then since the light bounces into the bottom of the mirror view inside the camera this is what flips the picture around and then when its developed it comes out on the right side so that people can see the picture.
Why is the photograph from the pinhole camera a negative image?
Taking a picture with a pinhole camera has a certain effect. When a person takes a picture of an object the light that is being produced affects the way the picture is going to look like when it gets developed. For example if a person takes a picture of a flower in the sunlight what is going to happen is the flower is not going to be color and its going to be black. Then the background that the flower was exposed in is going to appear to be dark since the sunlight also appears to be dark, unless there were some shadows that exposed what the flower looked like. On the other hand if there is a lot of light the picture is going to turn out to be dark and if the object that you are taking a picture of is dark like a shadow it is going to show up light on the picture.
The view finder functions to help pick what the photographer is aiming for in order to take a picture with my pinhole camera. The definition of a view finder is "optical device that helps a user to find the target of interest" (Dictionary.com). When I am taking a picture what I want is to know what I am going to take a picture of. Since the view finder is a useful tool to use then it makes it easier for my group and I. The measurements of my view finder are 12x 6 cm. Each measurement was made so that the photographic paper would fit and my picture would show up correctly. First I measured how big the square where the photo paper goes and then made the first square for my view finder. I calculated the measurements as to how everyone else was doing it.
The procedures for the development process are the exposure, developer, stop path, fixer and rinse. The exposure is when the light is hitting the silver bromide (AgBr) which does not allow you to see the picture after it has been exposed. Developer is when AgBr completes the image, kind of like finishing a painting. Stop path is when you place the image in so that it will wash off the developer. The fixer is when the image washes off the unexposed meaning the AgBr to become exposed. And finally the last procedure to do is the rinsing part, which is when you put the pictures in water for about 4 minutes so that the chemicals wash off so that it is better to touch.
Motto when taking pictures: "Capture a moment that take place in time weather its emotional, political, or miscellaneous, and that wants to make an impact on the people who critique it" (I wrote it myself).
