Together as a class we planned and displayed our negatives and positives on the 7th floor located in the uhall stairs. Each student displayed their self portraits and negatives (or positives) to show. The show was displayed for a week. This was my first time participating in art/photography show and I enjoyed it. I am looking forward to showing more of my art/photography in the future.
2. "Where my Eyes Cannot Go"
Picture taken on patio beside Starbucks over patio. I pointed the camera over the patio from a perspective where it cannot be reached. Due to wind, I almost dropped the camera resulting to white patch top left corner. 12 second exposure.
For assignment 2, we were instructed to create 2 pinhole cameras to create negatives using light and photo paper.
The first camera I made (bottom) is made out of cardboard box that I purchased. I then used a utility knife to cut out a small square and placed aluminum foil with electrical tape. Using the tip of a push pin I created the hole. Inside the camera, I painted it black using acrylic paint to avoid any light reflection.
The second camera (top) is made out of styrofoam that I purchased from the dollar store. This material was tricky to work with as it was very fragile. Using scissors and a utility knife, I attempted to cut in half and make it hollow. Using the bottom of a pop can I created the lid. I then painted the outside and inside black using three coats of acrylic paint. After, using a utility knife I created a square to place the aluminum foil with a small hole. Lastly, I used electrical tape to piece together the styrofoam and aluminum foil.
Both cameras worked well, though I found using my thumb as the shutter worked better than using electrical tape as the shutter.
