Pin hole photography

We were looking at Pin Hole Photography and how to turn our own digital cameras into Pin Hole Camera.

The first thing we had to do was turn the camera off and take the lense off.

Then you have to cover up the 'contacts' (Where the lens connects) to stop the camera shorting out. Masking tape is perfect for this job because it is not too sticky and doesn't leave residue when removed.
Then cover the whole of the front with Tin Foil and secure with more masking tape, again useful because it doesn't leave marks.
Then, using a pin, carefully poke a small hope in the center of the foil. This allows the light in when you take the picture.


This photo is the result of adding more then one whole to the foil. It adds a multiplied affect because the light is coming through more then one hole so the camera sees more then one perspective of the image and uses them all on the one photo, creating something like this.
This is with just one hole. Taken outside in the sun.

Most of the photos are quite out of focus. But you can still tell what they are off.


This is a photo of the sun, I love the light flare that has been captured in this shot.

What is the difference between a joiner and a montage.

A montage is when you piece together lots of separate images to create a collage, like this:
