3 Positives 3 Negatives

The time for the positive was longer than the other images because it was darker and needed more exposure to see the image. The image was from the houses and it was exposed to the sun for too long.
This image was an inside image which took 3 minuites to get the negative. I lost the test strip and guessing it was approximately less than 10 seconds. You could see the halls on the left, the door in the middle, and the lockers on the left.
This is the best piece out of all, the exposure from the negative was the right colour that the positive came out good. The positive was 10 seconds long and you could see the school back.

Pinhole Idea

My idea was a cardboard box which opens just like this image. The camera would go inside where it opens so we can close it.

Pinhole Camera

This is interesting because it was made from a pumpkin and the light was probably the side.
This looks basic with tape and a cover to block the light out.

Pinhole images

 > I choose this image because it looks like something had happened during this time period. England looks different without cars or people walking around.

< This image has abstract and a texture of old touch. The view from below looks like a tall building. Looks like a royal building back then.
> I choose this image because it doesn't look like any park pathway. The building behind doesn't look old at all. The trees have old texture to them.
