Pinhole Photos

Description

Photos I took with literally just a box I made with a .5 mm hole in it (pinhole camera). The way it works is you put photographic paper (essentially the paper version of film) on the opposite end of the hole and put the box somewhere for anywhere between 4 minutes and 1 hour, depending on if you're in direct sunlight or inside at night.

I developed them in the dark in my bathroom with only little tiny orange LEDs to see what I was doing lol...

The original photos were all negatives, so I inverted most of them, but left a couple where I thought the negatives looked cooler than the positives (#4 and #7. All of these photos are not edited very much at all (besides inverted in some cases) so this is what kind of photos you can take with just a box with a tiny hole in it.

I did this for my Light and Color class. I like how the photos turned out, but 20 hours of work to get them was not fun haha. For every picture that came out, there were probably 5-7 ones that did not due to me not leaving the box out long enough.

I put this compilation together pretty quick for deviantart, so they're not masterfully presented. I'll be turning in a book with all of them in it tomorrow for my final.
