Camera Explorations http://phototricks.posterous.com pinhole camera independent project posterous.com Thu, 13 May 2010 10:39:34 -0700 rain, rain, go away... http://phototricks.posterous.com/rain-rain-go-away-80 http://phototricks.posterous.com/rain-rain-go-away-80 Sorry I haven't updated in a while- last week was Tulip Time and I was gone for three of the days. The last couple days when we've been taking pictures has been cloudy- today it is raining. So Kristin and I have decided to take pictures indoors. They normally are underexposed, so we decided to turn on all the stage lights. Yesterday I tried to take two there, one for 2 min. and the other for 5. They were both VERY underexposed, so I currently have one going for 30 min. Hopefully this works.

They are a bit over exposed, but they are visible. :) I've learned the exposure needs to be around 20 on a sunny day facing away from the sun

#1: 20s sunny bikes- the camera shook during the picture
#2: 20s sunny statue
#3: 20s sunny track
#4: 20s sunny downtown by the ferris wheel

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 18:22:00 -0700 Take Two... http://phototricks.posterous.com/take-two-49 http://phototricks.posterous.com/take-two-49

Today, after taking several more failed pictures, I tried making a new camera. It is now bigger, has a larger focal length, has a bigger pinhole, and is painted black on the inside. Hopefully this works!
Here are the new specifications:

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 17:01:37 -0700 First Pictures http://phototricks.posterous.com/first-pictures-15 http://phototricks.posterous.com/first-pictures-15 Friday and today were our first days of taking pictures. On Friday, my picture was over exposed and turned out nearly all black. Today went better- the first one wasn't all black, but still had splotches all over and no distinct picture. The second one turned out better- it was supposed to be of tulips near school, and they are somewhat recognizable. I'll scan them later this week and get them up as soon as possible.
