I went to the darkroom Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to develop my pinhole photographs. I had some trouble developing some of my photographs because the contrasts were coming out blurry. Originally, my pinhole camera was not working right because light was coming in through the top that I had not accounted for. I taped up the entire camera, of which I designed from a crystal light container, and found that I had more luck with my photographs. Originally when I was working with my camera that was allowing in too much light, I barely had to expose the hole in my camera for any time at all. I exposed it for only a minute and a half and it was pretty black. But after I taped up the top I had an easier time and I was able to expose my paper to light for 3-4 minutes. My photographs came out a little funny, with white completely around the edges and the image only in the center. I adjusted my pinhole and I was able to get an actual photograph that covered the entire paper. This one came out particularly light when I made my positive. My photograph that expressed motion came out really well. I sat in a chair for two minutes and stood for another three, and ghosting was completely visable. The outline of my oxford shirt showed up well, and a blur from my movement from the chair to the standing position. The lighting on this photgraph came out well too. In class we critiqued the different photographs that were taken from pinholes, and many of my classmates photographs came out beautifully.
