Pinhole Lumen Analysis

Lumen Pinhole is a type of photography that is taking photographs without a camera, the word pinhole means capturing images without a digital camera its all about capturing the image through a small hole in either a box or a can and letting light for a certain amount of time through the pinhole will expose light to the photographic paper. Below are examples of what Lumen pinholes look like, these are examples from some photographers.

For this project we were told to bring in an old can of drink for us to create our own pinhole lumen photography. The next step was to open the top of our can and pierce a needle size hold in the side of the can, we pierced the hole so light can be exposed to the paper I placed inside the can. I duck taped the top of the can so no light could enter and placed tape over the hole, which I didn't take off until I placed my can outside where it could capture the sunset and sunrise for three months. I placed my can outside Hawthorn on the gutter. Below is an image of my can and how it looks. I will keep my can tied to the gutter for three months to get the best result I can.  
My can so far has been set up on the gutter for under 3 months so far, this is a problem when it came to my deadline because my can hasn't been produced yet as I feel if I take the can dow now my image of the sunset wouldn't produce how most lumen pinholes look. I will take it down in a couple of weeks hoping my image has been created. I chose to leave the can up so it has stayed outside for the period of three months like it should so I can get a great outcome at the end of this instead of taking it down early for the decline and not having an image produced.

Final outcome:

My final outcome for my Luman pinhole wasn’t successful, this is because the constant change of weather where we had sun, rain and then a few days heavy snowfall my paper got wet which stopped the pinhole developing. I left my can out for three months hoping for a good outcome however when taking my photographic paper out the can and developing my image it never produced clearly creating an un successful pinhole. This is something I can improve on for next time so next time when I want to make a pinhole I know the steps I have to complete and hopefully next time a successful luman pinhole will be produced.

    Sticking to deadlines is an important lesson for professional life outside of college. Not sticking to deadlines means that this part of the project is a fail. It may well be true that leaving for longer may produce a better result but this cannot be used as an excuse for missing a deadline

Pinhole Photography: Sir David Brewster

Image
Sir David Brewster Sir David Brewster was a Scottish physic, mathematician, astronomer, inventor, writer, historian of science and university principle. Born 11 December 1781 and passed away 10 February 1868. He was educated at University of Edinburgh where he studied double refraction by compression and discovered photo elastic effect. Sir David Brewster was the first pinhole photographer when he made his first pinhole in the 1850's. His first pinhole photograph was of a field where he experimented how a pinhole worked and from then created many photographs using the pinhole camera. The pinhole is a lens less camera in a tight-light box with a very fine round hole in one end and film or photographic paper in the other. Light passes through the hole; where the image is formed onto the film or photographic paper. The image-forming ability of a tiny hole is thought to have been known thousands of years ago. Pinhole cameras have infinite depth of field, everythin

Decay  Here is my decay video. I chose to capture a series of images showing ice melting. I took a series of 90 images to capture from the start where there are ice cubes to the end where there's nothing left to see. My video lasts a couple of minutes, which shows me experimenting with decay. One thing I would improve on this video is the camea angles, I did'nt use a tri-pod, which meant some images were at different angles, this can effect my video becuase the constant camera movment doesnt give my GIF the professional look/effect to it. However for my first attempt at this I feel my GIF is successful becuase it clearly shows the idea I was creating of melting ice and clearly shows the stages of ice melting. The only thing I would change about my GIF is I would of used a tri-pod to keep little camera movements as possible meaning my GIF looking more effective. Narrative Sequence Above is my final Narrative Sequence. The story I am tryi

After Effects

After Effects  Above is my attempt of creating an after effect. I feel my attempt is successful, if I was to improve my work i would repeat the process a few more times. The first step we were given a photo that we imported into After Effects. The next step was then separating layers and made layers for each part of the photo. The plane, The shard and The sky. We then moved it the sky layer slightly to make it seem as if the sky was moving along with the plane, which I loved diagonally across the page. I had to make sure I had traced around the plane correctly otherwise you would see parts of the background around the plane meaning my after effect wouldn't look realistic as it passes past the shard. The final edits I made was creating the sky looking warmer creating it to have more vivid colours. One thing I found hard when creating my after effects was judging how fast and far everything should move so it didn't look unrealistic. Overall other than that I found creating
