Advanced Digital Imaging- Solargraph January 24, 2011

I am in Advanced Digital Imaging this semester. Our semester long project is to make a camera and put it outside for 3 or more months. We have until the end of April for these and what we are doing is solargraphs.

Here are a few photos from others who have done this. Some are 2 month exposures and some are a year:

Enjoy!

Anyway, how this works is making a pinhole camera out of just about anything as long as it doesn’t let the sun in or weather. The picture is taken with a pinhole camera , with no lens and just a photographic paper. It is left facing the sun for few months and let the sun expose the photographic paper – and the result is this stunning image . Not to difficult just have to be lucky enough to put the pinhole in the right spot of the sun. Here is one of my pinhole cameras that I have put up in my backyard in Warrensburg. I will let you know the final outcome in about 3 months :)
