EXHIBITION - PINHOLE TO PUBLIC







We have restructured our ideas and Caro joined us as well.  The purpose of exhibition assignement is to take photography to public.  We therefore would like to organise an educational project to teach kids how to make pin hole photography.  To get prepared for this, we need to make sure we are proficient in this skill.  Andrew is very much skilled and this gave us lots of insight and input when we started to do some pinhole photography last week.  He introduced us the reciprocal failure, when f stop does not work well in the aperture and exposure formula when aperture is getting too small say 200.  Based on his suggestion, we stared to shoot.  I used a ShinHao field camera by attaching a pin hole on the lens board.  I messed up quite a few shots not knowing the reason still.  Eventually got it right 8 minutes at 90mm distance of lens and film.  Alan used a Pentax 67II by using a pin hole on the lens lid.  Caro used a self made one.  Andrew refreshed my dark room and 5X4 practice.  We used a fibre positive 5x4 paper when shooting so straight into printing in the darkroom.  It was a fascinating day.  We then discussed possible issues concerning this project.
