Pin hole cameras

Today we experimented with possibly the purest form of photography, the home-made pin hole camera-can, the device essentially allowed light through a small pin prick in the side of a can.

This light then reacted with the photosensitive paper lining inside the can creating a wide field, sharp 8 second exposure of whatever lay in front of the can.

Here is an unprocessed photograph of my initial outcome.


Here is the same image after some photoshop retouching which hopefully brings it a bit more life.
