Camera Obscura-my attempt

By Rebecca Hitchcox 9e

My 2 most successful picture

I think they are the most successful images because they look better and you can sort of see what your looking at

I that pictures quite successful because I crop it to get rid of the bit I didnt need.

My most unsuccessful picture

I choose this picture as the most unsuccessful because it looks really bad. You just see the objects in the classroom.

What is a camera obscura

A camera obscura is a shoe box or you can do it in a room. Once youve done that you make the room or the box black. If you have used a box you put a quite big rectangle and a quite small square. On the square you put tin foil on the quite big rectangle you put tracing paper. Then you poke a hole through the tracing paper if you do it in a shoebox if you done the camera obscura in a room you just poke a hole in the fabric on the window Then you photo should appear either on the wall or tracing paper.

What I would do next time

If we work with the camera obscura again I will make sure that no light is coming in and will make sure I hold down the fabric properly to make sure the light does not come in.

Camera Obscura
We stuck duck tape on the camera obscura because it will make the camera obscura dark so you will be able to see the picture when it comes through.

We use the tracing paper to project the image from the sun outside the camera obscura.

We cut out a square on the box and stuck foil to it on the foil we poked a pin in. we poked the pin in because you face the foil and the pin hole to the sun and the pictures from outside should come in.

Abelardo Morell and the camera obscura

Morell, Abelardo (b. 1948), Cuban-born American photographer. Brought to the USA by his family, Morell was educated at Bowdoin College and Yale. He has taken perception and camera obscura photography to a new level, projecting, for example, cityscapes onto interior walls of children's bedrooms and printing the results. Influenced in part by magic realism in Latin American literature, Morel's work has visually explored the world of child perception, the lives of paintings on museum walls, and the physicality of books, including Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. He teaches at the Massachusetts College of Art.
