Henry Fox Talbot

In photography we talked about old photographers. My study was on Henry Fox Talbot. He invented the Calotype which was an improvement on the daugerreotype. He was also accepted in the Royal Society for his expertise in Mathematics.

My Pin Hole Cam

Last week in Photography we made pin-hole cameras out of pringles cans. We used a soda can to make a plate with a tiny hole and cut a hole in the pringles can. We put the plate in and covered the big hole leaving a small hole. We made a slider to cover and uncover the hole using cardboard. The inside is painted black so there are no reflections on the inside an it's dark. We make images by putting in photo sensitive paper inside and then uncovering the tiny hole.

Picture Taking

I like taking photos because it's fun and you can capture funny and/or important moments.
