Experimentation with different pinhole cameras

Pinhole Cameras
Biscuit tin camera:
To create these images i taped a piece of film paper to the inside of the biscuit tin, i then took the tin outside and exposed it for around 10 seconds.
These were the results:




Cereal Box Camera:
I stuck tow cereal boxes together and covered the outside with black card to ensure no light enters the camera. I next used a pin to poke a hole in a small piece of metal, which would act as the shutter. I took the camera outside and exposed it for around 2 minutes.


In these images, i don't think the pinhole was lined up with the film in the camera, causing part of the film to not be exposed.


However, in this image, the film was over exposed. 

Box Camera: 

This camera is very similar to the biscuit tin camera, however the pinhole was on the side instead of the top, making the images much clearer. 

 In both of these images the film has been ruined before i even took the picture, however the rest of the image still came out much clearer and in focus than the rest of the pinhole cameras. I plan to use this camera in the future, taking more experimental images in more interesting places.


Coffee Tin camera:

I exposed this image for too long, making it very fuzzy and difficult to make out what it is. 






This second image is much easier to make out, as i exposed it for less time.
