By using a pre-laser cut box template, we each created our pinhole boxes that would fit an A6 piece of light sensitive paper at the back of the box, of which on the opposite side of this container is a small hole for the light to enter.
Each location required a different time to leave the paper exposed. Out on the square was around 2 minutes, the courtyard of Vernon street was about 15 minutes due to the darker, move covered area. These were taken all based on guesses and at times a light meter reading. Each time the paper is exposed it requires returning to the dark room and developing the image, firstly to avoid the paper seeing light after the image is taken and secondly to see the results of the image, which will inform your next moves in considering light and timing.
After we exposed the paper, we developed them creating an image negative as seen on the left of the image below. Once fixed and dried in the dark room, this is then place on top of another piece of paper and exposed to light from the enlarger. This once developed again produces a positive to the negative. My favourite image created from the day is the one seen below, I love how the positive and negative match up to create this left and right contrast.
Experimenting with photography is something I want to take further as well as super8 film, all an interest of mine and the experimenting involved in these processes.
