Pin hole camera is a very simple way to explore photography. For the process, you need prepare a box without any holes so no light could through otherwise the film will expose.
I prepared two boxes with different materials to help me understanding which one works better.
Take them to outside and take of the tap on the pin whole, wait for 55- 65 seconds, then cover the whole immediately. Back to the dark room, take the films out to develop the image.
Image outcomes
The one in the paper box was completely black, so now I know tin box works much better. Another two important elements are time and light. Because the weather, outside wasn't that bright, maybe that's why the image doesn't have a high contrast. Also we have to timer it, if the pin hole been opened too long there won't show any image by the end either.
Over all, it's a fun process and I did enjoy it. The last image was me stand front of the camera, I couldn't keep myself stay, I moved a lot. So you could see my body shape looks like a ghost there which is quit creepy to me. I would like to try a self portrait when I get chance again.
