pinhole reflection

Using a pinhole camera is frustrating but rewarding. sometimes nothing works, while it works very well other days. i learned that if you want ot have a sucessful photo it needs to be very nice out. when it is raining, you usually need to guess the exposure time which means that most photos go very badly. my favorite photo was my double exposure because you could see the 2 photos but it still worked.

Pinhole Camera Photographer

Steve Irvine is the pinhole photographer I chose. the reason I chose this artist is because the pictures he does look very fictional and unreal. One of the pictures is the moon with a structure on it. all of them look very unique and arn't photos that are over used.

Pinhole Camera Definition
