Pinhole!

This has been a very crummy past few months. Very crummy. So I would not blame you if you've ditched my blog by now, but wait! There's More! I'm going to try to step it up and start blogging more! So keep in touch with Pippa's Blog, or you will regret it!

So, earlier this week was my very first time developing a photo! I made my high school's photo class (which i couldn't get into last year), so now every morning i get out there and take pictures with my digital, my Pentax, and currently, my pinhole camera. My pinhole camera is pretty cool and fun to make! It is basically a shoebox with a tiny (pin-sized) hole on the cover that releases light onto some photographic paper. It is basically a cardboard camera! Very easy to make. The only problem that an everyday person may face is where to develop the single photo. Luckily, my school has a very sketchy dark room in the basement. So if you have access to a dark room, then you are in luck! One photo takes roughly 10 minutes to develop. Now if you don't 'have access to a dark room, then all i can guess is that you put the light-sensitive film into a solid dark baggie (that won't leak in the sunlight!), and bring your film to a 1 hour photo store. My very first photo didn't come out that great! Well, it is great for my very first pinhole photograph, but in general it is a little too blurry for my fancy. But when i get to bring my photos home, i'll scan them and show you all my wonderful pinhole photographs!
