Coffee Camera

Artist Reflection 

The strongest technical aspect of my image form the coffee camera is that it has black points and also white points. The technical aspect of my work which could be improved on is the placement of me in the photo, I'm in the corner of the frame and it would've been nice if I was more towards in center. 

The easy part of the coffee camera was making the camera and making sure no light leaked in by using a test strip and placing inside the camera inside the darkroom and then taking it outside in the classroom without opening the shutter and seeing if any light may have leaked in. The difficult part was trying to figure out how much time we should let the light in to get blacks ands whites in the photo. 

I demonstrated the objective of this activity by making a pinhole camera that light doesn't leak in, and also by creating a test strip for 30sec outside seeing if we had the amount of time correct and then once I did I put a larger piece of paper inside the camera and placed it on the stool outs one agin for 30 sec I also sat on another stool against the brick wall as a subject in the photo. If I were to do this art activity again I would try to center myself in the frame more. 

Photos

Artist Reflection 

The strongest technical aspect of my work is the sharpness and contrast of my photos. The technical aspect off my work which could be improved on would be lining up the photo paper in the easel so the border of the photo would be straighter.

The easy part of creating the photos was actually taking them, I find it relatively easy to load up some film into a camera and just go out and take some photos. The difficult part of creating the photos was trying to find an aperture and amount of light along with filter that would give me the closet result to having some blacks and some whites in the photos while also being contrasty.

I demonstrated the objective of this art activity by taking photos, film developing process and the darkroom process. When I do this process again I hope to shoot some more landscapes/ cityscapes rather than just trying to photograph what I can find in a small vicinity of where I am.
