Pinhole Photography
Course Modules

Duration of the course
Pinhole Cameras is a half day workshop usually taken either as an evening or weekend day. The workshop is made of one module which comprises the following:

Module 301 - Image Formation - Pinhole Photography

Aim of the course
By the end of the course you will be able to use a 35mm SLR camera competently and understand how to use photographic techniques to achieve creative affects. You will be able to process a black and white film, print photographic prints from a negative and be able to use the darkroom by yourself.

Materials Needed for the course
Students will need:
A 35mm SLR camera
A light tight box, preferably with the inside painted black. Cardboard boxes such as a cornflakes box let in too much light. You need to choose something more like the kind of box mobile phones come in as they have thicker card. Better still a small biscuit or chocolate tin -'Roses' do an oval shaped one, which makes an excellent camera (and you get to eat the chocolates as well!)

Black and white photographic paper.
Do not open the packet of paper until inside the darkroom or it will be ruined!
