Who would've thought that an old paint tin with a pin hole through it could take photos?? Over the past week I've been undertaking an intense, two week Black and White Photography course. No digital or snazzy technology for this course.. It's all old-fashioned, dark room style! I'm actually enjoying this more than digital photography. There's an element of excitement as your photos develop since you don't know what to expect. I've found that some 'mistakes' can actually turn out to be an effective piece of work!

This is one of my 'mistakes' which my tutor loved:

Traditional photography gives you effects that you can't get through digital photography. Although it's a lot harder and more time consuming, it's been a very rewarding experience.

Here's some more pictures I took with a paint tin, pin hole camera.

I'll keep you updated on my next assignment which involves photographing numbers that represent your birthday. This time I'm using an old-school pentax camera :P

It just goes to show that you don't need flashy cameras and lenses to create an effective image!

No one was hurt in the process of publishing this journal entry.
