For this second journal, we worked in pairs, taking pictures with the pinhole cameras that we made. The first photo my partner Lauren and I took was of the street leading to our school. When we took this picture it was cloudy outside, so we used an exposure time of about 60 seconds. I think that our exposure time was alright because the image turned out ok however the left side of the image is a little dark meaning that it was slightly underexposed. The left side doesn't have as much detail as the right side of the image does either. One way to fix this would be to leave the shutter open longer which would allow more detail to be seen in the left side of the picture, however if we had left the shutter open longer, we might have overexposed the right side of the image. This photo is also a little blurry, which means that the camera most likely moved while we were taking the picture. In order to fix this we would just have to tape the pinhole camera to the ground better so that it doesn't move while the picture is being taken.
The second photo we took with our pinhole camera was supposed to be of the street behind our school, however as you can see it did not turn out. It was sunny outside so we decided to use an exposure time of 40 seconds. This photo turned out this way because of two possible reasons, either it was underexposed so we should have left the shutter open longer, or there was something blocking the hole which stopped the light from entering the camera. If we were to try and take this picture again with the same weather conditions I think we would leave the shutter open a little longer in order to allow enough light into the camera to produce an image. We would also check to make sure that nothing is blocking the entrance to the camera.
