Kerrianne Fagan

2. To achieve black, you don't put any object and you let the photogram hit direct light.

3. To achieve gray. you use an object that lets little light go pass through it.

4. Because you can't see what you are designing in the dark room.

5. To test how much light is needed to make the image visible.

6. Because you are making a design using light.

Pinhole Camera Project

1. A darkened box with a convex lens or aperture for projecting the image of an external object onto a screen inside.
2. A pinhole camera is a can that isn't supposed to let any light in unless the aperture is exposed to light, creating an image.
3. They all have a shutter, aperture, and light tight.
4. The shutter and the aperture allow light to get in.
5. You put a piece of special paper in the pinhole camera and you bring it outside for ten seconds. Then when you go through the chemicals, if the paper is all white, no light got in, which is good. If it is mostly or all black, light got in which isn't good. To fix that, you can put tinfoil on the top of the camera.
6. Camera shake is when you are moving the camera, causing the image to be blurry. To prevent it, you can put it on something that is flat and stays still.
7. The developer bring the invisible image up.
8. The stop bath stops the image from coming up.
9. The fixer makes it so the light doesn't affect the picture.
10. You agitate the chemicals so the chemicals get all over the paper to bring the picture up and keep it smooth.
11. You prevent strips from sticking together by laying them in a tray by themselves, that way it doesn't touch anyone else's.
12. We wash prints to get all the chemicals off of the strip.
