What to expect: Learn how a pinhole camera is made Learn the history and science behind pinhole cameras Take some images of the bridge with photographic tecnhiques whose invention happened at the same time as the bridge was designed. Make a pinhole image of the bridge and watch it developing in the magic of a chemical darkroom Take a pinhole ‘awfulogramme’ for an extraordinary selfie!View the world through a wearable camera obscura â€" the Eyescura! Leave with a free solargraph camera to create a 6 month exposure of the sun crossing the sky. You will load and use a reusable pinhole camera made from sustainable materials to photograph our iconic bridge then dive into Justin’s unique and extraordinary ‘awfulogramme’ technique to capture the most amazing selfies. After watching your photographs develop before your eyes in Justin’s temporary darkroom you’ll be guided on how to invert the image using your mobile phone to reveal the stunning final results. Justin will finally equip each group attending with both a pinhole camera and instructions on creating a ‘solargraph’ â€" a photograph with a six-month-long exposure that traces the mesmerising sun’s journey across the sky. |
