Picture I took today, and developed :) The top is the negitive, bottom is the positive. It's a flower, it might look like a tree, but it's a flower. A dandylion or something. Also, the scan made it look crappy but I was tolazy to care. And, the positive isn't great but I need to spend more time getting it to look right which I didn't have today. So, I used my new camera :D Any guesses as to what type the camera is? The negative is creepy, no?

A shoebox. Yup. I took that picture using an average shoebox. LOL it's called pinhole photography. Very fun. Only problem is you need a dark room to do it. I still can't believe I took a pic with a shoe box...

I took a photography class once and made shoebox cameras. They're really kinda nifty. You can also do some pretty funky stuff with pre-developed photo paper, a dark room, objects and a flashlight hehe

lol, you cut a hole out of the top. tape up the box.put tinfoil over the hole (with a pinhole poked in the top) put the photo paper in the box (in dark rook)

Oh yeah, and you make a little door for the shutter :)

Heinz: Yeah, we're gonna try a bunch of cool stuff..we wanna see if painting with lights will work with it :X
