1. Beer Can Pin Hole Camera


I took this photo on top of a flight of stairs the led up beside the Waverely building. I was looking around waiting for a tram to come and saw that I had a huge shadow with the sun behind me. Then I heard a tram coming so I turned back around and took the shot as soon as I could. It wasn't pointing where I thought it was because I caught some of the handrail too, but I like that bit

The camera:
A 440ml beer can with it's top cut off, replaced by a lid made of black card and black ductape is then punctured by a regular pin in the middle of the can for light to hit the photographic paper. A flap is also attached to the lid (the green thing) so all that you need to take a picture is to lift the flap

The negative:
This is the photographic paper once the flap on the lid has been lifted and it's exposed to the light.



Music: silence, too early in the morning
