Her dress flutters

Posted by Rabbit (Richmond, United States) on 6 June 2008 in People & Portrait.

This pinhole photo was taken with my little ceramic camera titled: Little Wings. It was exposed for 55 seconds. I think i sat down for only 30 seconds of the photo however my dress still exposed as if i had been sitting there the whole time. I figured later it was because my dress was white and white reflects more light - sorta the same concept when shooting a picture of sand or snow how it needs less exposure time or smaller apature because it is so much brighter. This was also about the same time I was trying to figure out how long to sit in a photo to get a good ghostly image. I have come to the conclusion that it is about 1/3 of the exposure time.


So far today it has started off nice however it was 6:30 when i went for a jog, I can only assume that the day will get warmer. Today Its back to the art building, I know I should just set up a cot and sleep there. Its just a little easier to do alot of my work there. I suppose I could get a large sized board and streach a piece of canvas over it so that i could continue to handbuild these quarky little stylized pinhole cameras at home. I've become so obsessed with making them. I suppose this is a good thing though.

I just looked about my place and realize I need to water the plants.


Getting the pitcher of water,
