Pinhole Portrait

This photo was very difficult to take! I decided to make a funny face and after 20 seconds I regretted it... This was taken using a old coffee tin can with a small hole drilled in the front. When the tape is removed it allows light to fill the can and expose the photo paper with the image. This project was assigned to teach us how light captures our image onto the photo paper. the reason it is blurry is because no matter how hard you try and stay still, you still have to breath. Its impossible to stay perfectly still but for that reason we speed up our shutter speed so we can capture that exact moment.
