Pinhole camera-school

This image was taken with a pinhole camera.  I took this after students came back from lunch.  You can see the litter that was left behind by the students.

The images are of my sister.  I had her open a door and look up at the sky.  I like this photo because she appears to be staring up at something that makes her curious.

Woodwinds


When I took this picture, I set a sax clarinet and flute on the ground.  I then took a second clarinet and placed it on a stand.  The instruments were set next to a window so I could get a dim natural light on them.  I like how the instruments reflect the light and look "shinny."

Clarinet


This photo was taken by a window during the afternoon.  I placed my clarinet over a few sheets of music that I've performed.  I positioned it so that the clarinet cast a slight shadow over one of the pieces.  I also like how the nickle keys reflect some of the music.  The pieces the clarinet is on are: "Alleluja" from the "Exultate Jubulate" by Mozart, "The Magic Flute" also by Mozart, and the third I don't remember what it was.

 This is a portrait of a girl outside.  I was talking to her and she looked up and smiled at me and I then took the picture.  I chose to make the background out of focus so she would stand out more.
This is the original image before I edited it in print shop.

Pinhole Camera-Cellos

 This picture was taken with a pinhole camera.  This picture is of cellos in our schools band room.  I timed it just right so the right amount of light was on it.  The camera was set on a stand and i exposed it for about 2 minutes, then edited it so it wasn't negative.
This is the original image before  changed it in photo shop.  I set it on a stand and timed it for a little more than 2 minutes.

One Thing Alto Sax


I took this picture in the morning so it would produce less light.  The saxophone was held up on grass with a blanket underneath it.  The blanket provides a blank background.  I took the picture up close so the viewer can see the reflection of the dim sun on the shiny metal.  I edited the image to make the saxophone appear darker.  The top image is the photo edited in Photoshop.  The bottom image is the original photograph.
