Recommended: Literature review on a pinhole camera

Bradford Museum of Film and Photography

Our physics group went on a trip to the Bradford Museum of Film and

Photography to find out more about physics. We went to find out about

new ideas of physics and also to reinforce ideas we had already

covered in class. The areas of physics we were going to focus on was

the use of light and lenses and the way they are used in everyday

products.

At the museum we visited an area called The Magic Factory, which was

all to do with the ideas and applications of physics.

At the museum an exhibit, which interested me, was the pinhole camera

exhibit.

[IMAGE]

This is because it gave a very clear image of the clock tower in the

distance through a tiny little pinhole using a converging lens. There

was a few different options you could choose to test how a pinhole

camera works, there was the option to use a bigger hole which gave a

very blurred image of the clock tower and there was also an option to

use three pinholes at the same time which gave an image which showed

the clock tower overlapping each other three times. The small pinhole

however was the most successful to view a sharp image on the screen

the image is upside down due to the converging lens. In a pinhole

camera the smaller the hole is the sharper image however this has

limitations as the sharper the image the less light there will be and

the image wont be as bright.

A pinhole camera can also be used to create photographic images. If

light sensitive film is left in the camera and the camera left

focusing on one image then after a while a black and white image will

develop itself on to the film. This is therefore a very crude way of

taking a picture. It can also be used to take pictures of outer space

as it picks up the light and can show the placement of stars.

    The lighting is important because not only does it help you to see the details, it also prevents from any reflections occurring upon the artwork. As well, it makes you to be alert and focused I chose this particular artwork over the others because for me it was different from all other paintings I viewed in the museum.

  • The History Of The Film: Kodak And Fujifilm

    2134 Words  | 5 Pages

    Kodak and Fujifilm are two of the most historically recognizable and iconic names in the world of photography. Kodak was formed in the early 1880’s by George Eastman in Rochester, New York, under the name Eastman Dry Plate Company. Eastman had spent the previous few years of his life trying to improve on the way images were transmitted once taken on a camera. When Eastman first became interested in photography, the images that were taken on a camera were done so by using wet film plates. He spent the next couple years trying to develop film on dry plates, obtaining a few patents along the way, but it wasn’t until 1883 that he made a huge discovery. That year, Eastman developed film on rolls, instead of plates, and by 1885, he had developed the first transparent photographic film. The now famous Kodak name first became registered in 1888, and over the next few years Eastman continued developing new types of film, adding transparent movie film, and daylight loading film by 1892, when the company officially became Eastman Kodak Company. By the turn of the century, Kodak was becoming increasingly popular through their sales of portable cameras, mostly through the sales of their Brownie camera, and their ability to continually develop new types of film. When Eastman died in 1932, Kodak was arguably the most recognizable names in the photography and film industry. Kodak was initially able to build off the success that it achieved under Eastman, developing the 8 mm film and 16 mm film, giving the average consumer the ability to record home videos. In 1958, Kodak released the first automatic, color projector, the Kodak Cavalcade, and followed that with the more popular Carousel line of projectors.

  • Philadelphia Art Museum

    The exhibit that I viewed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art was one about European Art between the years 1100-1500. This was a series of paintings, sculptures, architecture, and tapestry of the Medieval and Early Renaissance as well as objects from the Middle East. This exhibit was an important part of the history of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because for the first time, Italian, Spanish, and Northern European paintings from the John G. Johnson collection were shown. It gave me a good idea of what the paintings were like in these four centuries and reflected ideas of both the east and the west.

    The purpose of paintings is to capture the image of something. Paintings have been around since prehistoric times and span all cultures. Paintings are seen as one image but can convey thousands of different meanings. Before photography, paintings were used to record important events. The Blanton Museum of Art is home to many different types of paintings. The paintings range from different landscapes in America to cowboys to Native Americans. There are five paintings in the Blanton Museum of Art that can convey an image and culture of the American Old West with vivid and detailed images of cowboys, Native Americans, and the landscape represented, which is an important aspect of American culture and the frontier spirit.

In the northeastern tip of Georgia there is a small town called Rabun County. I visited the Crawford Art Gallery in Clayton, Georgia.

  • The Lowe Art Museum

    The Lowe Art Museum is located right off of the main entrance to the University of Miami on Stanford Drive. The museum had several visitors walking throughout on the day I visited, but as one gets away from the main lobby, the building becomes almost silent. The only conversation heard are whispers and the movement of the security guard through the rooms about every two minutes. The absence of sound allows one to fully take in the beauty of the artwork. Walking around the different galleries, I came upon the “Sheldon and Myrna Palley Gallery” which is host to European art. Unlike the other rooms which are just separated by an entrance through the wall, this gallery is enclosed by glass doors, and has a different feel then the rest of the Lowe Art Museum. The rooms is relatively dark as the small lights on the ceiling are pointing only on the walls at the paintings. The walls are painted a dark magenta color adding to the lack of light in the room. Immediately after entering this gallery though, a distinct scent hit me. The smell is hard to describe, but it is one of old wood and dust, possibly from the frames and paintings that date back to the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries.

    To begin my adventure into our culture, I chose to visit the Ringling Museum in Sarasota. My grandmother took my mother and aunt to visit this museum when they were in high school, so it seemed fitting. Since I have never been to a real museum, I decided this would be an excellent first trip. Stemming from my research, I am anticipating multiple beautiful pieces of art from several different time periods due to the fact that John and Mable were serious art collectors. I am extremely excited to witness the Ringling mansion because, from what I have read, it is truly a piece of art within itself. Initially, I am feeling quite anxious because this is an all new experience and I truly cannot wait to experience this beautiful place.

    This opinion piece focuses on an issue that I have never really thought about before. After reading it, I talked about it with my friend Craig and asked him what his opinion was. He did not even think about it and said that museums should not be free. He said people should care enough to pay for the admission. However, I personally do not think it is that simple. Craig has never been to an art museum. I know for a fact that if the Gibbes Museum of Art was free, we would have gone there together long time ago, and we would go there more than once. We have never been there because, even though $7 per student is not much at all, we always find another way to spend $14 when we have it. Should art museums be free then, so that anyone can afford to go anytime they want to?
