Pinhole Photography continued.

For our second Pinhole workshop we were told to construct an image around a narrative e.g. a book, film or a song. Our first idea was Snow white. This would have been a good idea as we could have all taken part, but then realised there wouldn't been enough of us for the seven dwarfs. So our idea changed to Alice in Wonderland. I thought this was a good narrative to try and represent as it is a well known story and there are lots of things that would make it easy to represent, for example:

• The White Rabbit
• Alice
• Playing cards/the queen of hearts
• Cheshire Cat
• Mad Hatter's tea party/tea cups

These were some of the things that we would use in our photo of Alice in Wonderland. Our shoot was more influenced by the recent film remake.

I was pleased with the outcome we achieved from only one photo. The weather was changeable so it was luck to get it right at the right time. 

In the end we only chose to have 3 people in the shot as we didn't want to overcomplicate the shot, sometimes simple is better. 

After we had set up the light was quite bright so it needed a shorter exposure than we originally thought. 

1 minute 40 second exposure.

The photo above shows our final image as a negative.
