response to camera obscura





I thought it was very interesting to see. In my high school photo class we had to make pinhole cameras but it was not as large of a scale as this. At first it was difficult to see what was going on, my eyes took a very long time to adjust to the low level of light as well as trying to focus on the image that is being projected. I don't think I was able to see the image clearly on the wall but we decided to put up the card again and we were able to see it clearly. I forgot for a moment that the image through the pinhole is shown upside down which was disorienting at first, but once I realized the image was flipped I was able to see clearly that what I was looking at was the courtyard.
