So I re-made the Camera Obscura in my room this week and attempted to take pictures of it with various different things, such as my webcam and my phone, but neither worked. I even downloaded some software that allowed me to change my webcam settings, but to no avail!
I had a look at some other obscura's to see what inspiration i could get from the internet and found a few things:

Check out the other Obscura Images in this set, they're stunning!

Again another fantastic set of images! This one i noticed was a 12 hour exposure, and i had previously only tried some 30 second exposures. So i tried some longer ones, only being a couple of minutes long.
And how I could i look at camera obscuras without looking at the work of Abelardo Morell...
So, finally for this weeks entry, here is my work! What d'ya think of it? I love the colours of it, infact might have a tweak in photoshop when i get a chance. Unfortunately i couldn't focus the obscura enough to get a pin point sharp image, but the camera was fully focused, so that's whats letting it down for me. But anyway...Enjoy!
