Our very own Camera Obscura

Our front garden as seen through a small hole and projected onto the ceiling . 

After hearing about all this camera obscura babble, I decided that I would kidnap my sister's room and make our own - turn her room into a pinhole photo camera.

It was well worth the effort.

It took seven black binbags and almost half a roll of duct tape, but our goal was achieved. Our front garden was successfully projected onto the ceiling. Huzzah! All six members of our family took turns leaving to dance about in our driveway - our neighbors must have thought we were bonkers, but what can you do - while the rest of us laid on the carpet just being plain baffled. We all knew what to expect, but it's just one of those things that will always be nifty, regardless. And it was. It was incredibly nifty. It was an awfully sad thing to have to take the binbags down in the end. *sigh*

Anyway, the point of this is, not only am I going to get extra credit in photo, but I got to spend an absolutely magical hour just staring at my driveway. It was fantastic. Everyone should do this. Because it's great.
