Wedding photography is the photography of activities relating to weddings. It encompasses photographs of the couple before marriage (for announcements, portrait displays, or thank you cards) as well as coverage of the wedding and reception (sometimes referred to as the wedding breakfast in non-US countries). It is a major commercial endeavor that supports the bulk of the efforts for many photography studios or independent photographers.

Genre - Frans Lanting.

Nature photography refers to a wide range of photography taken outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements such as landscapeswildlifeplants, and close-ups of natural scenes and textures. Nature photography tends to put a stronger emphasis on the aesthetic value of the photo than other photography genres, such as photojournalism and documentary photography

Evaluation on Pinhole Camera's.


Creating my own pinhole camera and taking pictures with it I have learnt a lot. Before we started this project I wasn’t even sure what a pinhole camera was, or how it worked, now I’m beginning to understand both. I now know how to make my very own pinhole camera from scratch. The box I made worked very well though as it was completely light proof and luckily I didn’t have to fiddle around with it to get it to work.  
I have learnt lots of new things whilst making my pinhole camera and taking pictures, I learnt how to make the camera itself, how to take the pictures and how to develop them myself, and also how to scan them onto the computer ready for editing. If I was to make another pinhole camera I would know how to improve it.

Focal Length

Distance from pinhole to paper (mm)
Diameter of pinhole

F-stop = 72
               0.8
F stop = f90

We then use the combination of f stop film speed,  to calcuate the speed.

A camera is a device that records images, either as a still image or a moving one. The modern camera evolved from the camera obscura, Obscura comes from the latin word 'Dark chamber'.

In optics, an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels . In Photography this can be measured in increments called F-stops.

Lens the camera captures the light from the subject and brings it to a focus on the film or a detector.
