Black Out Curtain
Setting up the blackout curtain experiment was more time
consuming than actually taking the photographs. Using black PVC rubble bags and
joined together with duct tape I attached them to our French doors and windows
to ensure no sunlight was entering the room. I can only image what our
inquisitive neighbours thought was happening. Once attached to the frames I
made a small hole into the curtain to allow the sun to shine through.
The first photographs were too dark with only the coffee
table casting a shadow on the floor. I then sealed the hole with duct tape and
made another hole in a new position. The sun with passing clouds could be seen
as an image on the carpet and more photographs were taken. Unfortunately there
was no other scenery from the garden as our garden archway in front of the
French doors was blown over and damaged by the high winds.
During the experiment I changed the camera setting adjusting
the ISO settings and aperture time and this resulted in different photograph
brightness. When I repeat this experiment I will reduce the size of the hole to
see whether the resulting image is clearer.
The only negative point of the experiment was the heat
within the room caused by blocking the windows with black PVC rubble bags.
