Make your best estimated exposures utilizing the 3 Soda Cameras you have. Remember that we hypothesized that in a well light room a 10 minute exposure would work well. Your paper ISO is 6 and your aperture is estimated to be f 128. Go forth!
Read the "Soul Vibrations" chapter from Marina Warner's Phantasmagoria. Remember to underline and look up words or phrases that you do not understand. Take notes and think thoughts! Then write 1 paragraph summarizing the chapter and 1 paragraph responding to the reading. As a class we agreed to a 7 sentence minimum per each paragraph- giving your response a 14 sentence MINIMUM.
Alright kids, I tested our hypothesis that 10 minutes would be a decent exposure time for our soda cameras. My results are below. Looks like we are in business so be sure to complete your homework before class this Halloween: make three exposures with the pinhole cameras you took home from class last Friday.

The camera has a long history that precedes the fixed image. The history of optics and the development of the camera will be researched throughout this unit. Cameras will be re-introduced and students will review exposure control. From there the students will move into finite exposure control as they take an in depth look at the physical limitations of a light sensitive material and begin to understand the volumetric nature of a material's latitude.
