Thoughts on the Camera Obscura presentation by Ethan Jackson

I thought that was very interesting would i walked in that small room and saw live images of outside being shown on a wall upside down. When I saw this I felt like maybe i would like to do something like this. It is not that expensive to do that either. All he did was cut a hole in a box big enough for the lens that would show outside and project the live images on the wall. I kind of like that it was an overcast day because the sun peaking through the clouds was a beatiful image. It would have been nice if there would of been more activity outside to make the obscura feel more lively. When he showed us that film during his presentation it showed me that these camera obscuras being projected on a wall gives you three a four different types of things you may be seeing when looking at each side of the wall that it is being seen on. Camera obscuras make you see things in a few different ways and thats what i liked about seeing examples of the obscuras on video. I would of like to known how doing a camera obscura would like at night but he had no examples. It was nice learning how easy it can be to do one and how much time it would take to set one up. I really enjoyed the visit and the camera obscuras were interesting to see because not everything is shown to you live like that was.
