The idea that my partner and me have agreed on for our Tech Fair project
is the pinhole cameras & tripods. The idea can be expanded on, and allows
us a little bit of freedom to use our creativity and innovation to modify the
models of the camera, as well as being a project that consists of two
mini-projects (the camera and the tripod), meaning that it is enough work to
serve two people while creating it. The idea can be tailored to suit our
community as well as places worldwide, considering that it is beneficial to the
environment – this allows us to link global contexts within our work, such as ‘Scientific and Technical Innovation’, seeing
as pinhole cameras are a new, original variation of a form of technology that
we already use today, as well as being an area yet to be more thouroughly
explored by technology in the modern world. Another global context would be ‘Globalisation and Sustainability’, an
idea that encompasses the eco-friendly, recyclable aspect of this project and how
it helps the world become a more sustainable place. An idea that we plan on
doing is to make two different models of cameras – one that is quite basic and
showcases the essential features of a pinhole camera and one that is a more
colourful, creative-looking pinhole camera to which we have added our
modifications, to show the development of pinhole cameras and to highlight the
improvements we have made to an already-existing model. Two of the templates
that we are considering using for the two cameras are: the Rubikon pinhole, made by the Hubero Kororo group – a model that is quite
minimalistic and has the hand-operated shutter of a traditional pinhole camera –
and the Peyote pinhole, made by the
Corbis Readymech group – an imagiantive, vibrant model that has more potential
to be improved on, and a template that looks much more developed than the Rubikon, in order to clearly display the
comparison between the two models.
