In total I have gathered together different types of styles and knowledge of the camera. Starting from the History of the Camera, which was very interesting to understand the progress and developments of the Camera throughout history till the present day.

Then practically exploring the camera, hands on experience helped to improve, my knowledge. Researching about ISO and White balance settings, and how different combinations which can deliver a different visual effect, expanded my knowledge.

The introduction to the darkroom, and understanding the process has enabled me with more practising to try and get the best results.

Tests & Research
-Photograms
-Pinhole Photography
-ISO & White Balance
-Internet
-Library

All of this research as you can see has complimented well.

Cons

The only disadvantage I have experienced is that I wish I had more time alone with the camera, even more time for testing to get better photo's.
Maybe in the future I need to invest in camera, for future tests, reference, experimenting and a more personal experience.

Also maybe I didn't have very long thought out, organised understanding  of what I would photograph, especially just around the College.

Above all!! I really understand fully how to use the camera and its setting's and techniques, ISO  & WB and how to play around to  see different ways to represent a different visual effect

A Pinhole Camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture,effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which is known as the camera obscura effect

Only The Picture displayed in the middle nearly reflected, not all but some of the image. The other two picture's at the left and right are still totally black, maybe because of too much  exposure time, or the pin hole was too small.

More of a portrait picture, Stamp using a low level lighting to highlight her face and feature's. The photo's subject is  more represented prominent because of this, and in Black & White which captures this well with a darker shadow around her face to frame.  I understood about Light and Shade!!

Claudia Jones
1915-1964
From Trinidad and Tobago, to the United States, to Britain, Claudia Jones stood firmly at the centre of every struggling society she entered, transforming even dark detention centres into active political arenas and causing colonial establishments to dread her influence. While Claudia’s name now surfaces in discussions about the founders of the Notting Hill Carnival, few have understood her legacy, and access to her speeches and television interviews remains limited.

A dedicated grassroots community leader active on both sides of the Atlantic, and a black woman no less, Claudia Jones captivated an audience of 14,000 in New York’s Madison Square Garden in the mid-1940s, an era which preceded the modern civil rights movement and followed women’s suffrage. In Britain, she set up one of the earliest black newspapers, the West Indian Gazette, and among her many campaigns, she organised the week-long hunger strike tent for the Free Mandela movement at St Martin in the Fields in the early 1960s.

What Claudia witnessed clearly paved her path. Her family emigrated from the then British colony of Trinidad following economic unrest and mass upsurges in the city of Port of Spain where unemployed workers’ councils were growing. There was a mounting consciousness particularly amid the Trinidadians through the Garvey Movement which, rightfully, was a cause of concern for European and American colonial powers. A few years after their arrival in Harlem, New York City, when Claudia was just 12 years old, her mother collapsed over a sewing machine in a factory, dying out of sheer exhaustion. As a teenager, she had to abandon further education and contracted tuberculosis due to poor living and working conditions, and this plagued her with ill health for the rest of her life. At the same time, she began to observe the systematic discrimination taking place around her, and was especially affected by the Scottsboro Boys trial of Alabama between 1931 and 1937 in which nine African-Americans were falsely accused of raping two white women. She also closely followed Italy’s invasion of Abyssinia (now Ethiopia and Eritrea) and its closer alignment with Nazi Germany.

Claudia sought a radical political force to combat the social issues being faced by black communities during the Depression: the least paid, least educated, highest mortality and most imprisoned. She found this in the Communist Party. During this period, the Communist Party in Harlem was carrying out strong work in the social sphere, stepping in to stop evictions by white landlords and leading high profile legal-political cases in relation to the incrimination of black men in the south. As such, Claudia Jones joined the youth league swiftly rising to become the “negro affairs” editor for the Daily Worker newspaper and a regular speaker addressing the issues of working-class women. Poet and activist Elean Thomas comments in a 1989 edition of Spare Rib magazine: “She did not seek to compartmentalise human beings or see social activities as merely another method of politicity – but as a natural human interest.”

The FBI spent more than ten years spying on Claudia Jones. She was arrested on a deportation warrant in 1948, and again, under the McCarran Act in 1950, charged with being a communist “alien” (non-US citizen). In a letter she addressed to her friend John, she describes activism within the confines of Ellis Island with a vivacious pride: “There are trade unionists and maritime industries, who smile their firm greetings of approval when, from shops and locals, wires or letters come, telling of actions taken on behalf of American liberty.” Moreover, she petitioned the United Nations with fellow detainees, asserting, “Our freedom of conscience [has been] violated and our right to think outlawed.”

This Orwellian feeling is reiterated in an extraordinary court speech in 1953 when she is accused, this time under the Smith Act, with the ludicrous charge of advocating the overthrow of the US government. She appeals to judge and jury:

“The thinking process, as your honour well knows, is a process that defies jailing. When it is all boiled down what shows is not the strength of the policies and practices of our prosecutors – which are akin to police state practices – but their desperate fear of the people. Nothing shows this more, your honour, than our exposure of the biased jury drawn from a system which virtually excludes Negro, Puerto Rican and manual workers. This virtual exclusion exists not because of a lack of qualifications or even financial hardship, but because of deliberate discrimination based on consciously cultivated white supremacist ruling class prejudice which sullies our boasted western culture.”

Eventually, in 1955, the courts ruled that Claudia needed to be deported under the McCarran Law. Her country of origin would not take her, petrified of the power she would have on the small island. So Britain had no choice but to accept her as a colonial subject. After 33 years in America, ejected by a superpower frightened by this one woman’s courage, she left for Britain penniless and alone.

Using any thing like a box, can, Pringle's. Anything that can keep out light and capture the light to reflect the Image.

A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light. The usual result is a negative shadow image that shows variations in tone that depends upon the transparency of the objects used.

This is the Original Photo, as you can see it was an overcast day, so i couldn't get the right balance of colours. Alot of shadow which didn't show the contrast of colours.  Very Normal..

# data[].attributes.body
As you can see this is a normal picture. The right ISO(200) and WB(cloudy)

# data[].attributes.body
I believe only due to increased ISO that this picture is Bright, kind of yellow.

# data[].attributes.body
White Balance Tryout, The ISO was 200, which was alright for this, but I changed the WB maybe to shade, which brought out this blue effect.

# data[].attributes.headline
The Theme was Warmth, so I tryed to get the image on fire......

At a High ISO and WB the picture colour and light is distorted.
Had to try diferent ISO an WB combinations to get this Image.

# data[].attributes.body
Using the right ISO and WB, trying to bring out the colours, light and shade. I also tweeked it with Paintshop to capture this. (before you can see the orginal photo).
