Amazing things happened this Saturday, May 1st on the RIT campus. It was Imagine RIT 2010, and students and faculty from all backgrounds presented the latest and greatest of their studies and interests. If one were to wander into the Kodak Quad they would be hard pressed to miss the big black box outside of building 7.
Photo House presented the Camera Obscura, also known as a pinhole camera. People were allowed inside of the camera, and after a few minutes to let their eyes adjust, they were amazed by the image projected onto the wall. There was no technology or magic behind it. A small hole in one wall, about 2mm in diameter created a picture projected at over 7 feet and upside-down on the opposite wall. Visitors left the exhibit both excited and in awe of how simple the basic principles behind a camera actually are!
Vincent DiCairano explains how a lens work to some curious visitors.
Jasmine Mosby, leader of Photo House's exhibit, talks about SLRs and lenses.
Many of our members worked hard to make this day a great success for Photo House. We look forward to improving our work for next year!
The Camera Obscura was a brilliant idea- nicely done!
