The Camera Obscura was opened at the weekend and, coincidentally, our walk today was around the Loop so we called in to have a look.
The view of the Camera obscura from the bridge.
You walk in to a spiral and there is a hand rail as it is pitch black. When your eyes become accustomed to the dark you can see the inverted picture which is a view of the Bascule Bridge
and here is the "photo" turned right way up.
What an interesting building. I've heard of the Camera Obscura, of course, but apart from the pinhole cameras we made from shoe-boxes during science lessons, I've never seen one.
ReplyDeleteThe picture quality was better than I imagined. We will go back for another look. Apparently, it differs with the weather.
DeleteA beautiful building too
ReplyDeleteYes, the front is really special.
DeleteA very interesting visit, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteIt was - something new.
DeleteThe building and it’s eye entrance are lovely. You do take such interesting walks.
ReplyDeleteThis is on an old walk - around the Town Basin and is a new installation.
DeleteI really like that artwork at the entrance, it's very eye catching.
