What is a Photogram
A photogram is a photographic image made without using a camera. By placing objects on top of the light-sensitive paper then being exposed to the sun. The usual result is a negative shadow image that shows variations in tone that depends upon the transparency of the objects used.

My Sun-Print attempts

These are my attempts. The one on the left I think is the best one because its very clear and effective. The objects I used were fruit shaped elastic bands, buttons and my hand. Some of the objects are clearer than others because the were made of different matters and were different colours. To improve them I would of left them a longer in the sun to make sure the patterns show better.
