this guy is amazing, you can't even tell it's pinhole - there's so little distortion

 

[valerique]

but then again, the fascination of it is the weird angles

thanks francesca for starting the thread!

 

[.francesca]

thank YOU! i LOVE the images in posts #21, 23 and 24...i really love the oddly focused bits around the edges..i think that's what makes them really distinguishable as pinholes.

thanks .francesca & everyone else who is posting pictures

I read an article about cameras, and they were talking about this pinhole camera:

http://www.calumetphoto.com/item/PY2001.html?ac.cat.CatTreeSearch.detail=y&type=SPDSEARCH


From the Chicago Tribune:

"THE ARTISTE Get intriguing mood shots with the Zero 135 Dual Format wooden pinhole camera - the world's first version of this camera that accepts 135 film for still photography. This burnished baby is also lightweight (6.5 ounces), compact and has a super-wide angle lens. $168, at Calumet Photo, Chicago, or calumetphoto.com"

pocodolce, a pinhole is a camera you can make out of pretty much anything. all you need is some unexposed film or paper, some sort of enclosed box or cylinder (like a coffee can), and patience

here are some links to DIY pinholes:

some of these are super detailed, but it's really easy to make this camera..and you're never sure of the results but that's 100% of the fun!

HAHAHAHA...

First test shot on a 4x5 pinhole I made out of an old ammunition box. I'm rather happy. Developed it in my house, 1.5 minute exposure, 1.5 minutes soaking in Kodak Dektol. The film was actually paper, Ilford MGIV. Can't wait to do more!

BTW, I think that website was eDay or something...
