pinhole camera

I make a pinhole camera, and show off some of the results.

beware! this causes a lot of dust to build up on your sensor, and this costs $60, unless you do it yourself, which voids the warranty, so be effing careful!

do you recon it work placing a piece of thin glass in front of the hole to prevent a dusty sensor?

[theheadlessrabbit]

I imagine that would work quite nicely for blocking dust.

pretty brave to try this out for the first time, cool! if you are only going to use a pin hole why would you need to hollow out such a big hole in yr body cap?

interseting though

thanks!

i carved a large hole because my next experiment was a DIY tilt shift lens. it didn't work out too well, so there is no video.

Yeah I'm shopping around for something better than my 18-55mm

Photography makes it so easy to spend lots of money on things you don't really need.

its a good thing lenses hold onto their value for a very long time, unlike DSLR bodies which drop off the day a newer model is released.

a good telephoto would complement a 18-55 quite nicely.

yes

basicaly its "camera obscura" protoplasta of any other cameras, you can use it with anything ;)

[michahrrym]
