DIY Pinhole Camera

Jump to Comments

OK, so I thought this was pretty darn neat.  This man (a professional photographer that specializes in film) made a video on how to create your own pinhole camera.  I thought this was pretty relevant, especially since we just talked about the first permanent photograph, taken with a pinhole camera.  Given this is a tad bit smaller than the one Niepce used, and also uses modern-day film as opposed to a huge silver plate.  But still I think it’s awesome and I can’t wait to try it out myself!
