Fun stuff!
Pinhole Cameras
In 7th grade I took a photography class and we did the shoebox pinhole cameras. They were a lot of fun to build and develop the pictures, and it wasn't too hard at all. Developing the pictures was my favorite part, and I think it is sad that over time it will probably become a thing of the past due to digital photography.
DIY safelight
Did you see Janne's DIY safelight? its on the second page of the second camera. I am not interested in ever going into a darkroom again but I think it is a great project for someone who needs it.
re: DIY safelight
yup, it is pretty cool, isn't it?
I am glad I don't have to go in a dark room ever again (unless I want to :)
Pin Hole Camera
Our camera club worked with the university's photography professor for a pinhole camera seminar. We used pinhole boxes that he had put together including oatmeal containers.
I liked the project so I went home and drilled a one inch hole in a canon body cap. Then I taped a piece of black construction paper over it to punch the pinhole.
I understand that the farther the hole is from the film or camera sensor - the longer the focal length. Though I had trouble with the body cap, it's as close to the sensor as one can get. I would think that with a pin prick hole - tiny aperture that there should be more of the image in focus. I couldn't figure out at what distance my camera would focus. Regardless of what scene I photographed, everything seemed soft.
I really don't expect tack sharpness, but I did think there'd be a different outcome.
