Here is a great little project by Kevin Kadooka if you are starting out on photography and have good Arduino understanding, or if you are starting out on Arduino and have a solid understanding of photography :)

Single Leaf Shutter Controlled by Arduino

This solenoid based single leaf shutter is controlled by Arduino and can expose a sensor or film for anywhere between 1/125 to infinity at the press of a button. The exposure duration is controlled via a small potentiometer.

While this prototype which is housed in an Arduino Uno board is quite large, it can be shrunken down quite a bit using a Trinket or an Arduino Micro, which would make it perfect for pinhole cameras.

P.S. Kevin is the brains behind the wonderful DUO TLR which we featured way back.
