pinhole photography

Pinhole photography uses a camera with a small hole around 0.2mm diameter rather than a lens.  Because this does not let much light through exposures are typically several seconds or minutes.  You can make your own pinhole with a piece of foil and a needle or buy a laser cut one.

This is a pinhole camera I made in 2020 during the first covid lock down.  Its made of scraps of softwood for the top and bottom and the baffles inside, plywood for the front and back, oak for the winding knobs and sliding shutter and brass for the spool holders.  It takes 120 film and produces 12 square images on a roll of film.
