Show us your home made camera...

Wow,that's an amazing set of photos! I like how it renders people, and wish they didn't go by so fast in the video. I imagine I'm not alone in wanting to know the tech specs i.e. lens used, f-stop, kind of paper, developer and so on. I also liked how you made a functional camera out of easily made materials and didn't insist it had to be more complicated/pretty than it needed to be.

Thanks. Was hoping this might be something of interest for this community.

Viewed cross eyed from a distance may help to experience some 3-D stereo effect (the camera was made with wood from an old garden table in our street put aside as waste):

Very nice work!

Did you make the traditional tripods also?

I have a few of them, soon to be used on NOS 45 Pinhole boxes

Thanks ... the tripod in the picture came with one of the bought Tropicas to my home, but for now it is a nice match to this camera -
I just started to collect some wood to make a more period matching one like this:



mostly made from oak..
