Pinheads: Let's see your shots.

I'd love to see what y'all are doing with your Pinhole cameras. Please let us know about your camera, film and developer. Thanx!

Very nice. In pinhole photography, the act of shooting with a homemade or minimal camera is often more important than the resultant image. This is a well conceived and executed photograph, not just another pinhole shot.

Captured on 8x10 film wrapped around the sides of a Pringles potato chip can with a pinhole in the end. Exposure was varied from 10 to 200 seconds by sliding a sleeve up the can during exposure.

Very cool. I gotta try this. I just bought one!

This was taken with an old Kodak 3A Autographic folding camera that I converted to 6x7 and took the lens out and replaced it with a pinhole.

Cool. Ken. Is that an old combine?

Also, do you kids use the lowest ISO film you can since you don't have to worry about shutter contraints?

Are there some details for this camera? I'd like to see it and make one for myself.

FANTASTIC you've made what's known in the trade as an "anamorphic" pinhole camera :-)

I've made a couple of pihole cameras to get this effect on roll film but you can also buy such a camera ready made called an "omniscope"from Abelson Scope Works.

my question is:
how much cropping did you have to do to get this final image? The Pringles tubes I'm familiar with are pretty long and skinny and I can't see that you'd be getting good exposure all the way along due to light fall off...
