pocket sized pinhole
« on: May 14, 2019, 02:58:03 PM »
here's a photo of a tiny pinhole camera I made from an Indestructo pocket pill container.
It's 1.5 x 1.5 inches.
The photo was made at the Albuquerque Railyards with a paper negative dunked in caffenol.

I must admit that it's a really cute little box.
Makes me think of my smarties container pinhole. I need to take this one out some day :)

Cool little camera, Becky! I like the field of view. It must be a lot of fun to take this camera with you and to know that it's reserved for that one shot of a special scene. I really can see the appeal of the camera.

It does make you think more. This was the very first shot out of it, so I'm pretty happy with the field of view and the future it has.
thanks!

Cool!

There used to be a guy who sold his pinhole pictures o the street in NYC, who made them with cameras he made out of plastic film canisters. And I seem to recall someone who used to make them out of Altoid tins and called the pictures 'Pintoids'. I think they sold those pintoid cameras as well.
