Pinhole video
« on: February 14, 2015, 05:33:33 PM »
Last year, at some point, someone posted a link to a very good video as to how pinhole camera's work... it was certainly American. I remember it featuring a neat trick whereby you make a tiny hole with your forefinger and thumb to replicate a pinhole. I'd be grateful I anyone can point me in the right direction?? I have been searching and searching but to no avail!

I can't help you out but I remember that video and I remember the bit about making a tiny hole to replicate a pinhole. I use that example all the time when I am trying to explain to noobs how lenses work and the concept of aperture work.

In fact, because of that video I have one more ridiculous thing I do in public. If I have left home without my reading glasses and can't read some fine print I use that technique to let me read what would otherwise be a blur! I think it is cool, but the rest of my family think i am nuts.

I am wondering if it was on here?

Thanks for the reply Don. In actual fact I too have to give a talk to some noobs and there were some things explained on the video that would be perfect for them. Will keep looking.

Cheers, Paul

An excellent video but not this one I'm afraid Volker.

You could do a Google search like "site:filmwasters.com pinhole video" which will bring up all posts that mention a pinhole video or, if you know it was on YouTube, then "site:filmwasters.com YouTube pinhole".

Might help.
