Topic: World Pinhole Day is April 29

Not that any of us really need an excuse to go out and waste some film    here's a fun way to get out and be creative.

I built a small oak pinhole box just for this year's event.

I'm planning on building a camera with my daughter this year.  Better be getting to it! 

Thanks for the reminder.

And it gives me an excuse to try out a camera I modded last year.

I had found an Ansco Viking Readyset folder at a rummage sale last year. I got it for a song since the shutter was rusted solid. After a fair bit of taking apart, grinding rust off, getting a tetanos shot  , welding and gluing, I managed to get something that looks pretty good.

Here are the specs:
film:120
format: 6x9 (8 frames per film... expensive)
focal length: 106mm
f/232
pinhole: 0.4572mm (the smallest drill mu dad had)
