Between now and April 26th, I’ll be talking about pinhole cameras, pinholes, zone plates, and many other topics around pinhole photography.……Each year of the event I create a poster that you can download and post so that others can know about the event.

120 film is a roll-film that has a paper backing to protect the actual film. The film is wound tightly onto a spool that is designed to protect the film from direct exposure to light. To use this film, we will also need an empty take-up spool.

A Skink Pinhole Pancake is a great way to create beautiful soft and dreamlike imagery with either a digital or a film camera.

One of the beauties of the pinhole is that the shape of the container used transforms the images produced.………Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is April 27, 2014

Now that we have a pinhole, we can install the shutter. In the last post, we created a sandwich from the pinhole brass and the black construction paper. By now, it should be plenty dry.

This is the fifth of a number of posts that will be devoted to the construction and the use of my 120 Matchbox Pinhole Camera.

Personally, I find the HOLE idea, (excuse the pun) absolutely amazing. Pinhole is magical in that it requires no sensor, no mechanical parts and no lens. While it is possible to use a pinhole in place of a lens on a digital camera to take pinhole images, a tiny hole in a simple box with a piece of light sensitive material inside is far more impressive.
