This is the second of a number of posts that will be devoted to the construction and the use of such a camera.

Most of you probably throw these things away. Found in nearly every coffee joint, they can be useful right when you need them. I keep a few of them in my camera bag just in case.

It may be hard for some to imagine that there was a time when snapshot images were produced in the round.

The only thing I knew at that point was that that a large size matchbox has the same height dimension as a roll of 120 film. I also realized that 120 film which does not have a cassette, would require a much more robust system to make it function in this setup.

Both Pinhole and Zone Plate produce a unique softness that transforms nicely into a digitally ‘painted’ image.

Since Lytro’s introduction, there have been a few other implementations including its latest ability to produce stereo 3D imagery.

HDR used incorrectly can produce some terrible photography. However, in my opinion, when it is used well, the images it can produce are pretty amazing.

WPPD is a great event for anyone interested in photography. It gets us all back into the basics of light and image capture. It also allows us to realize the interest in a simple technique that captures thousands across the globe.
