The hole in the fence

This is just your basic photo right? Well yeah it is lol. You were waiting for the catch but there is only a slight one. I made a camera out of a shoe box, just with a piece of aluminum and a pin to poke a hole with using my finger as the shutter. Spray painted the inside black just to make sure it was light tight and went outside and just took a picture of the fence. Exposure time was about 45 seconds, so you can't take moving pictures. It does make for an interesting effect though. I did obviously do a tiny bit of post photoshop, just threw a color balance on it just to give it some interesting color. Also the border, and that's it. I'm writing up full instructions on how to make one, development of the picture, and turning the negative into a print. If you'd like a set of these instructions, let me know and I'll be more than happy to send on a copy; since Keiphus has already asked.

Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

cool! you should make a tutorial on how to make one of those cameras... :D

I'd love the instructions on how to make one!

Call me Kat, or Kathy Corkat

I've always thought the pinhole photography was cool. Certainly doesn't produce high quality shots, but it can be kind of cool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd definately be interested in the instructions :).

Quite easy to do but really effective. I used to love old skool photography and used to spend hours in a darkroom getting the right effects hehe.

Hehe, home-made camera. It's very unique; I have to give you that :) .

I'd love instructions to make one! The flag on the green behind my house (golf course) would be a perfect candidate for a shot. Nice job, very cool pic.
