    nice. pinhole at its simplest and best. How nice to have cooperative models too.
    Come back with more.

    Very interesting. I've always wanted to make a pinhole camera but have never done it. This inspires me to look into it a little more closely.

    Both fun, but you have a real winner in the top image - love how the camera's angle gave it the giant lip-shape.

    Very well done. Reminds me I need to build another 35mm matchbox pinhole and get back out there for some more lensless fun.

    Thank you. ChrisW

    Cool pinhole photo: What did you actually use for the "pinhole." That is, what kind of material is the pinhole in?

    Thank you all

    I actually used a thin piece of metal, sorry I'm not sure exactly what it was...
    Then I poked a hole in it with a thumbtack and attached it to the oatmeal box with black tape.

    Your method worked! My pinholes are all in thin metal. But they were supplied by a firm that specializes in the precise size for the focal length.

    Once I made a cardboard box pinhole camera with a tiny whole punched in the cardboard. I got a really funky round and ragged image -- something akin to the "birth of photography."

    Yup. That's actually a very common method for doing it with an SLR, film or digital. In fact I was going to go look for some K-Mount body caps tonight to try it.

    I just love these pinhole shots. Look at how wide, vignetted and distorted the images are! It's so surreal. I love it!
    Browse my photos on Flickr, if you like.

    Currently a Pentaxian. Favourite lens: 100mm f2.8 Macro. I now have all the lenses I need. On to lusting over lenses I want.
