How does one go about making a pin-hole camera?

[lasershot]

I recently had learned about the "pinhole" camera and got sort of interested on them knowing that most people make there own.

Can someone refer me to a good place to learn about these???

I use http://mrpinhole.com for me tech info. I design my own conversions but you can google pinhole and get all kinds of design info. It really pretty easy to convert a regular cheapo camera to pinhole.

There are loads of website that will show you how to make a pinhole camera (just google 'making a pinhole camera'). Here are a few links:

But there are many more. Basically, what you need is a light tight container, a pinhole and light sensitive material (paper or film). To calculate the ideal size of the pinhole and exposure times, click here. For inspiration and suggestion for homemade pinhole cameras have a look at www.f295.com.
