Pinhole Camera










This semester I am taking a photography class. Last week we were asked to experiment with sense and the lens of our cameras so I decided to eliminate the lens altogether and make a pinhole camera. I used this tutorial and am so happy with the way these turned out. It is a pretty straight forward process and I would recommend this project for kids around 8 and up.

I am going to take more this week, hopefully they are as good as these ones! Oh and I won't be updating the blog much until June, but I'll keep up with the portrait series of course, so stay tuned for some tutorials and paintings and sewings in a month or so!

  1. From my limited 12th grade science experience with a pinhole camera, I know that these are GREAT pictures. It's so tricky with the long exposure period. Great work!!

  2. I love the 2nd last picture Ruby! It has such an old look and feel to it... Even the slant you've taken it at is fantastic. I really need to learn how to use my camera properly.

  3. Love these images, I'm so enamored with the pin-hole. My husband works with them a lot and makes his own and converts old cameras- they're my favorite of his photographs. It's always like a magic trick to me!
