My First Pinhole

[dylder]

I've been wanting to build a pinhole camera for a while now. It was cold this weekend so I used that as an excuse to stay in and build it.

About 90 mm with an f160 pinhole. Tiger Maple, finish is amber shellac with laquer topcoat.

Here are a couple pictures of the camera and a photo of my house ... My first pinhole picture. Arista.edu 200 / rodinal 1:25 printed on Arista.edu RC.

Congratulations! Pinholes are a lot of fun. I made a camera pretty similar to yours. 90mm is an excellent focal length for 4X5 pinhole cams, I think. I like to puzzle my friends with pinhole cameras. They just can't get over the idea of it being capable of making a picture. Enjoy!

Nice work and nice photo !! Yours is very similar to mine and from your photo, it seems it works very well.

Nice camera and wood! What kind of wood you had been using there?

Very cool!
I wonder what you can build if you had to stay home for a week!
