Pinhole Camera

I used to play around with these a lot, and still have a few I built out in the garage. Anyone else?

Here's a cool link if you want to make your own:

Here are a few of mine using a 20D and a pinhole through a piece of aluminum foil.

Most people cut out a hole the size of a dime in the camera body cover, and tape a piece of brass or similar metal over the hole after they poke a hole in it, but instead of ruining a body cover, I just took a piece of aluminum, some non-residue sticky tack, and after putting the TINIEST hold i could using a needle in the middle of the aluminum, I smoothed the hole out as much as I could with the backside of my fingertip, then I place the aluminum over the camera body opening, keeping the hold nearest the center of the opening. After that, I put the camera in M mode and dialed in the ISO and shutter speed to get a good exposure. I was at ISO 3200 and a shutter of 5 seconds for most of these shots, because I didn't feel like sitting there for 30 second exposures. :P

Awesome. Thanks for the info! I want to give this a try myself. I love the look of it and I used have so much fun playing with pinhole cameras (I used to teach photography in a high school and this was a favorite project), but I didn't know how to "digitize" it.

Haven't ever gotten around to playing with it, though.
