Home Made Pinhole Camera<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Some of the earliest cameras were pinhole cameras<\/a>. The mechanics magazines of the 1950s\u00a0periodically gave plans for making your own pinhole camera<\/a>. The challenge was the creation of a pinhole the right diameter and perfectly round.<\/p>\n

Often the magazine articles suggested a suitable darning needle and a sturdy foil. The hole was carefully centred on one side of the light tight container and the sensitive medium – film or photographic paper – was placed across from it in the container.<\/p>\n

The choice of container size and, shape, plus the\u00a0sensitive material size determined whether the camera image was\u00a0a panorama, normal, wide angle, telephoto, etc. At one time I even had a small book on pinhole cameras called The Hole Thing<\/em><\/a>. Today, as my friend George Dunbar recently mentioned, we have an annual pinhole camera day each April. The results of the pinhole event are posted on line to celebrate the world pinhole day<\/a>. \u00a0This year, the day was April 26th and the results are now posted. Toronto had two images<\/a>, one by Larry Reid and a second by Freddy Lum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
