About this Item

Did you know that you can make your own camera, and create unique images with it, for next to nothing? This complete guide to pinhole photography will allow you to do just that, with camera templates, step by step assembly instructions, practical advice on taking successful pictures and hundreds of inspirational images to encourage you. Pinhole cameras - modern descendants of the camera obscura - do not have a lens. Instead, light is directed through a tiny hole, and the resulting photographs have amazing qualities. Most pinhole photography uses film - which can be processed in the usual way - but the book also explains how to convert your digital camera for equally amazing results. The witty camera designs on the attached CD will suit all tastes, and clear advice on how to use your camera will quickly inspire you to create your own amazing pinhole photos.
