Lazzzor Cut Pinhole Test Image

I'm gonna make this post a short one as I've got loads of work I need to hand in tomorrow morning and I haven't done it yet!!!

Anyways, I made a design of a pinhole camera that could be laser cut for a college project and, after a few modifications, I cut it out. Several weeks later I actually got around to testing it, and here is the result.


I will upload the plans so that you can give it a go if you know where a laser cutter is and you have basic burglar skills. Oh, the camera looks like this...

Proper Pinholing

A couple of days ago at college, us photo/filmy people were introduced to pinhole photography. There were three cameras; a coffee can with a hand done hole, an ammo box with a pinhole and the ammo box we used with the "LAZZZOR PUNCHED" hole. Sure the coffee can gave interesting distortions, but the quality of the image the laser hole gave was amazing!!!

Being a pinhole, we were trying to play with scale. The above image of Bournemouth Uni was a bit of an accident. We wanted to be looking up at it, but it was very, very, very wide angle, so we got the fence (1' high) in shot and it looks quite interesting. That's a five minute exposure, and as an image: I love it!

This was an earlier attempt. At bit contrasty.
