Man, this was super cool to watch. There were parts where I was excited, with my heart thumping just to see the result!! This is wicked - love the end result. It'll take a few more weeks in quarantine for me to go through the effort though.. well done

dang somehow it's even a nicely composed photo haha. I've been assigned to make a camera obscura for my photo class and this has got me excited :))

Es lo mejor que vi en mi vida

Thank you so much for this. I will be using it as a home school project. Thanks again!

This brought back the passion for photography to me. Thank you so much for reminding me how fun and exciting photography can be. Also, great tutorial, please make more. Thank you!! :)

Amazing Video! I was hooked! You made it seem so accessible, can't wait to try it

Thanks Brendan, this was super cool to watch, will defiantly be doing it at some point!

Wow, such a great video!! I am using it with my middle school photography classes. The negative to positive part really helped make sense of the whole photographic process.

You can also buy two uncut lenses for glasses, fi=5cm. Put them in a tube. In the middle you can install iris made of black paper. Inside paint black. Best results as far as image field is concern, and quality.Very cheap.

This is fantastic! Such useful information, thank you so much!

Very interesting, thanks for posting !

well done! really enjoy watching your videos and your making photos! amazing work :)

How awesome! Thanks for doing this video. Your final photo looks like it needs that girl from the movie "The Ring" standing in the window across the street!

brilliant video, thanks brendan.

What an excellent and fun tutorial! Thank you very much for sharing this!

Ahahaha you have a harsh critic over there! :D I loved the photo and this whole process, and I'd love seeing more videos like this, please! :) It wasn't "rambly", it was really fun, informative and educational. Thank you for sharing!

So simple, jet cool ideas and astonishing sharp the tree - at least in the video.-)The simple inverting from negative to positive was something what I haven't been shown in school back in the 80s :-)

Wow, this is amazing

So cool! Thanks for sharing!

It was great fun indeed !!

This is so cool! Thank you!

trippy reflections mmmmm interesting but let's go back to experiment! haha pleasure to watch I'm gonna try this!

Awesome video it took me way back into time when I used to have a bathroom darkroom and actually accidentally had a camera obscura on my first home studio. I will try this at home soon and will let you know the results. Great way to teach the basics of photography to this new generation of digital photographers. Cheers!!!

I'm impressed

Thanks a lot! you make it simple to understand.

Great stuff. Tip for bathroom tiles grout. Neat cheap tesco clear bleach put in a hand trigger spray bottle. Spray leave over night sluice down!

Great video

Pretty cool, thanks.

Thank you great video

Wow, nice Video! Very useful and chill to watch :-)

Hi Brendan that was an excellent demonstration. When you were trying the different lenses I was thinking about how would it be to try the Abelardo Morell approach to correct the up side down orientation of the image. I guess he uses a prism of some sort. I hope you could unveil some information about that strategy. Thanks for sharing this very useful ideas.

Amazing

interesting, thanks!

Thanks for this! Been keeping me busy during the quarantine in NY. Quick question about the contact print, does it help sharpness to expose for longer to the iPhone light? I was able to get a decent result by using the my light table and quickly flashing the negative/photo paper, but there is a noticeable drop in sharpness. Also, I'm assuming having the Negative print wet is a crucial step?

Miss you buddy ❤️❤️

Love your work. Now to incorporate a periscope to see over the neighbours house out to the bay. How could you invert the image for an actual room view of the ocean?

wow

UPDT.👍

How do You get a sharp picture appear on the opposite wall in the room? So that some people could be included in the photo, sitting or standing there.

May i ask what magnifying lens didi you use...cuz i might do this project 😅

Brendan, I want to turn a room in my high school into a camera obscura, for a project in my photography class. I've already blacked out the windows in the room, and I've been successful at making the room a pinhole camera, but I want my students to be able to see what's projected inside more clearly. I've used a magnifying glass lens that is 3 inches in diameter, but the screen the image is projected on has to be within 6-8 inches of the lens in order for it to to be focused. The large magnifying glass lens you ended up using for your photos seemed to have a great focal length. I want a greater focal length, as well. What is the diameter of that magnifying glass? If I can find one with that diameter, I feel our class project will be more successful and engaging. Thanks, in advance!

I've got smart LED bulbs in my room, would it be okay if I just set them to red to illuminate my dark room?

A little nitpicking, but finding cardboard pieces big enough to cover a window is anything but easy. I tried to find some a couple of years ago (but not for making a camera obscura), and asked in so many stores that couldn't give it to me that I finally gave up.

Un poco de todo 😂😂

UPDT

like si venís por un poco de todo

You are super cute and Sweet… thank you for your video !

JD

Couldn't you just flip the camera lenses round to get bigger images?

We see a murder in the house in front ! (joke)

Lol, at 10.15mins 'darkroom is dark'...No light leaks like a sieve. Peace

Can you do this with color chromogenic paper? @brendanbarryphoto
