For all you Canadians out there wanting to make a six month pinhole camera, gaffer tape is duct tape in our world :) thanks for the great videos Justin, loving this.

The only problem with using a metal can is that over 6 months you will find water condenses and collects in the bottom of the can. If your photopaper reaches to the bottom of the can it will get badly water stained. For this reason I prefer to use plastic rather than metal for the camera.

So don’t use gaffer tape across, so you use less gaffer tape. Three seconds later, because you’re obviously now obsessed with gaffer tape, you might as well just unnecessarily use another strip on top again…

that's duct tape. gaffer tape is fabric and matte finish, not glossy vinyl plastic.

Please explain. You put photosensitive paper in the can in full (not sun) light, you leave it out for 6 months....... what is the shutter for? Those few photons making it to the paper while you place it will not make any difference compared to what happens/happened will it? The idea however is awesome. Will do this.
@newforestobservatory93224 ай бұрын
Surprisingly yes. If you position the camera (and the Sun is out) with the shutter open you will get an out of place streak across the photopaper where the Sun has exposed it. How could I possibly know that? I've done it :) And you put the paper in the can in the dark, or under red light.

Fantastic training material. But I have attention. Photosensitive paper placed on the concave wall of the can causes distortion of the image. I suggest trying to put the photosensitive paper on a flat surface, on the opposite side of the hole. Use a shoe box as a "camera obscura", for example. It used to be negative film, now the transducers are flat.

I've done that - the images are far less impressive. Check out the New Forest Observatory for examples of both.

I’m hoping this isn’t a dumb question. I’m building a few of these now and assume that you take the shutter tape off once it’s installed and ready to capture an image?

Excellent project and tutorial! This was a fun video to watch, and it'll be fun to do with the kids. Developing the paper is the only reason we haven't done pinhole photography with them yet-I've never just left photo paper out, so I had no idea it would darken without chemicals! One thing I'd recommend (at least in the States) if you're planning to leave it in a public place, is to not attach it to park benches, play equipment, etc. Wouldn't want anyone to think it's a dangerous device someone placed (especially if it's partially hidden). Around here attaching it to a bench leg like that would result in a guest appearance by the bomb squad. I'm excited to browse through the other videos here! This one was super cool, thank you for sharing your design!

Back in the mid-50s when I attended YMCA summer camp, the science cabin guy showed us how do put paper in a glass and wood frame with leaves on top of the paper then expose it to the sun. Were they called SolarGraphs? I want to think he somehow permanently fixed the images but don't recall after over 60 years. Like you said, if someone developed the paper it would be black or if they used fixer, the image would go away. Is there a way to permanently process the images?
@AtlantaTerry5 жыл бұрын
Very nice. But I kinda winced when you were so casual about handling the paper in normal room light. I can just see someone doing that then ruining a whole pack of paper that could have been used for normal darkroom enlarging work.
