Pinhole Photography
July 30th, 2008 <ADMINNICENAME>
Ok, so Pinhole photography is basically photography with a tiny hole instead of a lens. Light passes through said tiny hole and hits the film, photographic paper or a CCD. This creates your image.
I teach a Pinhole photography class and our school has gone, for the most part, completely digital. This has caused me to revamp the class and make it all digital. I looked at purchasing premade Pinhole body caps for students to use on their Digital SLR’s. These things cost anywhere between 35 to 60 dollars! This was crazy, in my opinion. So I looked up body caps on the B and H Photo website.

$3.95 - Yes four bucks, plus shipping. So let’s say 10 dollars.
Then what we did was drill a hole in them and then we countersunk the hole. Add a small piece of tin and a needle to make the hole. Finish it off bye taping the tin to the back of the body cap and you have a Pinhole body cap for less then 15 bucks!
Yes, this assumes that you have or have access to a drill and drill bits.
Once you’ve done this, just put the cap on your camera body and set it to M mode. Your meter will not work on most cameras, so pick a shutter speed and take a photo. Then adjust the exposure based on your histogram. A good strating point is: ISO 1600 and a shutter speed of 4 seconds inside and maybe 1/15th of a second outside. You might want to turn off the noise reduction feature on your camera, to speed things up.
Go out and have some fun!
