It is Spring at CDS Middle School and that means... Pinhole Photography!
What is Pinhole Photography?
The Pinhole Camera is a simple camera without a lens and with a single small aperture — a pinhole (a pin-sized hole in the side of the camera). It uses a light-proof box and a manually operated shutter door. Students can make them out of just about anything, but we generally use the large oatmeal containers to make our own pinhole cameras. (Bonus: the oats make pretty good cookies!)
The one below was built by Henry Chandler in the spring of 2013.
The objective of this project is to learn the photography process using a pinhole camera, be responsible with darkroom privileges, take care of equipment and chemicals, and produce at least 6 excellent A-range photos, or 3 excellent photos at home, or 1 excellent photo on Worldwide Pinhole Day.
