Camera is a remarkable piece of innovation. However, it is the person
behind the camera that makes it truly remarkable. It’s his imagination,
passion, talent and knowledge of the medium. You don’t need a high-end
costly equipment to get beautiful results. Just your talent and a way of
looking at things differently along with ability to envision the final
result in your mind is more than enough for a great shot.
A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens and with a single small aperture — effectively a light-proof box with a small hole on one side. Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box. You can easily construct this camera yourself using things lying around like match boxes or any kind of boxes, paper, duct tape etc. The small amount of light passing through this pin sized hole produces image on a photographic film or a image sensor.
If you don’t want to get your hands dirty on creating a pinhole camera by yourself, you can use your DSLR with some modifications (replacing camera lenses with a pinhole cover). Although it takes practice and lot of trial and error method to get a perfect picture, you don’t need to worry about the focus and distortions, as there are no lenses involved. You might as well end up with some lovely motion blurred photographs.
In today’s weekend post we present beautiful and inspiring photographs created using a pinhole camera.
Please notice how photographers use the camera creatively to produce
quite remarkable images. At the bottom of this post you will find links
to some photographers and references to related resources that will help
you get you started. Also, we listed related Flickr pools that contain
thousands of further examples of what can be achieved with this
technique. Get inspired, folks!
