Celebrating Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day
Today is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. Time to celebrate with some really really small apertures.
If you want to quickly throw together a pinhole camera from a beer can and some gaffer tape, look no further than these instructions.
Justin Quinnell used this technique to take this fantastic six-month exposures of the sun in transit across the sky in and around Bristol, UK.
He’s also the genius behind the infamous SmileyCam, a pinhole camera compact enough to fit inside your mouth and take pictures of bemused dental practitioners.
If the beer can technique isn’t your, um, cup of beer, there are plenty of other pinhole-making methods listed.
