this is really interesting and i watched al the clips on youtube about the first photograph etc so i decided to make my own pinhole camera.

i used an old jewellary box, the base of a snappy snaps pen (lol), some thin strips of wood, the inside of an old 35mm reel, some black cable tape, glue, and hey presto i made me a camera.

i put a hole in the middle for the light to get through and made a shutter and taped it over the hole, then i went out side to try it out, ive used up all the film and just waitn to develope it at work tomorrow! hope it turns out ok lol

if it goes well and they turn out good ill post up the images that i took and images of my homemade camera! lol

I hope that they work out for you!
