^ _^ yay , so I am making a world better - by obtaining photographic image - using pinhole cameras !
i am making my own cameras and inserting special paper and then in darkroom i am using some chemistry to make a image ^ ^ !
its cheap, rlly, just need some time and skill and experience and motivation.

the image is created by light going throught a little (0,3mm) hole in front piece of box, and shine on a paper that can be putted inside in maaaany diffrent ways ^ _^
some of my example cameras : http://whitekira.blogspot.com/2010/08/blog-post_07.html
some of example photos i made year ago : http://whitekira.blogspot.com/search/la ... rkow%C4%85

What is it about? well, i ended electronic school (sorry for broken english) so i know REAL prices of electronic goods in shops.. becouse i can make most of em by myself
so when i look up at cameras like Canon with super glass that cost ..hmm hundreds hundreds of dollars.. O M G its WAAAAAAY toooooo muuuuch..

so everyone here, u dont have to buy THEIR cameras XD u can make one by yourself..
its easiest part, more complicated is to find some stuuf neede to make a photography..

u will need to find 2x bottles of diffrent chemistry, and one u can make by ur own using any organic acid like lemon juice..
the more important is to find some photo paper, it is a paper that is reactign to light by darkning in areas where light hit a point.

i am sorry i will not show u that, becouse my webpage about it is still in progress ;/ and i didnt translated it to english..
but u can try to watch a skeleton in progress here : https://sites.google.com/site/lenslessphotography/
i promise after my diploma i will build full image ^ _^ with photos and everything i need just some time..

but easier propably will be type in google : pinhole photography, lensless photohraphy,

wish U all luck ^ ^ hope i inspire someone to make some tests!
For science! : )

Cool Dante!

Do the photos you make fade over time?

Also, what is this thing you built here:

http://whitekira.blogspot.com/2011/04/swiatomierz.html

Is that a light meter?

MK500, Google translated that page for me and said that it is in fact a photometer.

Awesome site Dante! I wish I could read your language, it looks like you've done some very cool projects.

yes it is a light meter XD becouse i was sick aobut all batteries that need to be buy all over time to power a non power machine o.O

so I made one without any batteries XD

I used old selen photocell that is giving voltage as light shine brighter - more ^ _^
if U wonna do same u can find some old analog volt-meter and connect it to solar cell ( can be even small one from calculator) -depending on scale u have. if u dont have, a solar cell u can try to find old pc mouse - i found that one part of it can generate a little voltage when have some light shining on, but of course a solar cell is way stronger..
that little parts looks like this http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SAqpEnHxuR0/T ... e%2529.JPG and u can find them everywhere where something is moving and a move is need to be digitalized for machine XD like printers, dvd, mouse, etc.
oh and if a solar cell is giving too much power, u can find a volume control stuff becouse it is a resistor that u can adjust more or less ohms (resist power unit) slowing down a voltage ^_ ^ (looks like this http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MKPP7cUCoi8/S ... sistor.jpg )

throw some not important parts and there u have it XD

sorry about it ;/ there is so much going on in my life that i can almost good spell it on keyboard in my own language but dont worry i am working on it, so after vacation a pinhole site and built in linked site DIY(that is part of my blog) should be done in english ^_^

for science!

oh as i said it is a liht meter, yes : )

about fading..
well there are two types of technik u can use

1- u can use only paper, (MOST cheaper one, and clean method)
but the image will be created by using a loooong peroid of time, like.. 1 year
-dont worry ! it would be awsome pic anyway XD for example my well known sensei done some year sun observation by pinhole camera with only paper inserted and mounted it inside greenhouse - it looks like this : http://www.peuta.republika.pl/images/sol4.jpg (image on his site)
_but the image u will have will fade if u put it in light (but veeery slowly) so u should put it on scaner (scnaer is not so bright as sun dont worry) and scan a picture until it fade away with time then u can have it year picture
>ex>but u can speed up process of caputring picture by using camera with lens, then two weeks should be ok,
[in each of this method remmember to prepare good place- all objects u wonna to photoghraph should be lighted with sun for some hours in daytime any dark places like something between two big buildings where sun all da is not coming -will be dark]
u need to cut out (in not bright place such as toilet-light off) a piece of photopaper to fit inside some old camera and switch it to build time (alltimeOpened) or u can get some lens by urself and build a camera just like pinhole camera but make a hole bigger and put a lens inside it but u should check if a focus is right on target and measure where the paper should be to shar image can be created : )

2- this second method as i said before need some chemistry and after u use it well, image can last for about 80years not destroyed ^_^ later who knows o.O haha,
so this second method can give U time like 45sec or 3min or few hours,, but dont worry ifu wonna do some long exposure u can add a welding filter ^ _^ dont forget to make a pinhole camera proof to any light, use some clorored(black is best) tape


ps(can some moderator merge all my posts in one message? XD i am sorry to make a mess like this after i did, i dont know hot to put it back together XD..

Thanks for all the info, dante. You really do have some cool projects there!

Thank U for motivation. I am glad to hear it.

Very cool information. Thanks again. I have accidentally made my room into a camera like this while trying to block the light coming in from the window. I lived on Main St and woke up to people walking and cars passing...upside down and reversed horizontally on my wall and ceiling. The hole was 2-3 inches square, so it wasn't in focus. But it was a very neat experience.

I'm starting to look at what it would take to capture a cool image. Thanks for your inspiration!

I found this interesting panoramic pinhole camera project here:
