Free Stuff: DIY Pinhole Camera

By Ken Hoyt

Summer vacation is just around the corner. The familiar whine, "I'm bored" will be only moments behind the final school bell. Take out a little insurance: bookmark this post for inexpensive fun that provides hours of brain-stimulating activity.

Pinhole cameras are fascinating. At their most complex they challenge the math skills, but at their simplest they still amaze (check out this FAQ for more info). Should you doubt the possibilities check out this gallery, updated once each year following World Pinhole Photography Day.

Corbis Corporation (they manage licensed visual media) has joined the fun by providing cameras, like the one shown. Start by downloading and building the camera and learning the ropes.

Continue the fun by making a competition for best ____ (animal, food, sport?) picture. Perhaps you can sponsor a gallery (complete with an opening night party?). At the least you'll have a unique scrapbook to mark a special summer.

Via.
