…and it’s finished

Today I completed the Pinox paper pinhole camera. I have loaded it with some 400 ISO black and white film and will shoot some pics over the next few days.

Whilst putting it together I discovered a couple of things that needed fettling to get the best possible results from the camera.
First of all, the edge of the card where the front aperture in the camera is cut shows white. This could cause issues with light reflecting off it, so I ran a black marker along each edge of the hexagon, as can be seen below.

Secondly, the internal part of the camera, when put inside the outer housing, has some movement. There is the possibility that the internal part of the camera could move during exposure causing the image to blur. To eliminate this I simply attached a small bit of white tack to the edge of each film canister to take up the space.

I’m now looking forward to some pinhole photography fun.
Stay tuned for the results 📷
