Considering this is intended as an instructional video, it's not as clear and informative as it could be.
Although the presenter says to make sure the pinhole in your box is smooth, if you put a hole directly in the side of a box, as some might if they follow the steps given, you're in danger of getting a rough edge (depending on material the box is made of) and not a very good image. You can use foil to make a more precise pinhole.
(1) Cut a hole in one side of the box (say a couple of cm square).
(2) Make the pinhole in a small piece of thin foil or metal (eg from a drinks can). With the metal/foil you can smooth down any rough edges around the pinhole with sandpaper.
(3) Tape the foil on the inside of the box over the hole you've made, allowing the pinhole to be visible.
(4) As v1nchynoobs points out, the video also says 'tape the paper to the inside of the box.' This might be obvious to those who've done it before, but not to someone making a pinhole camera from these instructions. The paper is actually fixed to the side of the box opposite the pinhole, so that light can project on to it.This is often the lid, but can also be a side, depending on where the pinhole is located. You can use tape or something like Blu-Tak to fasten it.
(5) The title of the video is 'How to Make a Shoebox Pinhole Camera.' Strictly speaking, I suppose this is what's been done. But as v1nchynoobs also quite rightly asks: What then? What do you do with the photo paper? How do you get to the final image? Simply to end by saying that once you 'have it down you'll be sure to take some amazing pinhole camera photos' is not particularly helpful. It would have been useful to see some results!
(6) Once you've exposed the photo paper, DON'T simply open your camera! The paper will be over-exposed and your picture ruined, as in - there won't be one!
(7) Take the camera back to a photographic darkroom, where you can then open it and develop the photo paper (using Developer, Stop Bath, Fix - traditional chemicals - and Wash).
(8) Pinhole photography is at the mercy of lighting conditions. The same scene can require widely differing exposure times depending on something as simple as the sun being in or out!
You just have to stick at it and experiment!
Can I use safe light before or after
You should have included some sample photos.
two questions.
1. "tape the paper to the inside of the box". Do you mean the back side opposite to the hole or tape it covering the hole from the inside or tape it to the side wall or wot?
2. What do I do after the exposure? Does it need to be developed? how do i develop it? or do i just leave it and it should come up.
yes you have to develop it.
Surprised the instructor didn't include the use of aluminum...Short, good cinematography, but missing a lot of info.
Short and yet very detailed info, thanks!
I had no idea this existed I saw another person's video where he mentioned it I am still confused
great ! but what to do after i wait for 20 seconds? thx
nice
I tried it and nothing happened.
How the fuck do I get the paper inside the box. I can't find this information anywhere...
I want to put this inside a paper device and ᴵᵗ'ˢ ᵛᵉʳʸ ˢᵐᵃˡˡ
