You really have to push the boundaries of photography away from instant gratification LDC screen and AI photography to produce creative work that does not totally rely on Photoshop skills. In this video, I take you on a journey from camera to print using the simple method of capture, a Pinhole Camera, not one you buy, one you make yourself, enjoy.

So refreshing - no gear review, just messing around with a plain old fashioned practical attitude ... and great results. 😊
Yea aggree
Martin, this video changes my look towards photography! You’ve made me realise that photography is not about fancy cameras and lenses it’s about creating beautiful artistic images which pleases the viewer eyes and soul! Thanks again Martin, this is for me the best channel on CZcams ❤ keep up your amazing work ❗️
Glad it helped
Possibly the best video I've ever seen on CZcams.
WOW Thank you
🤣
I was lucky to win the auction. A fantastic photo! Thank you...
Thank you for bidding, glad you liked the print
How absolutely fantastic!! And I was thinking ‘that looks like Pool Road’ just as you turned in the Cemetery. I lived in Otley for 33 years before moving away. Happy days.
That was an eye opener video Martin! Now i know a liitle better than before about principles of photography, thanks to you!
You're the best. CZcams algorithm is pure magic at times.
Dammit that was SO enjoyable to watch.
Love your work. Makes me reminisce about being in the darkroom in my youth. Thank you.
Absolutely wonderful explanation and process, yielding gorgeous results. Bravissimo!!
I'm a fully retired Corporate photographer, with 31 years in that capacity. I personally own 4 large format film cameras, 3 of which are 4"x5" and 1 - 5" x 7". However it's mostly digital these days, mostly Canon and both D-SLRs and mirrorless, with both APS-C and FF systems.
I have created pinholes and pinhole cameras. I prefer to temporarily mount the pinholes onto a digital camera first, to both grade the pinhole quality as well as to assess the effective aperture value. This process also helps determine shutter reciprocity error.
Martin, you are the Wizard of old cameras and techniques. This is wonderful to see. Thank you.
Thank you
What a star you are Martin - total inspiration and antidote to photography snobs!!
A very good source for boxes like this are "Smart Phone" Boxes. You should be able to ask a retailer/reseller if they have any spare or waste boxes, or if not, if they could keep a couple, "for your recycling/upcycling project."
Not only it is best but one of the most valuable videos I have seen recommended for all enthusiasts ❤❤
That was great, such a clear video, and at the end, a very nice image. But - the memorial itself is quite extraordinary, even by Victorian melodramatic standards. It is stunning and certainly worth photographing. I hope the poor soul buried there was much loved.
Thanks, there is some beautiful memorial in churches
Thank you Martin for a truly beautiful viewing experience.
Great video, thanks!
I heading out to painting studio at this moment because you're video has inspired me. I've been working on a piece and lost my muse. You got me motivated.
I didn't even realize that the video was 30 minutes long. I'd love a series of these! The whole process was extremely interesting and insightful. Talent in its pure form.
Great video and so timely given that this weekend is worldwide pinhole photography day!
yes
Spot on in every way.
No detail omitted.
Beautiful result.
Thank you!
Wonderful video, thanks Martin. pleasure of a walkthrough, especially to someone of my generation who hasn't had much exposure to the origins of photography. Simple and beautiful, as was your result. Thanks for sharing sir
Wonderful Martin, absolutely lovely.
Beautiful!
Great instruction on making a pinhole camera.
Looking forward to Sunday, worldwide pinhole day.
Its great fun and easy to do
Martin, that is one of the best video tutorial I have seen for a long time, kept me glude to the screen, keep up the good work. Mick...
Cheers Mick
Bro made better picture than i did using x100 this morning.. experience dont lie. Good job Martin. You are gold !
Well that is saying something, I doubt it was not a sharpE as the X100 LOL
I'm glad to see a fellow cemetery photographer - I always go when I don't want to be around people either. Beautiful work Martin!
Man after my own heart, thanks
That’s awesome! Beautiful quality!!!
Made it in photography class in 6th grade. Awesome
Refreshing.
Fantastic video. Great tutorial on how to make a pinhole camera and what you can create with it. Great work.
You really nailed that exposure.
Most photographers on youtube struggle to make decent images with more computing power than NASA went to the moon with. Martin takes rubbish from the waste bin and creates art.
I think to much becomes very little, keep simple do good
First class video - thanks for posting.
Absolutely outstanding!!
Definitely victorian ambiance to that resulted photo
Absolutely fun to watch! Pure photography in one of it’s simplest forms. Fascinating video
Thoroughly enjoyed this video...well explained...and a delight to watch...old school photography is fun.
Hi Martin. You're a great man! Thank you for your educative video to show us that we can take photographs with very old fashioned way. And it's result is amazing.
Camera Obscura. Nicely done.
I thought the two dead people you were stepping on wouldn't let the photograph appear, you were lucky. The excellent result. I follow you starting today from Barcelona, Spain.
You got amazing results from your homemade pinhole camera.
Fascinating to learn about this. Thank you!
Very impressive! ❤
Awesome!! Great job!!
Mesmerizing ❤
Brilliant!
Absolutely wonderful ! Thank you so much. Thank you for the genuine presentation and passion, thank you for not bombarding us with non stop music.
I hate loud music, never happen on my channel
Wonderful video.. love how it worked out. well done
Martin, this is such a beautiful photo. Your method is fascinating and I can understand your anticipation in seeing the end result, knowing that you now have ample experience to guide the process to some extent. Even the weather was assisting you and the result is soft and graceful.
I'm shocked, absolutely stunning and completely unexpected. Ive been taking photos over 4o years from Italy.
Wow!, Just wow. I know the camera obscura, but I ve never seen it in practice like this. Amazing.
Try it yourself its easy to do
I might actually start making box cameras now
Excellent
Thank you Martin! Pinholes are so much fun. I'm not sure which part of the process is best - building a camera out of nothing, figuring out how to make it work, creating the image, or admiring it afterwards. Your image is wonderful, thanks for sharing that too!
great video, very interesting, never knew this could be done, cheers bud,
This is pure photography, as simple and elegant as it gets. Thank you Martin!
very cool. great video.
That is totally amazing! Thank you, Martin. 👍👍
Your welcome, thanks for watching
My dad loved his pin hole camera. Great video
It brings back good memories, a few years ago with friends we were taking panoramic pinhole cameras with round iron cake boxes, we were having a blast, we were trying lots of things, it was magical ! thank you Mr Martin for making this known to young people who have not known the history of film photography !
Thanks for a fine video sir.
Wonderful video 👏
I did this for my photo class freshman year in college years ago. I loved the results. Thanks for the reminder.
Amazing!
How to create a black hole that make sense!
Subd
And metric to!!!
Jee, so many flashbacks to my darkroom (sauna) 70-80s... I spent ridiculous amounts of money on gear, papers films, fluids, omg...
To just finally accept that i was a totally disastrous photografer...
But it was so much fun! The magic you could do in the darkroom.. Something completely different from what people think a photo is.
Seeing photos from 1880s to 1930s can just blow your mind if you understand!
I hope it will have renaissance!!!
Absolutely fantastic video - very very interesting. Subscribed to your channel...
Amazing stuff
I did this with with my dad,couple of decades ago.
If only he could see how everything is changed in the world of photography.
i love pinhole cameras I made many 5x7" ones and an 11x14" pinhole camera. Although I contact printed my paper negatives. my first few were very high contrast although I didnt try diluted developer I used different silver gelatin paper to reduce contrast
Beutiful picture, that little sun turned out great!
I love “alternative’ photography. I’ve got myself an ancient (well 70s era) Polaroid 35mm slide enlarger, and love lifting the emulsion off the plastic and putting it onto print making rag papers, you get this gorgeous, painterly colour that digital just can’t emulate. Making a pinhole was one of the first exercises we did when I took photography as an elective when I did fine arts. I know digital is useful, but for mine film is alchemy, magic. Thanks for sharing your knowledge mate, a great video!
incredibly evocative, ethereal the right word, real depth - thank you.
Martin and others interested in this idea. It makes me think about 3d immersive optics. Perhaps, we may need to find a way to use the eye as the Lense to send the image with whatever distortion and frame rate needed to give the brain the information it needs to see a 3d world. Thanks for the informative view.
Awesome as always Martin.
I think I'd take a few prepared sheets of paper along with my darkroom bag just in case I messed up or at least have a few different images to process when I got home.
I was quite confident I would get something , however maybe I should have , thanks
thank you. this was fun and interesting
Brilliant! Really enjoyed watching this very enjoyable and informative video demonstration on how pin hole photography works! Your presentation was perfectly pitched and easy to follow and understand! Well done and thank you, I learned a lot about this fascinating topic!
Thank you for taking the time to go through this process and to share it with the world. I did this once as a child - probably in the late 1960s or early 1970s - and your presentation reminded me of that nearly forgotten event in my life.
Bravo, Martin!! From Italy, Alfredo
Reminds me of a photo exhibition I saw in Washington DC years ago called “The Waking Dream” all about the history of photography. Top notch mate!
That was very interesting with an amazing result. Well done.
Thank you
Echoing what everyone else has said. This was a very enjoyable video. My first time watching you. Amazing tutorial. Cheers from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Thank you
Nice!
Great video fella
What a truly amazing video, I've seen a guy on Instagram who has a modern plastic pinhole camera and he puts the developer into the camera after he's taken the picture. The box must obviously be watertight also, I've thought about buying one. I remember using a pinhole camera when I was young. I'm going to give that a go. I've just but my bid in.
Yes I know who you mean looks very interesting
Fantastic!
Top job. I did this nearly 40 years ago in high school, and I can promise you that our results were absolute rubbish compared to this! Well done.
Absolutely lovely. Many thanks!
I used to do this when I was a kid, even built my own photographic enlarger from tin cans with a $12 lens…..magnifying glasses to condense the light.
NICE JOB
Beautiful, kudos.
great work
Brilliant
That was wonderful, thank you!
Brilliant ! 😀
This is outstanding!
Amazing, I really enjoyed watching your video, it brought back memories of the dark room I had a as a kid. I want to build a pinhole camera now! Thank you for the memories.
that was great fun to watch
What an entertaining watch. Good man, Martin!
