My Pinhole Cameras

Here are pictures of some of my pinhole cameras. As in lens photography it is important be be familiar with your camera, so I usually use only one or two for a particular project. Instructions for making various types of pinhole cameras are found in my article Pinhole Photography – History, Images, Cameras, Formulas

Many of the pictures were taken in the early 1990s with a Polaroid camera. When I have time I will replace them with better pictures.
