That is awesome!

I haven't got the patience to do that, but what a neat image it produces!

The Poles seem to be short of real cameras. We need an emergency appeal.

Pinhole cameras are really cool. Personally I'd rather use a DSLR, but you know, whatever floats your boat.

As a side note, I went into my local bookstore a couple days ago looking for a book by Bryan Peterson and I was told "Since digital has replaced film, I don't carry how-to-photography books. Nobody uses real cameras anymore."

I wanted to beat her about the head with my 70-300, but decided against it due to the fact my lens might be damaged.

In the bottom photo, there are green lines in the sky as well. Could those be where the moon has crossed the sky?

I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.

Subby has his priorities totally backwards. A can camera is much more obvious.

/AgI in the hizzouse

New desktop images...nice find subby!

Don't most students taking a photography class make pinhole cameras? We did, anyway.

Still neat.

I didn't see any pictures of weed pipes. Now, where did mine go? Ah! Here's an apple!

I guess there are no photos of the camera?

>:(

Very, very cool.

Thanks subby.

We did this in a journalism class in 9th grade. We actually used empty Quaker Oats cans. Had a lot of fun with it, but it was a pain in the ass to get the exposure time just right.

benlonghair: Pinhole cameras are really cool. Personally I'd rather use a DSLR, but you know, whatever floats your boat.

I think leaving a DSLR running for a year while pointing at the sun the whole time would cause a few minor technical issues that would have to be resolved

I read this as "things you can do with an empty cat."

They make prtty good bongs, too, if you dry them out.

Yeah but did you ever do a 6 month exposure?

I've seen ronery times when I could not find a friend

but mamma...that's where the fun is

I find the title, "Can Photography", greatly misleading.

Heh

No, ours were usually around 8-12 minutes. But all you'd have to do is make a really small hole or use really nonreactive photo paper, right?

That and have 6 months to leave stuff sit around.

I'm not trying to say it's not cool, though, because it is.

Slu: Very, very cool.

Thanks subby.

Yes, super retro-coolness.

A can has camera?

Yes, and I got arrested for it.

Wow, I got those answers totally backwards.

I always preferred using an old shoebox to a can for my obscurae, but they tend to catch fire if I use them for weed.

The Big Box stores now have split up where to find your photography books. The books that are collections or business related or "general photographic interest" are in the Photography section. All other books, like the Magic Lantern books, the Scott Kelby books, are in the computer section.

BAH!!

Little known fact: Cans can also be used to store things in and drink out of!

/really.

wow, very cool! thanks subby. :)

Can is empty

Hack Patooey: What a picture of a can might look like

ZOMG!!

We did stuff like this back in High School.

Oh so long ago....

Hack Patooey: What a picture of a can might look like

That can does not have a millimeter sized hole..

Yup ... used a Quaker Oats can ... cool stuff

Camera obscuras may also be used to catch ghosts.

crappy photos that were photoshopped to have trippy colors.

lame.

smoking weed off cans is bad. aluminum paint.

I actually have several of these deployed around Memphis right now. The process is called Solargraphy and is becoming quite popular.

Almost as bad as Shop Trolls.

//Hot like burning weed

Weed pipe wasn't obvious to me. Of course I'm not a burned out stoner, either.
