Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is fast approaching, Sunday April 28th this year. It’s a fun event where people from around the world take photos using any kind of pinhole camera they like, then upload their favorite of the day to an online gallery. Even if you aren’t a pinhole enthusiast, it’s worth checking out the website as the gallery progresses throughout the day with photos from participants around the globe.
There’s lot’s more information to be found on the organisers website. Be sure to check out the gallery which lets you search past events, in particular see the 2010 Ontario entries which has a few familiar names;).
A few years ago a local pinhole enthusiast, Steve Irvine, held a workshop where camera club members built their own pinhole cameras out of coffee cans. Lynn compiled the instructions into a brief pinhole tutorial for a refresher or a better idea of of the mechanics behind this sort of thing. Be sure to check out Steve’s website as well, he’s also a potter and has combined his skills to make some beautiful (and functional!) ceramic cameras.
