« Matchbox pinhole - some colour shots! | Olympus Trip - Manual Modifcation »

Here's a couple of photos of the shutter I'm currently using. It's made from a couple of bits of scrap card. One has a quite large hole cut in the centre which fits over the pinhole (I didn't cut this very neatly - you can do better!) The other piece acts as the shutter and slides behind this, covering the pinhole. I stuck some black tape on the back of this shutter card.
Shutter closed.....
shutter open.....
very interesting details.
Quite similar to the one I have on mine as well (sorry, no pictures available), except that I attached a rubber band to mine, in order to be able to shoot that sunny summer day :-)

Haha, I will try to make this shutter on my next matchbox-camera. It seems a lot more practical than my solution. I had to keep the paper flap open with my hand, en that probably introduces some vibrations.
Also, I am thinking of also making a mini-tripod for this camera. Until now, I just placed it on some stable surface, but because the camera does not have a flat surface beneath, it can still move slightly.
