I tried to build one out of LEGO before (bad idea... don't try this) or out of metal boxes (as bad... scratches in the filmsurface...). But nothing worked.<br> Now I have built about 15 cameras already and they all work fine. I never tried using a plastic counter. My films are mostly black (slides).<br> Now I try to build one out of wood, so that I can use different hole-diameters. Perhaps this will work - but best thing you can do to get rid of that "consumtioning" fotografing with digital cameras and to realise the real sense of fotogafing is to built a pin hole camera out of matchbox!<br> Yes this is great!tag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-08-25:/2005/12/31/matchbox_pinhole~428481/#c10760604Sueli2009-08-25T19:16:55+02:002009-08-25T19:16:55+02:00Very creative artist!tag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-08-20:/2005/12/31/matchbox_pinhole~428481/#c10718501jarg2009-08-20T15:26:57+02:002009-08-20T15:26:57+02:00I think two holes would result in one image unless you put a mask between them,it has something to do with the mysteries of physics,is light a wave or is it a particle?tag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-08-20:/2007/04/21/title~2135363/#c10714312Charlie W2009-08-20T04:15:21+02:002009-08-20T04:15:21+02:00*bookmarked*<br> <br> this is very cool and excellent news! - would love to hear more about your development process :) I've just bought some Holgas and a couple of tasty restored Trip 35's and unless I can develop at less than the $AU10 (#5 or so pounds - no key for it on my work laptop :)) ) a go for 120 film, I'll not be shooting as much as I want.tag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-08-03:/2005/12/31/matchbox_pinhole~428481/#c10576172jone2009-08-03T08:19:35+02:002009-08-03T08:19:35+02:00Want to buy a Top-Quality Replacement Battery? you can buy it from onlie shop:<br> http://www.camera-battery.co.uk <br> http://www.digital-batteries.co.uk<br> http://www.laptop-batteries.net.autag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-07-31:/2007/04/07/vivitar_ultra_wide_aamp_slim_multi_expos~2051698/#c10560951vivitar ultra wide lover2009-07-31T21:19:40+02:002009-07-31T21:19:40+02:00nice - need to find me a spare ultra wide and give this hack a go!!!tag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-07-27:/2006/02/12/olympus_trip_manual_modifcation~557103/#c10521258Assicurazioni on line Auto2009-07-27T10:41:01+02:002009-07-27T10:41:01+02:00HI, that's great thank for sharing a nice information about the camera.<br> <br> <a href="http://www.assicurazione-auto-online.net/assicurazione_auto_online.aspx">Assicurazioni on line Auto</a>tag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-07-20:/2006/02/21/filmbox_pinhole_camera~581912/#c10470147trenton2009-07-20T21:40:16+02:002009-07-20T21:40:16+02:00I HAVE 4 PINHOLE CAMERAS I MADE MYSELF BUT I WANTED TO MAKE ONE<br> OUT OF MY LEGO CARDBOARD BOX BUT IT WASN'T WIDE ANOUGH TO MAKE<br> A PINHOLE CAMERA SO I JUST FOUND SOMETHING ELSE TO MAKE A PINHOLE<br> CAMERA WITH WHENEVER I CAME OVER TO MY GRANDMA AND PAPPIES <br> HOUSE I FOUND A CUPLE OF BOXES ONE I FOUND IN MY SISTERS CLOSET<br> A SHOE BOX AND IT WAS THE RIHT SIZE FOR A PINHOLE CAMERA<br> AND I FOUND ANOTHER ONE IN MY GRANDMA AND PAPPIES BASEMENT AND<br> IT WAS THE RIGHT SIZE TO MAKE A PINHOLE CAMERA TOOtag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-07-20:/2007/04/07/vivitar_ultra_wide_aamp_slim_multi_expos~2051698/#c10463786zeng2009-07-20T06:14:58+02:002009-07-20T06:14:58+02:00that's so cool!tag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-07-17:/2005/12/31/matchbox_pinhole~428481/#c10442788alspix2009-07-17T08:52:33+02:002009-07-17T08:52:33+02:00With redscale you'd need far longer exposure times - I haven't done enough of it to know really, but I'm guessing perhaps 8x longer or more?<br> <br> BTW there's a forum for this sort of thing at <br> http://www.matchboxpinhole.com/forum tag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-07-17:/2005/12/31/matchbox_pinhole~428481/#c10441985clamhandsmcgee2009-07-17T06:40:10+02:002009-07-17T06:40:10+02:00Thanks for the fast reply. I guess you are right, but I thought underexposed was dark and overexposed was more washed out. One more thing, I know exposure time isn't an exact science, but what about redscale "loading the film backwards."

Dark negs=overexposed. Excessive blur could be pinhole too large (even more exposure), and 6 seconds in sunshine sounds too long. Try a smaller hole (should just be able to see it when held up to the light) and shorter exposure (about 1 second in sunshine with 200 film)tag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-07-16:/2005/12/31/matchbox_pinhole~428481/#c10433755clamhandsmcgee2009-07-16T06:27:48+02:002009-07-16T06:27:48+02:00First off, Thanks. I finished builing mine, instead of using the plastic from a notbook, I cut a sliver from a water bottle cap for the clicker. I used 200 color film with about 5 or 6 sec exposure time on a sunny day, and the negatives came out underexposed and blurry. Also, I scaned them with an epson v500 and tried to "doctor" them up, and with no luck.

Even better, cut the hole so that it is a rectangle 36 x 24mm instead of square - this is the conventional shape they are used to seeing. Make sure you tell the staff it's an experimental home made camera, if they are helpful they will take more care when printing. Good luck!tag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-06-16:/2005/12/31/matchbox_pinhole~428481/#c10182568alspix2009-06-16T22:47:45+02:002009-06-16T22:47:45+02:00You'll need to find a specialist shop if you want the prints to include the sprocket holes. Or just ask your normal shop to develop the film only with no prints. Then use a film scanner to scan the developed film yourself and include the sprocket holes in the scan. Then get the scanned jpg files printed. This is how most people do it.tag:alspix.blog.co.uk,2009-06-16:/2005/12/31/matchbox_pinhole~428481/#c10178911Adrian2009-06-16T16:31:24+02:002009-06-16T16:31:24+02:00Oooh, n one more thing...after i built the matchbox camera as shown in ur site, how do i wash it to produce prints as its film capture size is not of the conventional size?

I have a question n i hope u are able to help me as ur blog is very informative n helpful. I want to take 35mm pics with the sprocket effect on my Holga cam. I have modified it to fit the 35mm film roll. The question is, once i have taken my pics, how do i wash the film to get the prints? I am told by others tat if i send the roll of film to a conventional shop for photo processing, they will js produce normal square images without the sprockets. Is tat true? If so, how then can i produce sprocket prints?
