Back on update #3, I mentioned I'd tried to get a suntrack photo and there was a dog involved... The camera was set out under a tree with three ND12 filters on a sunny day with few clouds.  Here's that photo. Suntrack at Magnolia Beach  It was... (Read More)

Good news - most of the supplies are in and I have started printing!  I took a risk ordering everything before I am actually funded, but I wanted to get ahead of schedule as I know everyone would love to get their cameras early, and I don't think... (Read More)

That's it - I'm officially out of Flyer cameras. You can still get the other rewards though. I'll have another update later in the week. In the meantime, there's been a bit of confusion about kits. Camera rewards come with a finished camera and files... (Read More)

#4 hit at $12,000 - all camera, kit, and file backers will get a copy of the STL files to print the Clipper - my 6x18 panoramic pinhole.  I've done the preliminary layout and sizing and will be applying everything I've learned from Flyer to Clipper.... (Read More)

Following up on Update #6, the two group packs have been eliminated and the 20 cameras added to February delivery as individual rewards.  I have considered things carefully and I have decided I will not be adding any more cameras.  I am sorry to... (Read More)

I've been busy the last couple of days finalizing the design for printing.  Being funded early has enabled me to take the risk of going ahead and ordering all the parts and materials to print your cameras.  I'm very happy with the current state of... (Read More)

So much of the fun of pinhole cameras, apart from the pictures that they produce, is their simplicity. They’re the very basis of photography: light, a box, and something to capture your image. What’s more, they’re simple enough that you can make them yourself, out of coffee cans, cardboard boxes, or canibalise a bodycap to make one for a dSLR camera.

Stretch goals 1 & 2 met - everyone with a kit or a camera gets ND filters and laminated exposure cards!  I wanted you to have the ND filters so you could try a sun track exposure - they are really cool to do.  I intended to publish one from... (Read More)

Since O'Connor got his Solidoodle 3 printer, he has been designing and making pinhole cameras with 3D printing. I thought this would be a great way to design and build a new series of pinhole cameras. (Read More)
