The Pinhole Project – Assemble Part 2

My pinhole is ready and it has already shot a few pictures. But first things first. Here’s the last part of the pinhole assemble.
Over the Easter holidays somewhere in the heart of the northeastern Portuguese country in a very small village named Cortiços, I took the time to finish the pinhole.

I just followed the instructions right here and folded and glued everything as you can see in the picture bellow.

This little box above is the black box, where you stick the metal sheet (mine was cut out of a Sumol Can) with the actual pin hole and where the film is exposed to the light. I used an old needle I found in a drawer, so I can’t really be sure about the precise measure of that hole. But hey, that’s the pinhole spirt, I guess.

Next I had to take apart an used film canister, flip around the spool and put it back together. This was the tricky bit of the whole thing. Next i taped the new unexposed film to the spool with black electrical tape so that I can wind it to rotate the film between exposures just like any film camera.

Next I mounted the film canisters in the black box.

Then I just put everything inside the Cheshire Cat box and it was ready to shoot. All I had to do was roll the film a pull that shutter up.

On the follow up post I will upload some pictures shot with this pinhole and i hope they are usable since it’s my first experience.

Take care.
