Hi, its me in this capture i'm finishing up the pin-hole camera ;D i am placing black foam inside the lid to make a nice and snug fit. The pin-hole camera is glazed in my pinky's pink with a bit of plum squiggles just sitting there to the left her name is Angle Wings.
Finally i had all the supplies i needed to get that show on the road. I even made up a small tube pinhole viewing thingy (not sure what to call it) But the reason i made that was so i could test out the size pinhole i would need for each size camera i make. Becasue even tho there is a nice little formula out there i could use to calculate the size hole i need (and the sad part is i was EXCELLENT in math) i can't seem to wrap my brain around understanding it. Then i realized even if i do understand it and it tells me make .010 size pin hole WHAT IN SAM HECK do i have to measure THAT with - i'll tell ya NOTHING.
So as i was looking up other pin-hole cameras & just seeing what was out there i found a site that was giving some sort of project, seemed like it was a high school kind of thing. Anyway you use 2 tubes one a little smaller in diameter than the other so it can fit inside it. Cover the one going on the inside with "magic tape" (the tape thats sorta clear but not super clear) Then the outside one you place your pinhole - well i wanted to be able to change mine out so i rigged it a bit differently. Now i have a pin-hole viewer (thats a better name than thingy) ha ha - It helps me determine how big the hole needs to be to get a good focus with the size of the camera i make. Since there are 2 tubes one inside the other i can pull the one tube out to the distance that makes the image big & clear enough and see how far away that is... hummm not sure if i'm explaining that very well.
Sounds like there may be some future pictures so that you guys can see my tube pin-hole viewer and understand a bit better what the heck i'm trying to explain here.
Thinking of ways to take pictures, rabbit

@R-C Cola: awww - thanks sweetie, i guess thats what 35 grand spend on "higher learning" will get ya. I could've just purchased a photography book (a specail one for dyslexics) one can only hope it has lots of Pictures ;D ha ha but i'm greatful none the less i mean heck thats where i learned how to do ceramics ;) and i'm very happy about that.
Oh and i LOVE to learn, so i'm constantly absorbing new and old teachings. I would say the hardest part of school was - reading - b/c well as i stated i'm a bit specail in that area.
Nice pinky shot + emphasis on the pin-hole!

Hello Rabbit, Oh... maybe this work is for me... So lovely just my favorite. I wish I could have it... ah... Rabbit do you like pinhole camera too? I love it so much.

I envy your patience and endurance, Rabbit! I don't understand your explanation (excuse me) but I find your pctures, and this one too, terrific (in the good sense of the word of course). This picture is one piece of concentration and patience!

@Erik: my explanation? you mean where i said "thinking of ways to take pictures" - - i said that because of the weird thing i had to make to view the pinhole & make it the correct size (or at least try to) I meant i was thinking about if i should take a series of pictures and put them all together for 1 photo so you can see the (weird thing i made) in different pieces. sorta like a story photo... like this one i did.
