'Pinhole STD-35' Pinhole Camera Kit

Product Description

Photography teachers love telling their students how easy it is to make a photo camera with nothing but a plain old cardboard box. This explanation makes it much easier to understand how photography was first invented. In case you didn't know how photography works: photography is based on the "camera obscura", a device that means that you can project an image captured through a small hole (or aperture) on its surface so that the size of the image is reduced & its clarity augmented. Photo sensitive film, commonly known as a roll of film, is used in order to record this image. On the Internet you’ll find instructions for building a very basic camera, like the early cameras, called a pinhole camera. But the STD-35 offers one big advantage: it'll save you the trouble of trying to cut the cardboard & prevent you from messing the whole project up somewhere along the line. All you have to do is add a roll of 3.5cm film. With this kit, you can easily build a pinhole camera & take pictures that look a lot like the photos from an old compact camera such as the Kodak Instamatic or a toy cameras like the Lomo.
