Plumbing Pipe as a Camera

[Kitty]

I was surprised but it actually works. It just takes 5 minutes to fully work and if its a portrait, thats a long time to stand still but it is a cheap and fun way to take pictures very naturally.

Pinhole cameras! I used to do it with an oatmeal canister, but I had to paint the inside black. Plumbing pipe sounds easier and more sturdy.

Well, you just get a black plumbing pipe about a foot long and cap it at both ends. Seal one end up completely and leave one end so that you can take the top on and off in order to put the film in. then make a tiny pin h*** in the middle of the pipe. Have black electrical take to use as a shutter. I will try to [ost some pictures of how it looks next week.
