- In the past, I have photographed with the Harman Titan 4X5 pinhole camera; however, in this episode, I share a bit about my first ever pinhole camera I built from a tea tin for the ‘Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day’, April 28th, 2024. And then share the image I captured with it.

Awesome camera: "That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." happy pinhole day !!! I use the app called Pinhole Designer. Today it was raining so I did my first cyanotype print. 1 hour exposure. UV level 1
Excellent! Thank you for the comment and for sharing. I'll have to have a look see at the app.
Very nice. I built a few quick pinhole cameras for my grandkids with tall drink cans and a Quaker Oats cardboard container and we used direct positive photo paper, so no developing was needed. A scan and inversion on the computer did the trick.
I have a fancy Zero Image pinhole camera that results in much sharper images, but that’s because the 3 holes are precision cut to exact sizes of 0.18mm, 0.28mm & 0.35mm for effective apertures of f/138, f/176 & f/236.5 respectively. The clean cut of the hole makes for sharper images, but pinhole photos are always a bit soft.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and appreciate it very much. I was and still, considering the Zero 4x5 Pinhole Camera System and for that reason of having the three different pinhole sizes to work with. Not only that, but it does also look beautiful too. However, having never worked with direct positive photo paper, you peaked my interested in this 'no developing was needed.' Is there reference materials or sites I can visit. I'm curious, because everything I've read lead me to believe it still has to be developed in some way.
With your punch you could make a film holding system with a few dots on each side at the back, but don't sand the backs off. The risk of film slippage is too high as the Sun warms the can up.
Thank you. Appreciate the suggestion. The film inside slipping around had me concerned as I was moving around with the pinhole camera.
Is there any relationship between the size of the pinhole and the sharpness of the image?
Thanks for the question. I did give it some thought, and I'm going to hazard a guess there is. I knew giving the diameter of the hole and the small tea tin size it could be an issue. I think it's the focal length with the math. Having said that, I'm considering building a 4X5, but this time, I use the pinhole diameter to build a camera around it, calculating f/stop, focal length, and angle of light into the camera. As well as reading up more on the subject.
A pro version will use a laser to cut the hole, its not just the size but also the cleanest of the hole. You can check it with a loupe after sanding.
Indeed, if you go to mrpinhole website, you can calculate the optimal pinhole size for a particular focal length. I'll also advice buying some laser drilled pinhole plates, they are quite cheap. Just Google for options. With this small adjustment, the difference in image quality is very noticeable. Good luck!
