My new pinhole camera
For any reasonably competent DIYer this would be counted as amateurish and laughable, especially with the time it took to make. But here it is.
After 9 months of try outs with various types of wood. Learning their characteristics and opting finally for simple plywood. I finally have a pinhole camera that accepts 5*7 darkslides. This now enables me to take several pictures without running back home to load new paper. It was worth the effort.
Yes, the intention was to dovetail the joints, but I am no carpenter (plywood just splinters and oak is very brittle) and I finally decided the priority was 'make the camera' not make it look beautiful. It turns out that it is strong enough as is, since I have dropped it a couple of time with no breakages.
