Here is another shot from my test roll, still trying to diagnose what the issue is with the camera.

I looked across the top, and the back fits on correctly.

I think it might be the clip that holds the film into the camera; might need to glue it a little into place.

Worldwide Pinhole Day

Digital Pinhole of Hodges Park Lake

As I hinted on Day 95, with my photo of the book I am reading, Worldwide Pinhole Day is coming.

Worldwide Pinhole Day is April 25th. I have wanted to make a pinhole camera for a while now, and shoot with it.

I have on various outings used a digital pinhole lens; with very little success, but I think as a group it will be fun.

I have seen some awesome pinhole photographs on Flickr, and it can be a fun project to learn about photography with.

I am trying to get a group together for April 25th, to meet at the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock, TX and go on a photoadventure armed with pinhole cameras, with the simple goal of taking great Lo-Fi photographs with a pinhole camera.

Event Info on Facebook.

Plan on meeting at around noon on Saturday, and bring your camera and money for lunch.

There are a variety of options available online for building a pinhole camera.

I am making 1 based on one of the paper designs in the book I have.

Day 93: Sisters

The camera on the left is a Diana Mini; a new camera modeled after the camera on the right which is called a Diana.

I purchased the older Diana today at an Antiques store here in town, after a buddy of mine called to tell me they had some old cameras there for sale at reasonable prices.

I have loaded a roll of film into the Diana and plan on shooting with it tomorrow at the LBKtweetup Easter Bash, should be fun

More on the Diana. New Diana’s.
