The $3000 Pinhole camera
Friday, August 4th, 2006
I should really make my first blog related to my own photography, but this was too good to pass up!
The Canon 5D is a very nice digital camera. Without a lens it costs just shy of $3000. A Pinhole camera is essentially film (or a digital image sensor) with a tiny pinhole instead of a lens. This gives an amazingly good picture for the “price” because the camera is typically free (plus the cost of film). The picture always comes out very blurry, though! Apparently a number of people like to emulate the pinhole camera using their expensive digital SLR bodies… so the $3000 pinhole camera has been created!
