A Quick Simple Pinhole Camera

The pinhole lens is in place and Nick prepares to attach a standard mailing label on the back opposite the lens. We put our name on it and will write down best exposure times as we experiment with our new cameras. |
Name tag in place. |

Nick puts the shutter in place ready to load and shoot. We normally shoot pearl RC photo paper cut 1.5"x1.5" in our cameras. Some Advanced Photo students use 35mm B&W film in their canister cameras |
Names are great in a classroom or workshop situation so that people get the right camera or if the leave it around it can be returned. |

Nick is getting the changing bag ready in case the darkroom is too full or he wants to take some paper home and load his camera there. Later I will add my "Mini Darkroom" and show a way to develop in the field. |
This is my workshop traveling darkroom. The table knocks down and I have two sets of small trays. The beige pan is where I put water for a pre wash. I have used this at a local private school and at a Boy Scout camp to teach pinhole photography. Sets up in small areas like a janitors closet or a bathroom in the medical office at Boy Scout camp. Only my clamp on light with a 7 watt red light is missing from this photo.
