When the pinhole is uncovered, the film is exposed for an arbitrary amount of time, and later developed to discover the results. The images often have a soft, almost ghostly look that is very distinct and artsy.<\/p>\n<p>With the advent of digital SLR cameras in the past few years, you can now make an easy version of this same simple camera that uses a digital sensor instead of film, and simple materials you already have at hand.

I took the following photos with shutter speeds anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid any unwanted movement when releasing the shutter, set your camera to a short timer release (mine is at 2 seconds).<\/p>\n<p>I found that keeping the ISO as low as possible helped keep the images looking clean, as the ghostly look of the pinhole doesn&#8217;t work well with the noise of higher ISOs.<\/p>\n<p>CLEAN THE DUST OFF! You might notice my cap is very dusty. This is not good for the camera, as you&#8217;ll be exposing the sensor to a lot of debris. Give the cap a good dusting before use.<\/p>\n<p>Experiment! See if different positions of the foil make differences in the images. Does an off-center pinhole change the image drastically? Try two or more pinholes for a double-image look.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-709\" href=\"http:\/\/mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/2009\/12\/how-to-make-a-digital-pinhole-camera-fast-cheap-and-easy\/pinhole-project-16\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-709\" title=\"Pinhole Project - 16\" src=\"http:\/\/mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-16-580x388.jpg\" alt=\"Pinhole Project - 16\" width=\"580\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-16-580x388.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-16.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-709\" href=\"http:\/\/mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/2009\/12\/how-to-make-a-digital-pinhole-camera-fast-cheap-and-easy\/pinhole-project-16\/\"><\/a><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-710\" href=\"http:\/\/mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/2009\/12\/how-to-make-a-digital-pinhole-camera-fast-cheap-and-easy\/pinhole-project-17\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-710\" title=\"Pinhole Project - 17\" src=\"http:\/\/mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-17-580x388.jpg\" alt=\"Pinhole Project - 17\" width=\"580\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-17-580x388.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-17-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-17.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-712\" href=\"http:\/\/mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/2009\/12\/how-to-make-a-digital-pinhole-camera-fast-cheap-and-easy\/pinhole-project-19\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-712\" title=\"Pinhole Project - 18\" src=\"http:\/\/mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-19-580x388.jpg\" alt=\"Pinhole Project - 18\" width=\"580\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-19-580x388.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-19-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mikesenese.com\/DOIT\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Pinhole-Project-19.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most basic style of camera is the pinhole camera, usually a light-proof box that holds a piece of film inside.
