Simple panorama camera can be made out of cardboard. Make one side flat and all the rest a half circle. Exposure times depend on the size of the pinhole and the distance from the film. Extrapolate from your knowledge of lens photography. As for color shift, always remember that pinhole photography is more like play than like science, or at least the better pinholers are more willing to play than many lens photographers. Play involves observed trial and error. And who said sky had to be blue?

  Hello- I'm totally new to this wonderful medium and have a gazillion questions- however- for the moment- can anyone share with me the basics on making a panorama camera- something simple- and is there a way to use a film base that is color- that doesn't require a darkroom with color abilities?
  I'm making my first camera this weekend- I'll start with an taking the lens off my 35mm. If I'm shooting asa 200 under hazy skies in the afternoon- any ballpark ideas on exposure time? Thanks so much for any input- and I promise- the questions will get more knowledgeable in the future!
