thankyou

Thankyou to all of you who have given me inspiration for my lesson plan. One
thing that I am having trouble with is translating the Americanisms into
things that we have access to here in Australia. Is a pringles snack a box
or a canister? When you say "soda can" do you mean aluminium can such as a
coke can?

Also wondering if the 35 mm film canister pinhole camera is used to make a
film negative? What I want to do with my students is get them straight into
paper negs as they haven't yet done film processing.

Thanks again everyone. This discussion group is really interesting. I am
loving the images people are pointing out and posting.

Lisa,
I start young students with the 35mm film cannisters pinhole
cameras.  I use a standard single paper punch to put a 1/4"
hole in the cannister.  We use soda cans, drill with a
needle driven into a 3/8" dowel(Thanks Stewart Woodruff),
into an eraser.  Then sand the burr created with fine
sandpaper and tape it over the hole.  A piece of electrical
tape is used for a shutter.  I too cut the paper ahead of
time and store in the safebox.  My older students start with
a Pringle's Snack ca(3.5"x5"format)spray with flat black
paint and follow a similar plan as the 35mm.  A great source
of cannisters is your local photo processing shop.  They
have been great about saving them for me.
Good Luck,
Chuck Flag
