(no subject)

hi, i just wanted to share a new camera i made. i cut a polaroid big shot
down to create a wide angle camera. these cameras are nothing but good old
hard plastic. great for carrying around in a bag because they're lightweight.
anyway, i cut the bellow shaped plastic front off using a handsaw. i then
covered the open front with a piece of metal (i used a piece that i had left
over from a tintype kit) spray painted flay black. drill a hole in the metal
for your pinhole. i used a pie tin for my pinhole using a 10/13 crewal
needle. the focal length(if i'm using the correct term) is one and one half
inch. the great thing about polaroid bigshots is that you can leave them as
they are for closeups or cut them down to various lengths. i got mine on ebay
for under 20 bucks.
