Hi guys,
Been wanting to do this for a long long time, since the last time I made my 6x7 dual pinhole panorama camera, finally got down to it. Figured I would share this with everyone who's into alternative photography...
It's essentially a pinhole camera but with 3 holes projecting an image onto a single curved 4x5 film plane. The curvature was meant to be such that the 3 images will then blend together into one.
Why 4x5? Because after I sold off my Sinar I had a whole mini fridge full of 4x5s left which I didn't want to sell off... so this project is kind of meant to expend all the excess 4x5 sheet film I have left.
Here's the camera:
Here's the 3 holes with 3 individual shutters
Here's the interior showing the curved film plane (the film is held in place by friction and a bit of the internal foam) Added a little nut to allow for tripod mounting.
Made up of chipboard hand sawn down to size and black foam sheets for lightseals. All materials bought from Art Friend in Bras Basah. Took me 1 night to cut up all the parts, another 1-2 nights to assemble and paint.
Here's the first test image I did with the camera, quickly photographed on the lightbox and burnt in photoshop.
Shot with Ilford HP5 400, orange filter, ~8secs per pinhole.
Hope you guys like it! Don't see many DIY cameras around these days...
