'Pinhole Photography' is both an entertaining illustrated history and a practical handbook for this photographic technique. This new edition has been expanded to include further instructional information on pinhole practices.

A global survey of pinhole photography, including examples from 100 photographers spanning 12 different techniques.

This is a working camera that pops up from the pages of a book..The book concisely explains--and actively demonstrates--how a structure as humble as a folded piece of paper can tap into the intrinsic properties of light to produce a photograph.The book includes:- a piece of paper folded into a working 4x5" camera- a lightproof bag- 5 sheets of photo-paper "film"- development instructions (from complete DIY to "outsource it")- a foil-stamped cover- a satisfying demonstration of the connection between design & science / structures & functions

A respected guide for creatives, artists and photographers alike, Pinhole Photography is packed with all the information you need to understand and get underway with this wonderfully quirky, creative technique. Covering pinhole photography from its historical roots, pinhole expert Eric Renner, founder of pinholeresource.com, fully explores the theory and practical application of pinhole in this beautiful resource. Packed with inspiring images, instructional tips and information on a variety of pinhole cameras for beginner and advanced photographers, this classic text now offers a new chapter on digital imaging and more in depth how-to coverage for beginners, as well as revised exposure guides and optimal pinhole charts. With an expanded gallery of full-color photographs displaying the creative results of pinhole cameras, along with listings of workshops, pinhole photographer's websites, pinhole books and suppliers of pinhole equipment, this is the one guide you need to learn the craft and navigate the industry.

Did you ever think that the oatmeal container you open every morning when you make breakfast could be turned into a camera? Or that the mint tin sitting on your desk is capable of creating stunning images? In Pinhole Cameras, photographer and pinhole aficionado Chris Keeney shows you how to transform basic household containers—a shoebox, a coffee can, a matchbox—into amazing photographic devices.

Focusing on over two hundred plants, this guide assists the gardener in creating gardens of self-sustaining beauty.

Did you know you can make your own camera, and create striking images, for next to nothing? Pinhole cameras have existed since the 19th Century, and use a tiny hole instead of a lens to make pictures on film that can be processed in the normal way. The results have amazing qualities, and in Build Your Own Paper Camera, one of the world's leading pinhole photographers shows you how to make your own paper pinhole cameras using the unique camera templates on the disc and step-by-step instructions - you can even learn how to turn your digital SLR into a pinhole camera!

This book traces progress in photography since the first pinhole, or camera obscura, architecture. The authors describe innovations such as photogrammetry, and omnidirectional vision for robotic navigation. The text shows how new camera architectures create a need to master related projective geometries for calibration, binocular stereo, static or dynamic scene understanding. Written by leading researchers in the field, this book also explores applications of alternative camera architectures.

"Even in the age of digital, we can have plenty of creative fun the low-tech (and low-cost) way: by building cool paper cameras and exploring the fascinating world of pinhole photography. Justin Quinell takes photography back to its roots by demonstrating how to create attractive pinhole cameras which actually work. Instead of a lens, these cameras have a very tiny hole that focuses every point of light passing through it onto paper, thus imprinting the image permanently. A CD-ROM, included with the book, contains seven templates for making the cameras; the guide provides directions and advice on shooting successful, artistic pinhole photographs in many different conditions. Both beginning and experienced photographers will find these eye-opening."--Global Books in Print.
