Teaching Son to Photo

[Bob Michaels]

This has me thinking about what I have wanted to do for the last year...build a camera obscura in the back yard for the kids. I just need a big enough cardboard box!😛

Dave: do not think in terms of a box. Think about a room with a good light blind and a tiny hole in the middle. Or, maybe a tiny hole in your garage door.

If you have to use a cardboard box, just make sure it is big enough to hold at least one grandkid inside.

Better idea! Yeah, a box is too much trouble.

Think I can cover the window in the guest bathroom and play around with various diameter holes to project across the little room to the back of the door.😎

Sounds like a very cool project. I happen to have a old house with a small garage and i use it as a workshop. maybe one day I will try something similar.

Or, you could get some friends involved and try to match this. It is the world's largest photo, 211 x 32 feet, made in a F-16 hangar converted into a pinhole camera.

Now that is an impressive feat of photography and engineering.

I'm not so sure that it "... marks the end of the film era and the commencement of digital photography."
