This project was created by the Contemorary Photography Group of Queen's Park Camera Club. We are a non competetive, arts based group and pursue techniques and projects removed from mainstream club work. The group was set the task of constructing their own basic camera and taking a set of images with it in recognition of Worldwide Pinhole Day 2008. The gallery below shows some of the images taken by the participating members.
What is the Worldwide Pinhole Photography day?
This is an international event created to promote and celebrate the art of pinhole photography. On this unique day, we encourage people throughout the world to take some time off from the increasingly technological world we live in and to participate in the simple act of making a pinhole photograph, share their visions and help spread the unusual beauty of this historical photographic process. Visit our website at http://www.pinholeday.org/
When is the Worldwide Pinhole Photography day?
The Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is held each year on the last Sunday in April. The next Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is on Sunday, April 28, 2013.
Why Pinhole Photography?
A unique personal experience! Pinhole photography allows you to make a photograph that requires only a light-tight container (box, can,...) with a tiny hole in one side (as a camera) and any photo-sensitive surface in it. You can adapt an existing camera or make the camera yourself.
The experience of image-making becomes a little more special when created with your own hand-made camera; so, we provide different instructions in making your camera on our Support page. With your own camera, infinite depth-of-field, skewed perspectives, and slower exposures, you may ultimately become more creative and more selective about what you choose to photograph. Magical things happen in pinhole photography...
