It's not even a good pinhole photo, one advantage of pinhole photography is that most things come out relatively sharp as long as you get your focal length right within a few percent. This suggests they've deliberately made their lovely thing shittier on purpose. e: it *might* be motion blur but it hadn't occured to me anyone would be stupid enough to try and handhold a >1s exposure.

There was a "Take a B&W photo every day for a week" thing going around Facebook recently so my FB feed was flooded with bunches of horrible bland photos for days and days and days. Apparently no one told my friends that there's more to B&W photography than taking a colour photo of a random object and putting it through a desaturation filter.

I wonder how many black and white film photographers cheat and take a digital photo to see how it'll turn out, then take the same shot on film. Edit: Actually, a film/digital camera could work as a kickstarter.

This suggests they've deliberately made their lovely thing shittier on purpose. The membrane the pinhole is in has to be very thin. Pinhole shots never actually get sharp because you can't focus without a lens, but if the hole is very small and the membrane is very thin, you wind up with practically infinite depth of field and diffraction doesn't blur things too much. So black paper makes a bad pinhole camera but gold leaf makes a good one. I'm guessing this one falls closer to the black paper side of things.

So black paper makes a bad pinhole camera but gold leaf makes a good one. I'm guessing this one falls closer to the black paper side of things. Well I did say "relatively sharp". Also have no idea whatsoever why I said "focal length" because the whole point is that it's got an infinite focal length (well not really but YKWIM). I think I knew in the back of my head something had to be right and focal length was the only thing that came into my brain, you've filled in the right info. Anyway I get sharper focus than that with my cheap little cardboard-and-wood actual pinhole camera, which is the real point I was trying to make. e: "infinite focal length" is also not at all what I meant to say but I can't remember what the actual term is and I think I'm going to go and lay down for a little while.

Back in high school when I started shooting film, I sometimes used a cheap point and shoot to see how the lighting looked in camera because film cost money and the digital shot didnt, but after a few years it was superfluous because you can get good lighting and know how the end product looks by experience. A camera like that sounds like it would be an interesting starter camera for people to learn how to shoot black and white properly and learn how shots have to be set up differently when in BW vs color. Problem is the kickstarter version would probably be hugely overpriced, so not something you'd want to get for a kid who has expressed an interest in photography

isoprenaline posted:At least she is honest... It's like someone told a pintrist mom that she so crafty and talented, she could make these for money and she believed them. It's bizarre. I remember my grandma folding napkins into flowers and birds 40 years ago, this isn't at all a new idea. Now this lady is going down to Hobby Lobby (or more likely the dollar store) to get packs of coloured napkins and spangles to resell. To other adults, as a legit home decor choice. She missed the mark there, should have marketed it as a fun craft activity for little girls. It would go real well well with the "make your own ugly plastic jewellery' kits. Huge market for stupid kids craft kits.

I think the point of them is that you use from them. So that fancy toilet paper flower in the bathroom? You take those flowers and wipe your rear end with them. And then I assume the host will run out and restock the flower right away? Or just have a flower that is missing pieces? Also curious on the laser razor...

Uh you're adding fertilizer man, they're obviously going to grow into more toilet paper flowers. This is like, basic toilet paper botany dude.
