If you are poor and lazy like me, you can still have a sweet home theater lighting setup. No wiring, no cutting sheetrock. The electronics are available at x10.com for under $100, and the can lights are $15, available at some Home Depots.

Didn't wanna start a new thread for this so bumpin' this one. :)

Recently finished building a pinhole camera. This one was just a prototype, just to see where my woodworking skills happen to be (fairly low, apparently.)

Started with the front and rear boards:


Sides and some interior work with flat black paint to prevent reflection:


And completed:


The camera uses 4"x5" large format film. For those not familiar with pinehole cameras, there's no glass lens. Just a thin bit of metal with a tiny hole in it. Despite that, images are pretty clear and the depth of field is nearly infinite.





I'm getting ready to start on another using the lessons learned from this one. Might make a separate thread for that one. :)

I've made loads of those in the past. Gotta get around to doing a 10x8 sometime. Your images are super crisp, did you buy a lasercut pinhole?

Oh, and if you've got any pics of your cameras, I'd love to see 'em. Always looking for inspiration. :) I'm about to start another one. I just need to go get the wood for it this weekend.

Gave them to my local college a few years back. Going to cheat and create a pinhole front to my large format camera though.
