Handbuilt Pinhole

A pinhole camera is a camera without a lens. By using the camera obscura effect, light passes through the small hole in the front of the camera and an inverted image is projected on to film. The pinhole is very precisely drilled into aluminum and the diameter of circle is measured. In order to determine the aperture you divide the focal length, which is the distance between the opening and the film surface, by the diameter. Once you find the aperture there are ways to meter the estimated exposure time. A Heineken can and box was used in the construction of the camera therefore to keep things uniform I shot from varying perspectives of a local bar where the object itself would have been stored or served.
