CoffeeCam: a Shutter for Large Format Pinhole Can Cameras
Description
Making A Pinhole Camera From A Can Or An Oatmeal Box Is A Traditional Exercise In Beginning Photography (See Links Below). Usually, The Cameras Produced Are Perfectly Workable, But Festooned With Abundant Gaffer'S Tape, And Use A Cumbersome Flap Of Tape As A Rudimentary Shutter. This Is A Shutter And Pinhole Clamp Designed To Be Fastened Onto A Small Coffee Can (Espresso-Sized) Or Similar. Used With Sheet Film Or Photographic Paper, This Kind Of Pinhole Camera Needs To Be Loaded With Fresh Film Or Paper (In The Dark!) For Every Exposure Additionally, The Shutter Assembly Can Be 3D Printed To Mount On A Flat Surface, Like A Cigar Box, Or On The Lid Of The Can For A Classic Anamorphic Pinhole Camera. Better Yet, Put Two Shutters On Your Container For Some Versatility! Include Is A Script To Generate Tripod Mounts For Both Flat And Curved Sides. As With The Shutter Assy, Change The Diameter Parameter To Fit Your Can. The Teacam Only Needs One Radiused Mount, And Is Intended For Anamorphic Photography Exclusively. . The Openscad Script 'Coffeecam.Scad' Is Easy To Modify For Your Chosen Cylindrical Container Or Flat-Sided Boxes.
