My first pinhole image ever

This is the first pinhole image I made in 2001:I had build a wooden pinhole camera and loaded it with photographic paper. Exposure 30 seconds. The camera is made of Afzelia wood (from Africa), size 11 x 11 x 11 cm. The negative size is 10 x 10 cm. The pinhole was made out a soda can (size 0,3 mm). I had a lot of fun building it. And I was very pleased that my first test shot (picture above) was a success. The beginning of a pinhole building carreer??

very nice. it took a lot of skill "in the old days" to set the focus, set the f-stop, frame the image, and get this all done before things changed in the viewfinder. and of course, if you messed up on anything, you didn't know about it until the picture was developed.
