I made this pinhole camera a couple years ago, but when I first tested it I wasn't completely satisfied with the results I was getting. So recently I decided to pull the pinholes out and replace them with new copper pinholes. I also added magnet tape shutters to make it easier to open and close each of the 5 apertures. I'll update this page with new images as I continue to test and use this camera. I also want to note that this camera has a tripod mount on the bottom of the camera, but I found it to be a little unstable and caused the camera to shake when opening and closing the shutters. So I decided to use the large Pony tripod clamp (see more on that here) instead, which worked perfectly.

After creating a few test prints and getting some decent results, I started to think of creative potential this camera has. It's like the camera has it's own built in Photoshop software that automatically blends each exposure together. Of course a cold beer in hand always makes testing out a new pinhole camera all that much more enjoyable ;)
This five (5) pinhole lunch box paper negative photo was created by my son Colin. I'm not sure which pinhole's he opened and closed, but I really like the image he created.
