Arturo Fuente Exquisitos Cigar Box Pinhole Camera Photographic P
Arturo Fuente Exquisitos wooden cigar box pinhole camera that uses photographic paper for its negatives. Sliding chipboard shutter. The blue and red tape get moved to a different spot on the box after an exposure has been made so I don’t accidentally double expose the negative. I like this particular cigar box because it has a metal clasp on the lid to make sure the box stays closed. You would think that’s not an issue, but when you’re out and about with these kinds of cameras you want to make sure the box doesn’t accidentally open in transit or in your bag. Since this box is smaller than a 5×7 inch piece of photographic paper, I pre-cut them in the darkroom to squares and use painters tape doubled over to adhere them to the bottom of the box. It seems to work perfectly. I just change the tape when it gets old.
