Inspired by @sirch "Tin Can Selfies", I have my own pinhole project on the go at the moment (results will appear here honest!) so recently, I started to listen to the Homemade Camera podcast and I follow Graham on Flickr.

Hence finding out about this fab and free resource/interesting read: http://homemadecamera.com/the-zine/

Just thought I'd share.

Great stuff Ian, just don't use a pot noodle pot :banghead:

Great site, I hadn't seen that
 
God I wish you hadn't posted that link, from there I went to their flickr, which got me to a youtube video of a guy making his own lens

Now I'm sat here thinking "I could do that"

And it's ALL YOUR FAULT :D

They're quite a mad bunch. Looks like you're in good company. :)
Anyway, I blame you for my latest project...
 
Just finishing setting up my work shop and giving serious consideration to building a sliding box camera.

Or failing a design on t'internet this has several, from my bookshelf dated 1918.

I have a small collection of old engineering and DIY books, I must have a look through at camera designs.

I do know they contain details for making your own x-ray machine! and a home made aqualung :eek: what could possibly go wrong
