Ready for WPPD 2016

Ready for WPPD 2016
I made this simple camera today to get ready for World Pinhole Photography Day on April 24th.

The camera uses a curved plane for 8x11, 7x11 or 6x11 inch photo paper, and has selectable rise ( or fall if you turn the camera upside down ). The camera is just a black foamcore box. The curve is formed by a mat board insert, and the paper snaps into place when loading; no need for tape or worry about paper slipping in a makeshift holder. On the right you can see the pinhole is mounted on a piece of mat board that can slide up or down. When it is all the way down it is centered for 8x11 paper. The pencil arrows mark the highest it can go without the corners of the paper vignetting. The pinhole was made in a piece of aluminum from a drink can, and is about 0.38mm. Hope to use this camera on WPPD.

WxHxD is 9 x 8 x 4.5 inches

i'd never thought of using foamcore to make a camera with. that's a really great idea. i'd nearly forgotten that wwppd was this month until seeing your post about it!

Love the camera too, and it answered my question partially as to the nature of your pinhole.....so it wasnt a bought one.
