Roblar de la Miseria

First "successful" exposure from homemade 8x10 foamcore camera. Paper negative, no filter. f/64, 2s. Windy. 5.3 x 9 inch window mat on 8x10 paper keeps some of the spirit of the 1914 Kodak 3A this lens came from.

, have particularly liked this photo

This is a great landscape view, I like it very much. Just curious, though: What is a foamcore camera? I never heard that term in any context. Is it something like a pinhole camera?

Hi Detlev, Thank you. It is a simple homemade box camera. Really just a box with a lens on one end and a place to put the paper negatives on the other end. I made the box from black foamcore material, which is light, strong, cheap and easy to work with. The lens came off an old Kodak folding camera and I am using inexpensive picture frames as "film holders". So far it is a lot of fun!

Hi Ned, thanks for the explanation. It's marvellous, what kind of pictures one can take with a homemade camera. Maybe I should try to build my own cameras, too. The other day ... ;-)

An easy way to start is with simple pinhole cameras. One of my favorites is not much more than a simple coffee can.
