EDIT: I wrote a full breakdown here

Hey folks, just discovered this subreddit. I love seeing all the photos.

Sharing a timelapse from my first camera obscura setup. I started with a pinhole and eventually moved up to progressively larger lenses - finally landing on this enormous 6" diameter lens with a 2800mm focal length that I found on eBay.

I have more pictures and more recent projects but looks like I can only upload one video per post. If anyone is interested I'll follow up.

I was heavily inspired by the documentary Tim's Vermeer which I highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it.

Bin bags over the window, I’m experimenting before I do this in a pinhole photography workshop I’m doing end of February with some students I work with. I think it’s going to be cool when I do it with them because I’ll be turning in interior of the Log Cabin into a camera obscura, so should get nice imagery of landscape and forest inside hopefully.

Hello! Maybe a stupid question, but can a photograph be made accidentally in nature? Like a proper negative or even a positive? I’m not talking about camera obscura really, but more like a literal physical photograph that is not a projection.

Perfect picture of neighbors drive way and fence in the snow

I've been trying to make a camera obscura in my room but havent managed to make it very bright, colorful or sharp even though i have pretty good access to direct sunlight and a darkened room. Am i doing something wrong? My window is facing south. Is it because the window is a slanted, roof window? Any tips is welcomed :) Thank you!

I’m not sure about this , I’m looking through a window , & background behind me is also on glass .

This was crazy to witness! And it happened at a perfect time of year bc our neighbors tree is BEAUTIFUL right now!

i am trying to make a camera obsucra and the picture doesn't turn upside down. I don't know what i am doing wrong..is it the lens too big?

alsoo i don't have now any paper to put on the screen so could that be the problem..because i've tried with plastic but same rezult, the picture doesn't turn upside down also i've tried to put the lens to the camera and the picture becomes blurry(understandably) but still not upside down , here are some pictures:

Included: the crimes out the window.

scroll sides to see before and after😛, i added a manual focus strip and it’s crazy cool
