PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY
Pinhole photography uses basic materials in place of an expensively engineered camera. Using a pinhole as a lens and any light-tight box as a camera, you can produce wonderful wide-angle images with a unique quality.
MERLIN paintcan pinhole cameras can be used with both color or black & white films and papers. They are designed to create normal images plus pictures that exhibit a variety of special perspective effects. The pinholes are precision drilled in the center of the label. The shutter is magnetic. Each camera comes with instructions and a child-safe opener.
