Make your own camera out of paper!
There are cheap projects, and then there are Cheap projects. This is one of the latter, no doubt. In this project, we aren’t modifying a camera, we’re building one completely from scratch! And is that wasn’t enough, you can do so with some tape, some paper, a paperclip… You get the picture: Just stuff you have kicking about the office.
There is no reason a camera shouldn’t be made out of paper, as long as the paper is light-proof. So basically: Get some heavy-duty (black) paper, and make a camera out of it. Sounds a bit daunting, doesn’t it? But it’s perfectly doable, and to help you on your way, Lighthouse in a Tree have created a PDF template, downloadable from their website.
As if that wasn’t enough, they have also created a flash-based instruction video!
I’m definitely giving this a shot this week-end.
Thanks to Photography Jam for the tip!
