Polaroid + Pinhole = Pinholaroid

polapin.jpg

polapin.jpgA lot of pinhole photography stuff recently, but that’s because it’s cool, yo!

My old mate over at PhotoThoughts keeps coming up with these groovy, outlandish camera mods, and I love him for it: 

 

I picked up a Polaroid camera for $1 at a garage sale thinking I could add a pinhole and have a pinholaroid. I didn’t find any good online tutorials, and feeling confident after building my digital pinhole camera, I decided to figure it out as I went. Keep reading to learn how to turn a cheap Polaroid camera into a cheap polaroid pinhole camera…

Check it out, it’s worth a read, even if you have no plans building one of these yourself. On the other hand, you can pick up polaroid cameras for next to nothing nowadays – why not give it a shot?

Hey, thanks for the link! I am glad you enjoy my camera experiments! I backtracked to this entry after I saw my Polaroid experiment show up on MAKE. Thanks, again!

Wow, I’m going to have to try this one!
I drilled a hole in an old lense cap and attached a square of aluminum from a can with a pin hole on the inside and attached it to my slr. The results were pretty good.
