Records of the natural optical phenomenon of the “camera obscura” pinhole image date back as far as 500 B.C.E. Between the 16th and 19th centuries, it was commonly used as a drawing aid. Artists would ...

Looking for a project to kill the winter months while you wait for a vaccination? Why not try making a pinhole attachment for your analogue or digital SLR? The pinhole camera is the simplest ...

Researchers use laser light to form a tiny “optical pinhole” inside a nonlinear crystal, which also turns the infrared image into a visible image that a traditional silicon-based camera sensor can ...

Scientists have developed a lens-free mid-infrared camera using a modern twist on pinhole imaging. The system uses nonlinear crystals to convert infrared light into visible, allowing standard sensors ...

Pinhole photography is an analog technique that uses a small aperture — a "pinhole" — and a light proof container to capture wonderfully dreamy-looking images. April 26 is Worldwide Pinhole ...

The thought of making your own camera may sound daunting. Today, a camera is seen as highly technical and expensive machine. But at its most basic, a camera is simply a box with a hole in it, and ...

We’ve seen pinhole camera builds before, but this new one looks interesting. The Scura is a new open-source design for a pinhole camera that shoots on analog 35 mm film. It is all 3D printable except ...

The camera market is filled with materials from plastic to magnesium alloy but the Ondu III is made (mostly) from wood. Returning after two successful Kickstarters, Ondu is back with a new series of ...

Researchers have used the centuries-old idea of pinhole imaging to create a high-performance mid-infrared imaging system without lenses. The new camera can capture extremely clear pictures over a ...
