Recommended for experienced pinheads.


Review:
A great book for experienced pinheads.

Starting with showing the work of professional pinhole photographers and artists and how they modified or built their own cameras. The second half of the book gives technical aspects around the cameras previously used.

Perhaps a few more "how-to" descriptions wouldn't go a miss, nonetheless, a worthwhile read.

Recommended for experienced pinheads.

About the Author
John Evans is a photographer and writer who has been making cameras and associated equipment since the 1960s.

Book Description
Photography is driven by technological innovation, but Adventures with Pinhole and Homemade Cameras strikes off in a radically different direction.
Featuring the images of renowned artists and photographers, it describes a rich variety of imaginative approaches, using camera construction techniques which range in sophistication from precision engineering with state-of-the-art lenses to piecing a pinhole in a beer can!

Visual aspects of the book are complemented by an extensive practical section, including guidelines on image formation and step-by-step procedures for exposure control, as well as diverse methods of building and adapting camera bodies.
