This is the first camera I made out of a matchbox, two rolls of film, tinfoil and a weird looking nail think to turn the film.
It was very easy to make and I have developed two films out of it. They weren't very successful, mostly over exposed. I have yet to make any prints out of them, but hopefully I will learn how to do that, so I will have something to show.
The first film I took, I reckon the hole was to big and my exposure time was way to long, there are only about two visible images on the whole film. The second film I made the hole smaller and shortened my exposure time. Its a lot less black than the other one but I cant really make out whats going on in them, I wont really know till I make prints I suppose. Its a very tedious thing. I think the camera in itself turned out pretty cool though even though the images it has taken may have not.
