Pinhole Camera

By : Amir Faisol and Friends

Pinhole Camera is a camera used by human being before found a camera having lens. Along with epoch progress, Pinhole Camera experience of the growth as according to requirement. in the last created a sophisticated with a principal as according to Pinhole Camera. In Jon Grepstad articl, the Pinhole Camera (KLJ)used for science, artistic and happiness (hobby). This camera represent the base from photography, photography coming from photo (light) and graphein (draw). So the photography is make the paint, drawing by using light. Base theory weared in KLJ that every object incured by a light surely bounce the shadow which can be under arrest by media. This matter is equal to that happened at our eye, human being can see because any light bound from a object which step into our eye through cornea distribute to a eyepiece than fall precisely in retina.


This camera can be made by unused tin, food box (hardboard), or object owning space and is not translucent. By base of Pinhole Camera is made from impervious substance of light having puncture its pullin shadow and a media (photo paper/film) as shadow arrester. In the following is shares and function from Pinhole Camera :

Camera Body/ Film Room

Like explanation before all that Camera body at Pinhole camera is made from ex-can, box, etc. If the camera is made from milk-can hence the film room of is interior of milk can. Function of film room is place for the save of film, usually the film placed in most shares far from position interpose light.

KLJ Lens
Lens of KLJ is a object (usually black pasteboard which sticked on foil allumunium made hole with needle).

Light Gap
Light gap at KLJ in the form of puncture (needle rough poke hole) which cannot formating again. The Light gap is pullin of light from outside into film room. If undersize made light hole hence light which enter will a few so that illumination time will sufficiently long. As a result picture which the was yielding of even also will become smallly. On the contrary, if made hole too big will cause illumination time progressively shorten. At this condition will be yielded by big picture.
