Photographers photograph in varying degree for (a) the experience
or for (b) the images. When you photograph for the experience, the emphasis is
on the process itself – the pleasure of the making a pinhole camera, the pleasure
of planning pictures, and the pleasure of making pictures with a simple device.
When you photograph for the images, the emphasis is mainly on the result. >>> Professional

Pinhole photography is lensless photography. A tiny hole replaces
the lens. Light passes through the hole; an image is formed in the camera. >>> History
Photo
Sir David Brewster, a Scottish scientist, was one of the first
to make pinhole photographs, in the 1850s. He also coined the very word "pinhole",
or "pin-hole" with a hyphen, which he used in his book The Stereoscope,
published in 1856. Joseph Petzval used the term "natural camera" in
1859, whereas Dehors and Deslandres, in the late 1880s, proposed the term "stenopaic
photography". In French today "stenope" is used for the English
"pinhole". In Italian a pinhole camera is called "una fotocamera
con foro stenopeico". In German "Lochkamera" and "Camera obscura"
are used. The Scandinavian languages tend to use the English "pinhole"
as a model – "hullkamera"/"holkamera"/"halkamera",
though "camera obscura" is also found, and is the term preferred by
myself in Norwegian. >>> |
