PinholePhotographers

Welcome to the shiny new PinholePhotographers group!

The group is intended to provide a home for the pinhole photographers of deviantArt. I know you are out there. I intend to prowl around and invite folks. All recent contributors to Pinhole-Camera have been sent invitations.

The group is a bit rough around the edges yet as I figure out how to manage a group in the new format. Admin functions are hidden in different places now.

What is a pinhole camera?

• A pinhole camera has no lens, just a tiny hole in front. It is the ultimate basic camera.

• Wikipedia has a helpful overview. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera/

Group folders:

• Featured - Please leave this for administrator use only.

• Film - Photographs created with analog cameras, both commercial builds and do-it-yourself builds.

• Digital - Photographs created with digital cameras modified for pinhole photography.

• Tools and Toys - Photographs of the pinhole cameras you use.

Submission policy:

• Group  members may post up to ten images each week. I  don't know about you,  but I know I pay more attention to an  individual's or group's posts  when they don't inundate me. Show us your  best work.

• Member submissions must be approved by an administrator. This is likely to change as time goes on.

• Please  include such camera and film information as you  know. We're a curious  bunch of addicts. (That sentence could be taken  in various ways, most  of them true.)

• Watermarks are fine so long as they do not deface the image. Images with the default dA watermark will be removed.

• Mature content is permitted.

Background:

• I have been nursing along the Pinhole-Camera group for several years without full administrative rights. It was time to move on.

• Pinhole-Camera is hereby declared defunct as of the end of 2023.

• I will be migrating the 2024 submissions over to PinholePhotographers.
