THE CAMERAS ARE UNDER TEST

On Wednesday the ACE cardboard cameras were loaded up with AGFA photographic paper and given a test exposure to check for light leaks and to determine the correct shutter timing.

A guesstimate was made at 2 minutes and this proved to be spot on for most of the cameras.

There were a few issues with camera movement and a couple had minor light leaks but a few strips of black gaffer tape soon put paid to that problem.

We received a call from the local ABC who will be publishing an article on their website about our involvement in this years World Pinhole Day event.

I think everyone who has ever made a pinhole camera will agree that it's a great way to get a better understanding of how cameras work.    
See your image appear in the developing tray provides much more satisfaction than see it flash up on the LCD screen on the back of a digital camera.

We're all looking forward to Sunday to take our photos, develop the negs and uploading them
to the international website.
