| A few of last years pinholes cameras. |
Last year we constructed our own ACE cameras at our darkroom/workshop and they proved to be very good performers. This year some members have been hard at work in their sheds building a wide range of cameras from micro right up to 10x8 so it's time go for variety at this years event,
A well constructed large format camera is capable of producing a surprisingly sharp image right up to A3 size prints using expired paper negatives with some sharpening and contrast added in post processing.

Light leaks, chemical stains and other 'defects' actually add character and something of a unique hand made feel to a photograph made with a good pinhole camera.
Pinhole photography provides a great insight into the principles of traditional photography and is a great way to escape today's digital world and have a bit of creative fun with the very basics.
