My blender pinhole camera is essentially a cookie tin with three pinholes. The camera accommodates medium format roll film (120 or 220). The film is wound around a spindle in the center of the tin. Each pinhole can be opened individually. Images from the three pinholes are blended together and are distorted due to the curved surface of the film. The results are always surprising and sometimes delightful.

The photographs in this gallery were captured with one of my pinhole cameras:

* Zero image teak medium-format  wide-angle pinhole.

* Medium format wooden pinhole adjustable from wide angle to telephoto - made by Nikola Dyulgyova.

* Noon Kingston wooden large-format pinhole.

* Pinhole camera I made by hand.

The black and white images in this gallery were captured using one of the following pinhole cameras:

* Zero image teak medium-format  wide-angle pinhole.

* Medium format wooden pinhole adjustable from wide angle to telephoto - made by Nikola Dyulgyova.

* Noon Kingston wooden large-format pinhole.

* Pinhole camera I made by hand.

These panoramas were captured using either my ONDU wooden pinhole camera - a work of art in itself - or a pinhole camera 3D-printed for me by a friend as a gift. Both take exquisite photographs. The 3d-printed camera is my usual choice for taking along on extended hikes into the wilderness because it is sturdy, light, and easy to load in the field.
