Juice Box Pinhole Camera

These are two exposures (one multiple exposures) of things I took with an identical camera I made. I used Kodak 200 Gold, I think. I haven't processed the ones from the camera pictured in the Instructable. They were both about 7 second exposures, so use that for a judge if you wish.

It will be very difficult for your local film processing place to make prints of these pictures, so it will be much more effective (and cheaper) if you ask for just the negatives to be processed.
Then scan them in with a negative scanner (or a regular scanner and some Photoshop skills).

If this project works out well for you, please FEEL FREE to go crazy and make some other weird pinhole extravaganza.

Medium format film? Why not?
Maybe use a cigarette box instead of a juice box?

Just have fun. Taking pictures is wonderful.

Good Luck!

Maybe you could attach a motor to the film reel and turn it into a juice box video camera hahaha. =]

how long should i expose the film (one photo) and how would i know when to stop unwinding the reel for a new shot? these are probably dumb questions, but i'm highly curious.

How about an adult juice box?! Ever made a camera with a wine box? Now just think of all of the fun you'd have emptying the box first! You might just say the heck with making the camera. Or think of how all of that adult juice would inspire photo taking : )
