Step 2Step 1 ~ Prep the Cap
To make our pinhole rig we'll need a small (not tiny) hole the center of the body cap.
Find the Center of the Cap
Use your ruler to draw a small line across the center of your cap. Rotate the cap a bit (about 90 deg) and draw another small line across the center of your cap. Where these two lines intersect is the center.
Drill Out the Center of the Cap
Use your drill to make a small (about 1/8in) hole where your two lines intersect.
Clean Up Your Hole
Use your fine sand paper to clean up the inside of the hole, as well as the area around the hole.
Be sure to get all the dust off the cap from this sanding as it will end up in your camera and maybe on your sensor!
