At the meeting on May 27, participants will get acquainted with the theory and analog technology of photography, as well as create with their own hands a real camera - a pinhole - a photographic apparatus without a lens, the role of which is played by a small hole.
Pinhole technology, which uses the principle of the camera obscura, was widespread at the dawn of the era of photography, and got a second wind in the 1960s with the spread of photographic film. The advantages of such cameras are the simplicity of self-production, miniature size and specific effect on the image. It is ideal for soft landscape shots.
