another camera obscura post

 once i regain the ability to bend over i want to get started on making another camera obscura and i'm going to use the plans that this guy has attached to this handy video. i ordered new magnifying glasses last week and they're waiting for use. i'm keen to make it old smartphone compatible, as previous, but i'm also aware, due to an acute lack of decent weather this year, my anthotype making has been non-existent and i'm wondering, with focused light, if i could put a sheet of reactive paper in there and get some sort of result. or a cyanotype? time will tell. 

camera obscura

 it was world photography day the other day (it was also world anthotype day but such has been the summer i haven't even made one image this year!) - i hadn't paid much attention but what i did do was make a camera obscura out of a box, an old phone and a horrible 'magnifying glass'. it worked, after a fashion, but i was intrigued enough that i'm going to give ity another go. here's the original video where i got the idea and then two more where it's done much more effectively!
