A Few Beers

Here’s my first shots with the beer can pinhole cameras. The 4×5 film wraps around the inside of the beer can pretty tight and so there is a lot of distortion because the film plane is curved. I found the vintage cans at a garage sale and they work much better than a modern beer can because they are more sturdy and I can use a can opener to get the top off to put in the film. Here’s a few shots from the Wisconsin Capitol.

The cans loaded up with film and sealed with electrical tape.

How do you put a beer can on a tripod? With a custom made head and some rubber bands.
