Where can I get {cheap} supplies to make my own pinhole camera?
Dr Fernando asked:
I would really like to make a pinhole camera, but I’m not sure where to get supplies for the actual camera, or the darkroom and developing stuff. Any help?

I used an old toilet paper core and a thin piece of aluminum foil with a whole poked in it using a sewing needle. Then using black tape, i sealed the bottom and sides of the core (except where the pin hole is) and made a cap for the top using the same black tape (not electrical tape).
Next i made a flap that covered the pin hole. Done. The tube uses 4×5 sheet film and the exposure in bright sun is 45 seconds using ISO 100 film. Sheet film can be developed using paper trays (in a pitch black room .. my modified bathroom)
The developing trays and timer were responsible for 90% of the setups cost.
