Six Month Pinhole Exposure Made with a Beer Can

Inspired by a pinhole workshop taught by Justin Quinnell, UK based photographer Matt Bigwood created a a six month long exposure using a beer can converted into a pinhole camera. The setup is very simple - an empty beer can with the top removed and a hole made with a needle or pin, a card lid for the can held on with gaffer tape, and a sheet of 5”x7” black and white photographic paper inside. The curve you see is the sun’s path across the sky as distorted by the curve of the can.

  1. You can come up with something more creative through an unexpected events, just like the piece of art Justin showed us here. I guess, after doing some repairs on our fridge for these past few months now, I'll think something artistic about it, who knows, I'll maybe the next modern artist.

  2. Wow! That’s absolutely an example of being resourceful and creative! I do wonder if there also other appliances you could do out of beer cans.
