The Space Koala Astrophotography by Luca Bartek
Not what I was expecting. 🤓
it's only like 3 weeks left until it's ready!
How fun! Hopefully the soda can still lives 😂 Reminds me of an assignment in art school — making and designing a pinhole camera using 4x5 sheet of negative film (I think). Making it light-proof was a lot of trial and error — mostly error hehehe
I also made a pinhole camera back in school. Needless to say it was a failure 😁 it’s very easy with this beercan, though a lot less entertaining too
What a view! Cool experiment! To be honest, on the thumbnail you looked like you were gonna shotgun a beer. I clicked the link pretty darn quick... 😂
@KingLoopie1 in my desperation to make this thing work I seem to have created the perfect clickbait?! 😂
Who's going to develop your photo paper? I have a working darkroom but it hasn't been used for 8 years, otherwise I'd volunteer...
their instructions are just to scan it real quick before it's ruined :D I didn't think about actually developing it
@the_space_koala OK, all photographic paper darkens in light (without development) if exposed a really large amount of sunlight. Maybe this will do that. Or it may be what is called "printing-out paper," which I didn't think was still made -- paper that darkens when exposed to a reasonable amount of light without development. Photographers in the 1940s used that for proofs, so the proofs could not be kept and used by the customer. Curious... Almost all pinhole photography is done with ordinary enlarging paper, which is then developed and fixed.
@michael.a.covington yes I’m pretty sure it will be gone shortly after opening the box. It’s regular photo paper. I didn’t consider developing, I don’t have access to a darkroom (I used to do some manual film development and enlargement but that was years ago)
You can almost certainly make it permanent with just fixer (not developer), in ordinary room light, followed by the usual washing.
@michael.a.covington thanks for the tip!
this thumbnail :D you could also hotglue it to a board but these insane cable ties will do just fine i guess
Eheheh you gotta screen shot the best moment! 😁 I guess the hot glue would’ve worked better
If you can suck that dent out..... your in the wrong job, you could be earing millions! 😂😂😂
You live in a beautiful place. Similar to where we live here in Wellington New Zealand with water and mountain views. I look forward to seeing your results, and I’m now doing a search to see if I too can get my hands on one of these : )
Thank you, yes I absolutely love it here in Switzerland! I had to order mine directly from the UK (got mine from first light optics - I think they ship everywhere) but also the company itself ships international I think! Worst case you can always build one - I didn’t try that for reasons that are obvious from this video 😂
@the_space_koala … hahaha
