Subject: [pinhole-discussion] pinholing underwater


I've been experimenting with underwater a bit using the paintcan cameras
because the plastic coating allows them to be filled with water and other
liquids (even b&w photo chemicals, you can develop the prints right in the
paintcan)...

after loading & securing a black tape shutter over the pinhole I fill the
camera with water to keep pool, lake or stream water from entering the
camera during exposure...

some problems you encounter:
- exposures are longer underwater
- visibility is limited, you need to shoot pretty close to the subject
- there is a lot of motion in water, which can shift the camera

advantages: really great patterns & light abstractions plus
lots of fun getting wet
