A pinole project

August 6th, 2013
Fascinating video which purports to use pinhole camera technology to project images of Paris onto walls of a room. Camera obscura it certainly is; it certainly is pinhole on a grand scale.

From Wiki: "Pinole is a Spanish translation of an Aztec word for a coarse flour made from ground toasted maize kernels, often in a mixture with a variety of herbs and ground seeds, which can be eaten by itself or be used as the base for a beverage. In southeastern Mexico and in Central America this food and beverage is known as pinol or pinolillo, considered the national beverage of Nicaragua." @grizzlysghost Not quite an Italian dessert (how to remember that dessert has 2 s's... it's the thing you want MORE of...)

@kyaboots Hiya Kya. Do you mean the Photography Institute http://www.thephotographyinstitute.co.uk/ ? If so, are you enjoying it? I got my diploma over a year ago now and consider it money well spent.

Yes I love it. I'm on mod 4 right now. Sometimes I find his lessons a bit dry and long winded, but after I do the assignments I have learned a lot. I def think its worth the monkey as I now shoot everything in manual and like the results soon much more. @steampowered

@kyaboots Nice to find someone else here who is doing / has done it. @myrabayly is a former PI student too. I see that you have got up to Module 4. Despite what people tell you, module 5 and the assignment is straightforward if you read the instructions carefully and stick to them. Good luck!
