How cool.. I was wandering on Stumbleupon or whatever its called and saw this piece on a guy who does pinhole shots using an eggshell...he coats the inside of the shell with a liquid emulsion and then uses the shell as a camera obscura.. it was pretty cool.. the images were on the inside of theshells.. never saw anything like it [link]

This is exactly why I'm experimenting with this at the moment, I was going to give that a go a bit later in the year

It's pretty neat. I feel like if I wanted to take a shot of something interesting, someone would vandalise the camera.

Did you coat the can with film? What process did you use?

Photosensitive paper only. If I used film, an exposure as long as this would destroy it.

Hmm... I have some of that. Very old black-and-white stack.

It's great as I don't need to play with chemicals to fix it, I just scan it then throw it out.

unfortunately if it were to be processed via chemicals as usual, it would destroy the image. So I have to scan it. But as the image isn't fixed chemically, when scanning the image is erased anyway through the strong scanner light. So it's gone either way.

I really want to experiment with niche analogue photography, but haven't really the budget for such endeavours.

This is a tin can with cheap photo paper, and you literally do nothing except duct tape it somewhere and forget about it.

It's very hard to get supplies for analogue photography here in my country; so I'd have to order it from abroad, which raises the price considerably.
