We all know that the sun should rise in the East and set in the West, but this is not very accurate as the tilt in the axis of the Earth means that sunrise and sunset varies throughout the year by as much as 70 degrees in six months. So if you are planning for a future landscape photograph or a major project it would help to know where and when the sun will be rising or setting in six months time.

wonderful way of recapturing the pioneer spirit of early photography
while at the same time learning the photographic techniques that
modern 
electronic cameras have helped us overlook. We want to give you
the opportunity to join this fun hobby and to this end we are
introducing an extended range of cameras, produced under the Pinhole
Factory label and available exclusively through us.
We are very pleased to offer these new pinhole lenses as an alternative
to laser cut lenses. I think these are a more "natural" type of
manufactured pinhole as the etching process creates a saucer shaped
depression around the pinhole on both sides of the shim so you
do not have the tube effect that is made by the laser cutting
process. These pinhole lenses are available in five different
sizes in a 1cm disc: 0.1mm,0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm and 0.5mm. Also included
is a full instruction leaflet with a focal length/f-number chart
and suggestions for alternative types of pinhole cameras.The exposure
calculator which is enclosed is a great help for determining the
exposure for any type of pinhole camera.
is the latest version of the Pinhole Factory's Brass exposure
calculator. This can be used with any pinhole camera and any exposure
meter to calculate how long the exposure is with pinhole camera
or lens - it's a must for all pinhole photographers. All you need
to do is rotate the dial to your meter setting, then read off
the exposure time by your pinhole aperture. The calculator also
has a handy key ring so it can be attached to your camera case
or a set of keys.
New to our range is

cameras the opportunity to try pinhole photography with their existing
