Pin Hole aka Heart Hole Photography - DIY

Felt very bored on this Sunday evening. That’s when I saw this article on Photography.


Pinhole Photography:

In that, I liked the concept of Pinhole Photography very much. It’s basically, creating a pin hole in your lens cap or pasting a pin holed cardboard or paper in front of the lens so that you get your image inside a hole in your frame.

Heart Hole Photography:

I thought of giving it a try. But, with a little twist. Heart in the place of pinhole <3. I can’t afford to lose my lens cap for the sake of this. So, I decided to try using paper.

Things needed:

1)  Paper
2)  Rubber band
3)  Bright color sketch
4)  Knife or scissors

STEPS:

I will try to jot down on how it went in steps.

STEP 1: Take a white paper, place it over the lens and press the paper on the edge of lens so that you get a trace of round shape in your paper.

STEP 2: Take the paper down. Draw a Love symbol on the centre of that traced circle. And color it. I chose green since at least in the paper I can get a green signal.

STEP 3: Color the whole traced circle to green or whatever color you like leaving the inside space of Love symbol undisturbed.

STEP 4: Now, get a knife or scissors (I used pin hook) and cut out the heart part from the paper.

STEP 5: Now, place this over the lens again and do adjustment to position the heart in whatever place you want in the frame.

STEP 6: Take the rubber bands and put them over the paper (see below for clear picture)






So, everything is ready and good to rock :)

This is how taking photos using this technique looked like:



Some of images which I took using this so-called-heart-hole-photography-technique ;)







NOTE: I did this very roughly without any professional intention. But, if you want a professional touch, try using a cardboard with cello tape. And instead of rough edges in Love symbol (like mine), try cutting with sharp edges for a perfect touch. And last but not least, unleash your creativity for best effects :) <3
