Pinhole Camera Project 2015 (Shutter Mechanism - Closed)
Shutter Mechanism:
The feature that I am most proud of is the internal shutter mechanism; this also proved to be the most challenging part of the camera to build. I thought that it would be neat to have a shutter mechanism that was not only triggered by a shutter release cable, but was also located inside the camera itself. To make this possible a number of design challenges had to be overcome such as making the mechanism small, simple, and reliable. Being limited to only two by six centimeters of space to accommodate the shutter, it was necessary to make the components only as large as needed. Reliability was also a major concern because the shutter is on the inside of the camera (behind the pinhole) this would make it difficult to repair in case of a malfunction.
