Children's Photo Day

Have you ever heard about a pinhole camera? Would you like to develop images in an darkroom?

The Children's Photo Day is organized the same day as Worlwide Pinhole Day, at the last Sunday in April.

Enthusiasts all over the world celebrates with the simplest camera in the world; a box with a tiny hole. 

We invite you inside the darkroom, and to paricipate in other photo-fun activities.

You'll find images from the last Children's Photo Day here.

To enter, buy a punch card on arrival.
Punch card all activities: NOK 50,-

Eksponeringstiden var 20 sekunder. Amaile stod på ett sted i 10 sekunder, og flyttet seg til et annet sted i 10 sekunder. Hun er litt spøkelsesaktig, men skoene synes ganske godt! Bildet er tatt med et mailngsbokskamera med Foma papirnegativ.
