LEGO has been used in many creative ways but we were really amazed by what Colorado State University student Ryan Howerter has done with a LEGO brick—he turned one into a functioning pinhole camera.
Howerter got his inspiration from the PinHolo, a Pine-Nut pinhole camera.
He took a single 2×2 stud LEGO brick and hollowed it out. Next, he placed photographic paper inside, exposed it and processed it to develop tiny black-and-white images.
As adorable as it may seem, it was actually quite challenging to process the photo as it was easy to under or overexpose the paper. “I think it was about a 10-second exposure for the one held by the minifig,” Howerter told Cnet.
