Ilford Direct Positive Discontinued

I placed an order at Adorama for some direct positive paper months ago. Just received an email that it has been discontinued. What a massive disappointment. I just recently got into pinhole photography and have been wanting to try it. Looks like I’ll have to mess around with regular paper.

“We strive to keep our website and inventory information as accurate and up to date as possible. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we were recently notified by the manufacturer that the item included in your order has been discontinued and is no longer available for us to obtain or fulfill.

[OC] Natural pinhole camera effect during the solar eclipse, created by a chestnut tree in Galicia (Spain)

With the invaluable help of the chestnut leaves and the house facade, I captured this unique moment without any phone filters.

The leaves acted as a natural pinhole camera, projecting dozens of tiny crescents of the solar disc onto the wall.

📍 Location: Umia Valley, Galicia

Digital pinhole camera?

Hello! I am quite new to photography in general, and I'd like to experiment with a pinhole camera but:
- I can't buy photographic paper or chemicals right now;
- I'd prefer not to develop the photos at home as of now;
- Don't want to try it with regular film too (for now).

I saw somewhere that it's possible to do pinhole cameras but with digital instead, but I am not sure how because all tutorials I see are traditional pinhole cameras, developing the negatives at home.
I was wondering if it's possible to modify a 10-20$ cheap no brand digital camera/toy camera I can get at eletronic stores, or get and modify a 10-20$ old second hand digital camera from the 2000s, or even modify one of my spare Kodak Charmera clones from Aliexpress (G6 Thumb Camera), and try pinhole photography that way?

Any ideas?

Everything I see on the internet involves doing the development at home (which I totally understand but I can't do it at this point in my life) or using normal film and develop it at a film store (which I won't have access to right now, I wish I could experiment with outside pinhole cameras with tin cans and normal paper too, but of course it's impossible), so I'd like to know if there's anything else I could experiment with, using a cheap camera or modifying one, or point me to a tutorial?

thanks

Solar eclipse pinhole camera, is longer better for a bigger image?

A 95% is solar eclipse will be visible in the UK today. I can't get viewing glasses at short notice. (eBay cancelled my order last week). If I make a pinhole viewer from a cereal box, will the orientation of the box matter. If I make it long ways, pinhole at the top projecting onto the bottom will this give a bigger image than making the hole in the side? I want to make it on the side so I have a larger space to make sure the sun hits the hole and is not obscured by my big head.

Hello, world!

Just got my first pinhole camera and am excited to explore this! Going to be doing a lot of reddit and internet digging, but if anyone's got some first timer advice at the ready, I'm all ears!

The “telephoto” pinhole camera and a couple more pics.

The shutter release is just a home made lens cap on the tube. The exposure times are so slow that the minimal amount of shake from removing it and replacing it doesn’t matter. got the tripod at a charity shop and the box is scrap wood, like all my cameras. I really want to enlarge one of the pics but need to remake the camera so it’s casting a perfect circle.
