It's fairly easy to make pinhole cameras and I'm sure that some photographers and enthusiasts have created at least one of those 6x9 medium-format pinhole wonders that can have eight shots a roll. So, why not create a pinhole camera that has a wider field of view and high capacity at the same time? John of TeamDroid.com had a clever idea. Just by moving the pinhole closer to the film plane and rotating it to aspect 90 degrees, you can get as much as 30 images on a single roll of film and still get a pretty good sized negative.

As with any other Do-It-Yourself project, having notes and sketches is a good start-off point. Once you've put all your ideas into paper, you need to get the materials for the panoramic pinhole camera. John opted to use a black foam core for the project because it's very easy to work with it as it's light proof and relatively strong. Common white glue should be used because super glue dissolves the foam quite easily. It takes a certain amount of "gluing" skills to make sure the pieces don't fall apart. The only part wherein you need to be more precise is in creating the small rectangular box that holds the film away from the pinhole.

And when you're done putting the pieces together, you can start shooting away. Here's a typical result from the pinhole camera:
