Ed, you might try the MACO 820IR film. It's sensitive to higher nanometers than the other spiked red films. It also comes in 120 and 4x5. I recently shot some in my Fuji 6x9, using an 87 IR filter. Long exposures, but very nice. And the film is pretty fine-grained in Rodinal. I haven't yet used any in my 4x5, but intend to very soon. I use a pinhole in a recessed lensboard, set for about 50mm. I think the MACO is going to do very nicely, even if it isn't HIE.

Because most digital cameras are CCD, they have little lenses over the tops of each of the sensors, so are they authentically pinhole cameras? Guess it's a matter of theology. I've routinely shot several second exposures with digital cameras (not pinhole) without horrible noise problems, and you can remove a lot of noise in photoshop anyhow. Many of the infrared camera experiments in the digital world (you have to remove the infrared filter glass that sits on top of the CCD, replace it with other clear glass of exactly the same thickness) are many-second exposures. I've been craving pinhole with infrared imaging capability, difficult with Kodak now only producing 35mm infrared film. Perhaps pinhole digital is the way to go. -----Original Message----- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???????

Hi Robert, Look at: http://www.pinholeday.org/gallery/2002/index.php?id=370 There may be one or two other digital images in the gallery; but, this is the one that stuck in my mind.

Surely someone out there has already done this?? _______________________________________________ Post to the list as PLAIN TEXT only - no HTML Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??????? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.???????/discussion/ _______________________________________________ Post to the list as PLAIN TEXT only - no HTML Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??????? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.???????/discussion/
