Dear Girl Scouts: I would like to help out the Girl Scouts of America.
I'm glad your experimenting with pinhole photography. I like to see more people using color negative film. There are several professional custom photo labs in your state that would process your film. I believe you said New York. I sort of skimed your message. I built a normal focal length 4x5 camera with an 0.018" hole with an f/360 aperture. With an ISO 100 film in bright sunlight you could use 4 seconds. When using color negatives if you over-expose a stop you will get a richer negative. Try 8 seconds. I have a booklet that I would like to give you, that explains the camera I built and information and history on pinhole photograph. I have one I would like to give to you free, if you respond. My e-mail is photoe...@aol.com. You can contact me by snail mail @ PHOTO-ED, Lonnie Paulson, P.O. Box 80305, Minneapolis, MN 55408. If you still have questions about labs, I can research some labs in your area. Anything else I can do for the Girl Scouts? I like those new oatmeal frosted cookies. Lonnie Paulson
