[pinhole-discussion] Re: New zone plate image (Colin Talcroft)
Hi Colin, The image is great, Thanks for sharing. You still try the nude pinhole photo with a zone plate? Have you even try to multi-flash the model with a flash light of which a brown filter is mount and shot with a color film? It look like a sepia tone b/w photo. I took many zone plate photo in this few months, I fould the beautiful halo effect is more easily to achieve if using color film.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] New zone plate image
Colin Very nice work!! I thought the image was reminiscent of Jan Groover's work, but even more romantic due to the zone plate effects. I too would like to see some work in color. I believe that I am going to have to give zone plate photography a try. Thank you. Happy Trails, Kurt Norlin

[pinhole-discussion] New zone plate image
Hello list, Finally getting settled in a new house to the extent that all my cameras are out of boxes and I found all my film too. Was making some lemon juice and soda water early this morning when the sun came streaming through the kitchen window. Got out a camera and created a photograph, if anyone cares to have a look. It's at http://www.sonic.net/~talcroft/PinholeSite/Kifeandlemon.html (Use the Back button at the bottom of the page if you care to see older images.) Its a scan (unmanipulated, so very true to the original) from a 4x5 Polaroid print on Polapan Pro 100 at 2 seconds. The zone plate has a four-inch focal length. I was rather pleased with this. My first zone plate success in a long time. Comments welcome. Colin (Thanks for your encouragement, Tina.) __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Re: [pinhole-discussion] HELP!I need some information
Kami, If I remembers correctly, the 110 cartridge is basically a smaller version of the 126. In that respect, to make a pinhole camera from a 110 cartridge you just need to follow similar procedure as the one for 126. I'd suggest you buy a 110 cartridge and examine it. About the only thing you may have to figure out is how to advance the film. Last time I had a 110 cartridge in my hands was in 1978 and just don't remember how the advance mechanism works. It may turn out to be similar to the one of a 126 cartridge. Something else you could do is to muy a 35mm disposable camera, remove the lens and the shutter mechanism, install a pinhole in place of the lens. Optically this will work better than a 110 pinhole camera, as the film size will be considerable bigger. Guillermo - Original Message - From: Mark Jensen family To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???

What is the Tachihara or Woodfield or whatever the name is that seems to resemble a Finney? (Actually, I thought that Finney had stopped making them. Am I wrong?). Tachihara makes wooden flatbed viewcameras (often called field cameras). These are full view cameras with movements. They are imported by several different companies under a variety of names. At one point Calumet, Horseman, Adorama, and a couple of other companies imported them and sold them under the Tachihara name or rebadged them with their own name. At one point Calumet acutally suggested mounting a lens on the Finney camera because it used the same size lens board as their cameras. That never made much sense to be since their camera (at least the rebadged Tahihara, not the Zone VI) was much less expensive than the Finney (which had limited/no movements). Finney also made pinhole/zone plate turrets on a four inch square lens board, but these were also very expensive. -- Brian Reynolds | Dee Dee!

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Zero2000 at Calumet
Thanks, Brian, very interesting. Seems like it would be pretty easy to make a bar the right size with three tripod mounts (one for the tripod) to solve the alignment problem.

Not much of a problem for a pinhole stereo camera, but flash sync is very useful for a lens stereo camera. This is especially true given the small apertures used by Medium Format (as opposed to 35mm stereo) and for the large depth of field used in stereo. Before anyone asks, you can not use one flash on each camera. If you do so each camera will record different shadows that will look wrong when you view the stereo pair. 2) No shutter sync. Again not much of a problem for a pinhole stereo camera given the long exposures, but with a lens stereo camera you want shutter sync so that you can capture subjects with any amount of movement. For still subjects you can get away with two cable releases pressed together. If you get good at it you can capture slow moving subjects with two cable releases. 3) No control sync. Stereo requires shooting twice as much film and gives you the opportunity to make more than twice as many mistakes. You have to make sure the aperture, shutter speed, focus and film advance are all done in sequence for both cameras. This would still be a problem for a stereo pinhole camera (at least film advance would be). 4) Alignment is a problem. You need to keep both cameras parallel to each other. Most commercially available brackets do not have any method of maintaining camera alignment. There are custom brackets for sale within the stereo community, but they are for pairing smaller 35mm cameras. Separate cameras do have one advantage.
