[pinhole-discussion] Jeff Dilcher's photos - questions

2001-12-13 Thread Murray
Hello:

This is an analytical question, not a criticism.

On some of Jeff's photos (all very nice, by the way), I see a round central
region of brighter...uh, exposure, for lack of a more eloquent term.

Some don't have it.

Is that vignetting due, or is it the inverse quadratic or cubic diminution
of light intensity as a function of distance on a focal plane, as opposed to
a curved one like in an oatmeal cannister? Or what else would it be?

Thanks

Murray




[pinhole-discussion] Thanks VanDyke referrals and Garden City definitely not the one in Michigan!

Thanks for all the referrals to Van Dyke - Kallitype processes.

Happy Holidays

FYI, I wrote my NYU doctoral thesis on pinhole photography published in 1998. 
If you want to order a copy, call ProQuest at 734 761 4700 x7044

Photographers. The reproductions are not particularly good but the 
information may be interesting especially to newcomers to pinhole. Some of 
the key players in the field are discussed including our very own Leezy on 
the pinhole online discussion. regards, Renee

Try again, Peter.  Sometimes my hosting provider has problems, but it generally 
comes back up within minutes or an hour at the worst.  Sorry for the trouble.

I think the main blob of light in the sky really is the sun, and not
just flare, and the larger circle of light beneath it is the flare.  This 
picture was really more of a mistake that it came out interesting, rather
than a planned effort (like most of my pictures!).

 Fantastic!  The wild diffraction effect from the edges of the pinhole
 (which has been discussed at great length here in the past...) is a near
 perfect compositional element in the shot.  That's quite an achievement,
 considering that the effect usually doesn't show up untill AFTER the
 film is developed!  (Or was this done with an SLR where was enough
 light from the 'lens flare' for it to be visible in the viewfinder??)

[pinhole-discussion] First experience cutting 5 extra thin roll film in the dark.

2001-12-13 Thread Uptown Gallery
Suffice it to say my first darkroom experience in 20 years was a little
traumatic.

I laid the spool in the cannister lid as a stand and began pulling and the
momentum rolled the spool across the floor, knocking over the container I
was going to put a shorter length in. (I was working on the floor on a large
sheet of kraft paper luckily).

When I got home, I happened to notice the 'refrigerator poetry magnets' that
read:

I   am   angry   from   mad   mean   film   experiment (Karma?)

For anyone that doesn't know what refrigerator poetry magnets are - they are
a set of flexible sheet magnets with individual words printed on them - they
stick to ferrous kitchen appliances and your guests (or elves?) leave weird
little compositions when you aren't watching.

I survived, but next time I actually have to cut the film straight and make
it the right size for film holders.
