Hi Gord, A very good idea. What focal length are you planning to use ? Ricardo. - Original Message - From: "Gordon J.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] closeup pinhole camera
Gordon, Sounds much like the Granview cameras- http://www.granview.com - an excellent idea to modify and use for pinhole. Don "Gordon J. Holtslander" wrote:Hi: Since things are quiet... I want to build something to take closeups of small objects. I keep seeing little things on the ground that I think would make good pinhole images, but none of my cameras would be able to take the pictures easily. I was thinking of making a camera that would be cone or wedge shaped, with the pinhole at the peak of the cone (the cone would have a flat end for the pinhole). It would need this shape to minimize the shadow that it creates. The back would take 8x10 film. The camera would also have adjustable feet so that it could easily be positioned over top of an object, and moved up and down to adjust taking field. Has anyone tried making anything similar?

Re: [pinhole-discussion] closeup pinhole camera
Sounds great Some time ago around 21 October 2001 there was a thread about micro and macro pinholes which if you don't have might interest you Alexis
Re: [pinhole-discussion] closeup pinhole camera
I recall somenody doing it, but I'm not sure who. Maybe Dominique Strooband.(see pinhole journal about a year ago.) - Original Message - From: "Gordon J.

[pinhole-discussion] closeup pinhole camera
Hi: Since things are quiet... I want to build something to take closeups of small objects. I keep seeing little things on the ground that I think would make good pinhole images, but none of my cameras would be able to take the pictures easily. I was thinking of making a camera that would be cone or wedge shaped, with the pinhole at the peak of the cone (the cone would have a flat end for the pinhole). It would need this shape to minimize the shadow that it creates. The back would take 8x10 film. The camera would also have adjustable feet so that it could easily be positioned over top of an object, and moved up and down to adjust taking field. Has anyone tried making anything similar?

I think we are feeling fall approaching and are "gathering" stuff for the winter so we have things to do when it is cold. :-) Today I spray painted 6 regular and two "spy" Altoids cans preparing to do some experimenting with them. So happy pinholing all! ~Chuck Flagg~ well, since we all feel a little lonely when this list is quiet, I'd like to ad to Chuck's message that here in Brasil spring is approaching and I have lots of pinhole cameras to build! hope you all are well, out and pinholin' []s luish -- --- http://www.ignore.com.br/pinhole
