Huh.  Looking at the truck picture, it sure looks like
there's some light bouncing around from something
shiny inside the camera -- or (?) maybe your pinhole

flashlight and shine it inside the camera and see if
anything is shiny?

Huh -- is the line (in the prints, that is) light,
dark, other?  It sounds like a light leak (but might
be something else, like film bent during processing). 
Maybe post an example?

Re: [pinhole-discussion] ballpark pinhole exposures for a gift pinhole camera?

2002-12-02 Thread erickson
Just an intuitive guess, but the times sound a little on the short side. For
night exposures, I expose from a half hour after sunset until a half hour
before sunrise. Gives decent shadow detail without washing evrything out.

 I'm converting several cheapie 35mm cameras to pinhole
 cameras as gifts for my nieces and nephews (remove
 shutter  lens, poke  sand pinhole in bit of aluminum
 pop can).  I want to put an exposure guide (a variant
 on the old sunny-16 rule) on a sticker on the back to
 get them started, and wondered of this sounded about
 right to folks (I'm basing this on my own dabbling,
 but my records aren't great (my exposure notebook got
 washed!)(the focal length is about 40 mm, and I
 haven't figured out an exact f-stop for the pinholes
 yet).

 Use ASA 100 film
 Bright sun: 2-4 seconds
 Partly shaded on sunny day: 4-10 seconds
 Full shade: 10-20 seconds
 Cloudy day: 10-20 seconds
 Night: try 15 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours,
 (guess, and try a couple of different exposures)
 Inside, lit by bright window: 1-4 minutes
 Inside, lit by light bulbs: 2-10 minutes

[pinhole-discussion] need pinhole advice

2002-12-02 Thread Traci Bunkers
I also sent this yesterday, but it didn't make it to the list. .

I uploaded 2 photos to the gallery: traci_bunkers_2_1  traci_bunkers_1
Near the upper right I get an area that is lighter than the rest of the
pictures. What causes this and how can I fix it?

I took this with a Holga that I modified to be a pinhole with approx F/230.
This was shot on Kodak 160VC. The exposures were approx 4 secs.

Also, in some of my shots (not these), in the bottom right corner I get a
diagonal line that is curved and varies in thickness/shape. Is this a
reflection off of something in the camera? I sprayed the inside with a flat
black paint and sharpied the shutter. I haven't noticed this thing when
I shoot with black  white film.

Thanks for any advice!

I sent this message yesterday, but it didn't make it to the list.

This might be covered on the site somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I
mistakenly uploaded the same photo twice, and can't find out how to delete
one of them. Anyone know?
