Re: [pinhole-discussion] rahji.com swap list-share you joy with us! Yes, I will! Yes, I will!

Dear all pinhole friends from the world,

Hi Rob, you did a good job again! Thanks! Thanks. Thanks. I have join the
swap and can't wait to receive the pinhole photos. I found now we have more
than 10 people have join the swap...
Actually I post a message a few months ago for the swap. I can remember
Rosanne also posted a message about the swap a few months ago. I want to
have such swap every year and I still enjoy the pinhole photos I received
last year.

Maybe we cannot ship the post card or get it before Christmas. I have an
idea:
How about we take photos at our Christmas parties (or anything happened
during the Christmas) and we send the postcard no later than end of January.
Thus we can share the joy of Christmas from difference countries. I will
send as many as postcard I can.
I believe none of you will refuse to receive such special gifts after
Christmas :-)
Hi all my friends, come and join us and share your joys with us! Join the
swap. Join the Christmas party.

It's a good warm up before you participate the WPPD3.

Thanks again Rob for your excellent job.

Here is my Christmas e-card to you all! I hold the camera (not pinhole) and
dancing in front of a Christmas tree!
http://www.zeroimage.com/xmas2002.htm Enjoy it!

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy WPPD3!

RE: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid pinhole.

2002-12-13 Thread Ed Nazarko
Polaroid makes a Polaroid pinhole camera - $99 at most of the discount
camera places, try Calumet since they seem to be pinhole camera friendly
- cardboard, with a nice brass pinhole, and a good quality Polaroid back
which is NOT cardboard.  Looks great, and looks like great fun to be had
building it.  You can check it on at www.polaroid.com.

Have seen some pix from it online, and they've been quite nice.  Can't
speak for myself, though - I bought one for my wife to give me for
Christmas, so while I'm looking at the box right now, that's all I'm
allowed to do for another week or so.  Also bought one for my sister,
and one for my niece - we're going to have a family pinhole day during
the holidays.

either take an old Polaroid camera, remove the lens  put in a pinhole
OR
pickup a Polaroid back  attach it to some form of light tight
container
w/ a pinhole on it... It really is quite fun. I just came in from using
one...similar to the ones illustrated @ my old site
http://members.tripod.com/andycam1/aandyAP_c.html

Lots of fun..try it!

 Dear All

Ben,
The easiest and cheapest would be to get yourself either a Polaroid
holder or camera that takes the film you want to use and then you build a
wooden box around the holder and or modify the camera to make it a pinhole
camera.  There are always holders and cameras being auctioned at eBay that
can serve the purposes mentioned, these are some currently being auctioned:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=1944584085
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=1944512695

The main thing is to make sure the holder or camera actually takes the film
you intend to use, as there are older Polaroid holder/cameras that may seem
to take modern film but they will not, so do your homework before bidding.

I bought an oscilloscope camera at eBay, from that purchase I have a shutter
like this http://tonopahpictures.0catch.com/G-Claron/Ilex75_4.jpg that I
could use for pinhole , a close up lens I use as paper weight and a holder
exactly like this one: http://tonopahpictures.0catch.com/021502/pinhole0.jpg
http://tonopahpictures.0catch.com/021502/pinhole2.jpg that I also converted
to pinhole camera.

Disclaimer: those auctions above are just to give you an idea, I do not know
the persons auctioning that stuff nor I have any interest in them selling
it.

5. Re: What is Diffraction? (Lisa Reddig)

 Now I need to go and look at some of my color pinholes and see if I can
 notice different color blurs.  Do you think I will be able to see it?
 
 Lisa
 

while i could be totally wrong, i've noticed that on color prints, a
pinhole lens flare (like when the camera is pointed close to the sun)
yeilds a rainbow-ish halo. it could be the effect of the different
colors' diffraction values as they reflect off the edge of the pinhole
that seperates them out into the spectrum like that. in other words,
this might be the chance to see the different color blurs...

[pinhole-discussion] December/January swap

2002-12-13 Thread R Duarte
 About a month ago, I asked if we were going to do it again, but nobody
 seemed interested.  Regarding the new swap, I think that the limited time
 betwen now and the holidays would discourage participation, so maybe the
 suggested final mailing date should be bumped to the end of january.
 
 John

I'll change the date on the site.  This is good timing since I just had my
review boards yesterday so I will actually have a little sculpture-free time
now to participate in this swap!  :)

**That sounds like a good idea.  Thanks Rob for resetting the list.  Swaps are
lots of work but very rewarding, a great way to start the new year.
Take Care,
