Re: [pinhole-discussion] Vegan pinhole
- Original Message - From: Michael Healy mjhe...@kcnet.com Say, Guillermo. The local supermarkets are packaging four bell peppers together now in special clear plastic bags. You get a green one, a yellow one, a red one, and an orange one. Think you could make a pinhole happen with this? Sure, I'd take the red one, remove the seeds, mount a pinhole and load it with MGIV. The red would act as safelight. I'd then grill the other ones, peel the skin, julien them add some balsamic, olive oil, oregano (you-know-what-I'm-saying). Also, have you seen the microwavable baking potatoes yet? You don't expect a pinholer to use microwave, do you? Actually, I do microwave, but only photo chems, pop-corn and water for tea It's an Idaho special, wrapped in plastic. You just nuke eat. I'm thinking, if you nuked one of these and carefully scooped out the innards (add butter later, oops, that's a cow), you might be able to turn the carcass and the plastic wrap into a (you-know-what-I'm-saying). Pin-tater camera..final answer. I'd be happy to mail you a few these if they haven't made their way north of the border yet. Sure, but send me the butter and the cow also as I am not really a vegan. But a whiskey tube. Come on, how much more vegetarian are you going to get? You got that right. And the answer to that question is not beer cans Answer is not beer cans eh?.can I ask the audience? hold it.what about a wooden beer keg? it'd make a nice big pinhole camera, wouldn't it? Sorry people, the list has been so quiet that this semi OT message could not possible be considered wast of bandwidth...I hope. Guillermo
Re: [pinhole-discussion] wish me luck!
- Original Message - From: Stewart C. Russell scr...@sympatico.ca I've made three cameras (out of whisky bottle tubes), We use to have very regular people by eating lots of oat meal to make Quaker pinhole cameras, cool breathed people after eating lots of Altoid mints, people became cigar smokers to use the nice cigar wooden boxes for pinhole and now we have drunks, were will it end? :-) Myself, I am a vegetarian fan so I am waiting till broccoli comes in nice sealed containers, is there any side efect to broccoli? :-) cut and measured my pinholes (using a modification of Guillermo's flatbed technique), That reminds me of the update I made to this flatbed technique page that I have not uploaded yet. Just did, BTW, it is nothing to write home about, it just mentions that people owning graphic programs with measuring capabilities, like Photoshop Measure Tool can measure the pinhole directly on the screen with that digital tool. http://members.rogers.com/penate/diameter.htm and made three exposures. I'm just about to develop them ... Let us know how they turned out. Welcome to the list. Guillermo

[pinhole-discussion] Sized needles
As mentioned earlier most stores with fabric departments sell quilting needles. They come on a card with a plastic 2.5 diameter dial type dispenser that has compartments containing needle sizes 4-12 but for some reason excludes #11. Hobby/craft stores sell the above packs too, but for even smaller needles you need to look in the craft section for beading needles. Hobby Lobby (another national chain - closed on Sundays) sell Beadsmith cards of 4 needles. One card contains sizes 10-13. Their smallest needle is size 15 which measures .0085 at the point. The shaft is .0095. At our store and I guess nationally these needles are not with the seed beads but in the next isle with the beading accessories as thread and wire. I use a jewelers (machinests) pin vise to drill with needles and the small drills that Guillermo discussed. My pin vise is appx 4 long and slightly larger than the diameter of a pencil. At either end is a one inch long threaded collett which tightens or loosens the oriface. The range of the smaller end is appx 1/16 to zero. The larger end 1/16 to 1/8. Warning these needles and drills are extremely fragile!!! Chuch them up so that only 1mm appx is exposed! Twist the pin vise with your thumb and index finger to drill. I place the metal on top of a white art eraser as a backing to drill into. Mike Atwell Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
