[pinhole-discussion] "Egg" on PBS
Did anyone happen to catch "Egg" this past week on PBS? This weeks episode was about people around the country making art out of everyday stuff. There was a segment about a photography teacher in San Antonio who makes pinhole cameras out of anything he can get his hands on. I can't remember his name but it was very interesting.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] re: calculating exposure

I've got one on > my web page at http://linux.bbn.com/~koolish Thanks for the dial calculator. I downloaded it and am going to make one. I have been using something similar but it is a bit more cumbersome. I made a long slide-rule with all of the f-stops and speeds projected beyond my handheld light meter. The only information my slide rule has that the dial doesn't have is that I have included f-stops and shutter speeds halfway between each of the standard settings. For example: the extra f-stop between f/22 and f/32 would be f/27.25. I have done this all the way up to f/4096 and 16,384 seconds (or 4.5 hours). Most people don't need to go that high but you never know. Andrew ___ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/

I am planning to get into the studio and try some different approaches. Since I am a busy high school teacher it probably won't be until Christmas vacation. If I can get caught up on some other things maybe it will happen sooner. Thanks to everyone who offered their experience and expertise. Andrew ___ Tired of slow Internet?

What size (in inches) was the box and what did you use for your negative? I wish I could go to the show but I'm bound to the midwest for now, not a bad place to be. Andrew ___ Tired of slow Internet?

[pinhole-discussion] studio photography
Hello everyone, I have an old Speedotron Brownline lighting setup and I am interested in doing some studio photography with my 4x5 Santa Babara pinhole camera. Could anyone offer some helpful pointers to get me started? With my 35mm, I can set off the flash with a sync cord but how do I go about doing this while determining the proper amount of light to use? Do I need to fire the flash multiple times during the exposure? I would love to hear from anyone who has experimented in this area. Have a great day. Andrew Sias ___ Tired of slow Internet?

[pinhole-discussion] new and old images
I have uploaded some new images from this past summer. Two of them are from Niagara Falls and one is from the peninsula north of Traverse City, Michigan. I have more images from Niagara to post in the near future. the images are: siasniagara1 siasniagara2 siaspeninsula they can be found at: http://www.p at ???/discussion/upload/images/ older images of mine can be found there as well: 3drocksweb caboose1web pear1web rootsweb Any feedback is welcome. I have not been doing pinhole photography for very long. The older images are from paper negatives scanned and inverted in Photoshop. The newer images are from sheet film scanned and inverted in Photoshop. By the way, has anyone experimented with Polacolor 59 4x5 sheet film in a pinhole camera? I have obtained good results using it in my press camera but haven't had good results in my pinhole camera. Does it not work with extended exposure times? Any input in this area would also be welcome. Thanks Sincerely, Andrew Sias ___ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
[pinhole-discussion] images
I have a few pinhole images on my site. The site won't be up much longer because I just got Dreamweaver and I'll scrap this site when I finish my new one. I hope everyone enjoys these images. The anaglyph does not work well on the web however.
