Superb images!  How do you fasten the film onto the inside cylinder?
Also, would it not be possible to scan the images in 2 halves and join them
in Photoshop?

= Original Message From Jan Kapoor jkap...@jankapoor.net =


Right now, I'm working with a camera I made, it's a hexagonal 6-pinhole
job, and the negatives are too big for the film scanner, 6 x 13, so I
can't scan them. I'm making platinum/palladium prints, then I scan the
prints in order to put them on my website. It's actually fun to be
making prints by hand again rather than always cranking them out on the
Epson.

Jan,

I liked you web page at http://www.jankapoor.net/HexCamera.html , nice
images.
 I especially like
The Grotto Series, #5.

If anyone else want to try this I've found that a 1 liter brown plastic
darkroom bottle, like the ones
marked Datatainer will fit an 8x10 wrapped around it. I screw the cap in
place on the bottom of a
six sided piece of plywood. Making the plywood right is the hardest thing.
Start off by drawing a
circle first then mark it with a protractor every 60 degrees. Once thats
done
all you need is sides
and top which are easy to cut out of black matt board, and of course six
matching pinholes.

I've been working on a three hole 120 camera design but its more on the
principle of Gordon's camera. With mine you get a 180 degree panorama of
overlapping images with a negative about 5 inches long. You can even
shoot 180 degrees and advance the film and shoot the other direction to
get a 360 degree image. I posted a picture of it to the upload gallery
and you can follow the other link to my pinhole day image taken with

Hi Brigitte,

Further in Jim Moninger's article he mentioned that he saw the banding
using .5mm slits and so increased the slit width to 2mm thus making
more diffuse images with less banding.  I can't see banding in the
images that accompany his article.

The use or elimination of banding is up to the photographer.  Marnie
Cardozo's images in the same issue of PJ are much sharper, but include
banding.  I've dedided to keep the banding in the iconoclast images.

I have found that the slit nearest to the film plane (i.e. the inner slit)
shapes the image contortion significantly more than the other slit. Is this

Hi Mac,

The format for the two images is 4x5.  The rule of thumb I heard was
to meter the scene at f90 and give it two more stops.  This gives
exposures of 1 or 2 seconds in bright sun with Ektachrome 64T (EPY).
The few pinhole exposures I've made with 4x5 EPY were in the 16 second
range.  Naturally the slit exposure times can vary depending on the
width and length of the slits; but I've found that this rule of thumb
works well in almost all cases.  (Also, I have a lab cross-process the
EPY film to C41 and use the negative image to make color prints.)

Re: [pinhole-discussion] changing colours

2001-08-16 Thread Brigitte . Harper
OK, here is what I do:

As a solvent I now use Seriwash which is a silk screen cleaner from
Sericol. But I have used others in the past, i.e. various paint thinners
like from Humbrol to thin enamel paints which come in tiny little pots, for
painting models like tin soldiers, I believe.( I live in the UK so I don't
know what other solvents are available elsewhere.)

It is best to tape the watercolour paper onto a smooth surface (make sure
the solvent doesn't harm the surface). I find glass is best.
The xerox is then taped with masking tape (for more easy removal later on
without tearing the paper) face down onto smooth surfaced or very lightly
textured watercolour paper. Smooth is a must for beginners as it is
difficult to get the colours into the dimples of the paper. The solvent is
then applied to the back of the xerox with a cotton rag and pressure is
applied with the back of the spoon. Some people use an extremely hard
brayer.

 I find it easier to do a print in sections, i.e. to get the first inch
transferred before moving onto the next one, and I only apply the solvent
to a small section at a time because it takes some time to transfer and in
the meantime the sections you are not working on are drying again and too
many solvent applications sometimes make the colours run into each other.
To check whether all you want to transfer has been transferred, carefully
lift a corner of the xerox and take a look. Make sure to align it and tape
it back down properly again. Also make sure that the no part of the
sandwich moves during the transfer as you are applying quite a lot of
pressure.

The whole process has to be done in extremely good ventilation; I do it
outside wearing rubber gloves and a face mask.
Once a transfer is completed it takes a couple of days for the smell of the
solvent to evaporate.

I find it not an easy technique and to start with it requires a lot of
patience until you have worked out the right solvent/paper/xerox
combination . I  use this process only for special images. You can transfer
all or only parts of the image. I sometimes transfer only small parts of
the edges of the xerox copy to give a feathered soft watercolour look edge.

There might me some info on this process in the archives of the
alt-photo-process list.

Good luck,
Brigitte.

what about making a color xerox (or what ever brand copier) of the print.
I don't know how archival the toners used in color copiers are, but they
are likely better than the standard ink jet ink.  These may be pigment
based rather than dye based.  If so there are likely far more stable.

I knew a photographer once who was on a limited budget - shot everything
on slides (a six by nine slides from a Makina - spent all his money on
this camera!) - when he wanted a prints he took his slides to a color
copying shop and made enlargments on the copier.  He soon knew how to use
the copiers better than most people who ran the shops.

Took things a step further and cut up his color copies and made
photo-collages, using his own and found images  and copied the collage
to make its final collage print. One could do this with a computer now.

Oops but this isn't pinhole.

That was ten years ago - I'll see if I have any of his color copy prints,
and check whether they have degraded.

the pictures began to lose some of the colour, they became paler and turned
more to the green.
 The theme for the picuters is garden vegetation and from a philosophical

the changes in nature when we are turning into late summer and autumn - but
I don't think that the potential buyers of my pictures are willing to buy

If I may speak for the rest of the coordinating team, thanks for the
compliments on the web site.  And I join you in saluting everyone who made
plans and took photos on pinhole day.  The imagination and diversity of the

work shared in the exhibit has been a real joy - and something new every
day!

Congratulations to us all!  The idea was born on this list and it has been
a real whirlwind of effort to bring it to life.  Thanks especially go to
the hard work of Guy Glorieux, Jean Daubas, and Diana Bloomfield.  These
three people in particular assumed much of the responsibility for getting
out the word and coordinating the development of a multi-language web site
(12 languages).  It would be hard to find any organization anywhere in the
world able to accomplish such a feat in such a short time!  And without a
budget!

Thanks also go to coordinating team members Larry Fratkin, Ed Levinson,
George Smyth, Zernike Au (who had the original idea), Pam Niedermayer, and
Guillermo Penate, plus the many volunteers around the world who translated
web pages and promotional material into their native languages, and those
who helped spread the word about pinhole day in all kinds of ways.  I
encourage everyone to take a look at the list of people who contributed to
this event at http://www.pinholeday.org/org/?page=team and shame on anyone
who hasn't seen the on-line exhibit (is that possible?).

I regret there isn't a guest book or some other means of discussion on the
pinhole day photos.  But, this morning I added a link to send an email to
individual contributors to the exhibit, if anyone would like to do
so.  And, of course, this discussion list can serve as a place to share
anything related to pinhole day or the exhibit.  And please speak up with
any ideas for next year.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Pinhole and lith printing - A natural complement?

2001-04-18 Thread Brigitte . Harper
In my experience, the definitive book on lith printing is by Tim Rudmann. I
think it is called 'A Master Course in Lith Printing'.
Regards,
Brigitte.

 The book, which I find excellent on many other subjects (especially

 ISBN 0 86 343 313 8


Thanks Jean,

I looked for it at Amazon.com and they have it at just a little under
$30.00.
This is clearly on my list of books to get.

a butt cam...now there is a visualization that interfered with my cup of
coffee... 8o)
a self portrait perhaps?
Wearing a pair of light tight pantaloons (speedos?)would give you a
shutter.
This should definitely be interesting

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] body as camera


I am considering using bodily orifices for pinhole photo's. Yeah I know that
french guy used his mouth as a camera and that was pretty cool but it's been
done. I will probably be limited to smaller formats so you can expect some
graininess. I'll go into the darkroom  hide a (400 ASA) 35mm black and
white negative where the sun don't shine (I'll probably just load one frame
at a time, not the entire roll as I have no film advance) then cover my
cheeks w/ duct tape  which I have pierced with a .025 mm pinhole,  well
grainy gritty images are what I'm gonna get! It will suit the whole thing
quite well (don't try this at home , I have labored to find the correct
location for the pinhole, and duct tape is designed to be difficult to
remove) maybe I could use that camera tape that was discussed earlier.  Any
ideas?

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has used or is using Polaroid
material in their pinhole photogrphy.  Also would like to hear from
anyone in the uk who is using pinhole.

Damned !
some surrealistic linguage transformations seemed to occur in my answer to
Herbert'spost !
My eyes could not believe the strange words created by my PC -neither
english, nor french- in my previous message :
 falling down all night long an thés mornifle toi. it. dis not privent
me
 from.
 gong outsider on y mounda biche vit sevrage hand cameras : watt I
 lice in bade weber fis te opportunité to world vit vert long exposures

The best readers have probably succeeded in retrieving the original truth
(!) :
(...) ...falling down all night long and this morning too. It did not
prevent me from going outside on my mountain bike with several hand-made
cameras : what I like in bad weather is the opportunity to work with very
long exposures... (...)

I begin to believe that  my Text software is a pinhole text software,
bringing us a vision upon words as strange and impredictable than the new
reality of the world offerred to us pinholers by our funny black holes
cameras.
Apologizes for these distorsions (added to my bad use of english linguage!).
Jean
