hey harry! Im so impressed with your work. Do you think you could guide me 
with my pinhole work.  I have never done this sort of thing. I have a cannon 
camera and took off the lens. I put the cap on the front and poked a pin 
through it to make a hole. Now what do i do?

[pinhole-discussion] hello everyone

 Hello!
 Im Elena and have been experimenting with photography for just a bit now. I 
really had no connection with the fancy camera that I received for my 
birthday last year. its too tech-tastic. Its not for me. 
 So my friend John introduced me to a lubitel. I fell in love with it and ive 
have been blowing my own mind with it. Its a very primitive way to record 
images. So I had an idea for trying some pinhole photos. 
 So heres my idea, now dig.
I want to do some long exposures, IM talking like 24 hour exposures. I wanted 
to make several small crude box pinhole cameras and tape them up all over the 
city, leave them overnight and go and collect them in the morning. 
unfortunately I dont know a thing about pinhole exposures and am about to do 
some experimenting. I have a few questions about it.
 How far does the actual pinhole have to be from the film.?
 How long can I expose for.?
 how big should the pinhole be? 
 If you got answers, I got an ear.
 thanks, Elena
