[pinhole-discussion] WWPD site

2002-12-09 Thread Margaret Graham
Tom,
Many thanks!  That is great, and the navigation is very functional, just
what I was wishing for on the 2001 page.  Thanks for providing a great
venue.

 Hi Margaret,

 Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention.  I forwarded
 this email to the site's developer and he just mentioned that he
 problem is fixed now.  I just tried accessing the Pinhole Day gallery,
 both the thumbnails and full images, using IE 6 and Mozilla 1.2.1 and
 had no problems.

 The website is starting to undergo some modifications to accomodate
 the Third Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, which will happen on
 April 27, 2003.  Bumps like this might happen again.

 Thanks,
 Tom Miller
 WPPD 2003 Coordinator

  George,
 
  Given your concern for usability, I know you will want to know about
 the problem
  I'm experiencing on your site at http://www.pinholeday.org/gallery/.
 In attempting
  to view the April 28, 2002 images, I receive the following message:
 
  Fatal error: Cannot redeclare maketextimage() in
  /usr/www/users/pinhole/WPD/includes/setup.php on line 322 (Windows
 2000, IE 5, NS
  4.7 and Opera 6.01).
 
  Haven't yet tried NS6.  Clues?  The 2001 images are wonderful
 although it's a lot
  to click through.

   Hmmm, okay.  Very poor website design.  I would like to see more pictures,
  get
   more details, maybe even find out how much it costs.  I have no desire to
  send
   him an email.  Anyway, I do my email through Yahoo, so this doesn't do me
  a
   whole lot of good.  Too bad that something that should be so simple
  becomes
   impossible.  I wonder if the camera is similarly designed.
 
  Common George, give Joaquin a break.  The 1000's words the pictures in his
  site say speak very loud of his design and  craftmanship.
 
  I said in my post that this was a PRE-ANNOUCEMENT.   Joaquin sent me and  a
  couple of other persons an email for us to PRE-VIEW his new creation, the
  site IS NOT meant as THE site from which he'll sell this camera, nor it is
  intended to ANNOUNCE the camera to the world, it says in the home page that
  there will be a web site coming soon.
 
  I'll stop short of saying I made a mistake with my posting of Joaquin
  pre-announcement to the list, Joaquin indicated to me, he was surpriced to
  find this morning so many emails from people interested, so no question some
  people were impressed with the beauty of the cameras and wanted to know
  more.

 Guillermo

 I would think that he would want to know that whomever is putting together his
 site is doing so in a way that potential customers will be driven away.  Site
 designers too often indulge in grandiose designs meant to be cool that are
 actually unusable.  There is nothing more important than usability.

 Before the final design is complete, it would be best for the site designer to
 know of the negative feedback from potential customers.  If the site remains 
 as
 is and goes live, he will lose many sales from people who have no idea how to
 use this confusing site.

 Just my opinion.

 Cheers -

 george

Re: [pinhole-discussion] 4x5 film

2002-10-16 Thread Margaret Graham
The film type is referred to as 'quickload' or 'readyload', depending on
the manufacturer, and generally comes in b/w, color neg and color
transparency.  It fits a 4x5 Polaroid back and functions similarly to
Polaroid sheets in the way the paper functions like a dark slide.  It's
much more expensive than traditional sheet film, as you're paying for
the convenience.  Any major supplier should carry it; try bhphoto.com in
NYC.

Enjoy and good luck,
Margaret Graham

 hi,

 after using 4x5 film holders with my pinhole while
 traveling, I am very interested in the film that is
 already in a holder. I can't remember the name of it.

 does anyone have information about what I am trying to
 describe???

 So instead of having to load the film into a holder
 you can buy a pack of film in its own holder.

 I am interested in black and white film, 100 speed.

 curious where to buy it, and how many come in a pack.

 Some people where talking about it a while back, but I
 have deleted the information.

 also:

 I'm looking through my first pinhole images, and most
 of them were handheld 45 second eposure, so they look
 hazey/ slightly blurred which I love.

 I am considering printing sizes as I am planning on
 having a show of these images.

 But I am curious about how much more blurred it will
 be if I blow them up really large. I will most likely
 lose alot of the detail, and they may look really
 blown out

 But because they are images with castles in them, they
 just scream at me to be bigger. Does anyone have
 experience printing this type of image large? Did you
 lose the image quality so much that it wasn't worth
 the enlargement???

 Curious before i get started.

 also:

 has anyone used alternative methods of printing
 such as kallitype? Or salt printing? Interested in
 creating more depth / and using an old method of
 printing for these castles.

 thank you !

 Catherine
