[pinhole-discussion] scanning negs question
I am scanning some negatives right now and have noticed something that I haven't noticed before. . .

Re: [pinhole-discussion] What is the best scanner?
Yes, but the guides don't always work--like with 35mm pinhole pictures where the image extends into the sprocket holes and you want to scan the whole thing. Or when running 35mm film through a medium format camera (same issue with sprocket holes). In both those instances, I tried putting the film into one of the bigger guides, but the film dips down and touches the glass. -- Traci Bunkers Bonkers Handmade Originals http://www.bonkersfiber.com > From: "George L Smyth" > Reply-To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??? > Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2003 15:34:35 -0400 (EDT) > To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??? > Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] What is the best scanner? > > > Well, I would simply use the guides - why not?

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Re: Need Polaroid Pinhole help for 600 camera
Thanks John, I've actually been to that site--but the kind of SX-70 camera I was dismantling was an all plastic one. But, Since I last posted, I have had success. . . and failure. I figured out to make the picture bigger, I actually had to shorten the focal length rather than extend it. I'm guessing this has something to do with the internal mirrors since the film is horizontal on the bottom of the camera. Once I figured that out, I was able to pry open my plastic one-step sx-70 camera, remove the lens and put on a pinhole and use 600 film in it. Since the camera is made for a slower film, the exposure worked fine with 600 film. I got some great pictures. . .then the camera crapped out. It smelled and sounded like the motor died. So I grabbed another sx-70 camera and did the same. This one was trickier because it used sonar to focus. So it was harder to get the front off and remove the lens. Got it working, and each time I took a picture, the picture was in a different place. I found out something had happened to the shutter leaves and they were moving around. . . . And I think it would be almost impossible to fix this myself (thrift-store find, so no great loss). So, back to the 600 camera I put on a smaller pinhole and shortened the focal length and got some interesting photos. But, I had to use a fairly large pinhole to get the right exposure, and the photos are blurry. But in a kind of cool way. I think I've got the smallest pinhole on it that will give me the right exposure. The great thing about this camera is it has a built in flash. So I can do pinhole photos with a flash in lower light. I would post thee, but I forgot to bring them to work. . .where I'm avoiding working. I'll post a link later. Also, I think I have the "optimum" pinhole on my Super shooter plus polaroid. I've got sharp pictured with a good exposure, and I don't have to use a tripod. I'll post those later too. I have to say, I'm digging polaroid pinholes. There is nothing like instantly seeing your picture. Needless to say, I've been spending a lot of money on film. -- Traci Bunkers Bonkers Handmade Originals http://www.bonkersfiber.com > From: ColdMarblePhoto > Reply-To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??? > Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 06:38:13 -0400 > To: > Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Re: Need Polaroid Pinhole help for 600 camera > > Not sure if this is the same model but there are some SX-70 hacking and > disassembly instructions at: > > http://www.chemie.unibas.ch/~holder/sx70tech.html > > Love the results of your experiments so far. > > John Bolgiano > http://www.dgbn.com/photo/ > > -- > > > > ___ > Post to the list as PLAIN TEXT only - no HTML > Pinhole-Discussion mailing list > Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? > unsubscribe or change your account at > http://www.???/discussion/ >
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Need Polaroid Pinhole help for 600 camera
Yes, taking the shutter off would be one way. But I'd have to figure out how to open up the camera without breaking it. I don't want to mess up the mechanism that makes the film pop out. Yes, the center is over exposed. I'm wondering if it's because of the flash, or if light is reflecting off the inside of the pinhole material. -- Traci Bunkers Bonkers Handmade Originals http://www.bonkersfiber.com > From: Jeff Dilcher > Reply-To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??? > Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2003 15:14:33 -0400 > To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??? > Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] Need Polaroid Pinhole help for 600 camera > > > I am not familiar with that camera, but, can't you just rip the shutter > out completely?

[pinhole-discussion] Need Polaroid Pinhole help for 600 camera
I loved my first polaroid pinhole so much, I wanted to make one with one of my 600 polaroid cameras (600 is the kind, not how many I have!). I took of the lens and put on a pinhole and started doing experiments. I ended up with a pretty big pinhole, big enough to measure with a ruler and the naked eye, but I haven't measured it. I tried putting filters over the electric eye, but it doesn't seem to slow the shutter. The photos I have linked here are the best, done indoors using the flash on the camera. I tried without the flash to see if it would keep the shutter open longer, but it doesn't. I even totally covered they eye with cardboard, but it doesn't change anything. Also, the image doesn't cover the whole picture. It's very voyeuristic. And, you can see I didn't get the pinhole centered. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can keep the shutter open longer and how I can make the picture cover more of the photo without making the pinhole any bigger? I think past of it would be to use 600 film in an sx-70 camera, since SX-70 film is rated at 125 or 150. But, my sx-70 camera that I would be willing to take the lens off doesn't seem, like it would be easy to do. It's a One-step, all plastic. I think I would have to take off the front plastic piece to get to the lens. But I started gently prying last night, and it deems like I would break it before it would come off. Has anyone done anything like this? Also, back to my experiments with the Super Shooter Plus: I put a small filter over the electric eye and it worked great. But, I had to use a tripod (no big deal). Then I made another pinhole that was bigger and tried it. It worked great without a filter and I could hand-hold the camera. But, there wasn't much contrast. -- Traci Bunkers Bonkers Handmade Originals http://www.bonkersfiber.com
[pinhole-discussion] Polaroid Pinhole Success!
I turned my Polaroid Super Shooter Plus into a pinhole following Mike's info, and it worked! The first try was too dark. So I took off the pinhole and made it bigger. I have to have the lightness/darkness setting on the lightest, but I'm afraid if I make the pinhole any bigger, the images will be fuzzy. I used 667 film (3000 speed) with the camera set at 75 ASA and took the photos in full sun. These 2 came out pretty good. The coneflower picture is actually a little brighter than the scan came out. http://www.bonkersfiber.com/photos/pinhole/polaroid/selfportrait.jpg http://www.bonkersfiber.com/photos/pinhole/polaroid/echinacea.jpg -- Traci Bunkers Bonkers Handmade Originals http://www.bonkersfiber.com
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid
Lisa, I'll paste in some of the info from Mike Vande Bunt posted to the list in January and also what he e-mailed to me--keep in mind I haven't tried any of this yet and I don't have the camera in front of me to look at. . .: I use a zone plate on mine (85mm zone plate made by Guillermo Penate, camera is a converted "Color Shooter II") and can hand hold it for the exposures. (I use the original built in automatic exposure system, set for 80b ASA and get perfectly exposed prints.) With a pinhole in place of the zone plate the exposures will still be relatively short -- seconds rather than minutes. * * * * * (this one was in a different e-mail to me when I asked him some questions) I think that for pinhole work the film speed selector switch is not really needed. We are basically lying to the meter by using high speed film at a low speed meter setting because of our very small lens opening. The only thing the film speed switch does is move a large pinhole (technically a "Waterhouse Stop" since it is behind the meter's lens) in front of the meter sensor. Since we don't want the meter to be less sensitive, we don't really need the 3000 speed setting. -- Traci Bunkers Bonkers Handmade Originals http://www.bonkersfiber.com > From: Lisa Reddig > Reply-To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??? > Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2003 16:00:25 -0400 > To: > Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid > > Traci, > > My pinhole is the size of the needle I used to poke it.

[pinhole-discussion] Panorama printing question & static
So, I did some pinhole photos using 2 cans and got some panoramic shots. The film was too long to put in my neg holder for my scanner. And that brought up a question. How would I even print this? It wouldn't fit into my heg holder for my enlarger.. . So it seems laying it on the scanner bed and scanning it is the only way I could? I had to put a scratched up piece of plexiglass on top of it to hold it flat. . . . Here are my pinholes: The first one is from a tea can (62mm focal length), the other 2 from a holiday can (87mm focal length) http://www.bonkersfiber.com/photos/pinhole/teacancemeteryselfportrait.jpg http://www.bonkersfiber.com/photos/pinhole/bluecancemeteryselfportrait.jpg http://www.bonkersfiber.com/photos/pinhole/bluecancemetery.jpg The first one (when enlarged) has a lot of dust and hair in it--this was not on the negative, but was part of the negative. So, I think the static must have made the debris cling to the film when I was loading it into my can. Does anyone else have this problem? What can you do about it?
