Re: [pinhole-discussion] another new photo
Nice image Mark How long was your exposure? You seem to have captured a bit of a moment. Also like your SF bridge photo. Using paper limits me to photos in close proximity to my darkroom. I think I need to convert an old camera to pinhole...

[pinhole-discussion] cardboard cameras
Barb I got large sheets of 3mm thick cardboard, and drew a plan for my students. The plan showed the students how to cut two "L" shapes that, when folded, created two boxes that fit snuggly together. The boxes were painted black on the inside and taped with black tape (to avoid light leaks along the joins) The pinhole was made from a small square of aluminum, which I pierced for the students with a pin. The paper gets held in place by the edges of the inside box. These cameras are easy to make and the only problems seem to be with the way some students have measured and cut their card. > > Lisa - would love more info on this thick card camera. . . > Barb > > ___ > Pinhole-Discussion mailing list > Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? > unsubscribe or change your account at > http://www.p at ???/discussion/ >
[pinhole-discussion] Film/Paper holder.
Stephen I made my camera out of two cardboard boxes that fit together. The box with the pinhole (the inside box) is long enough that it actually holds the paper to the back of the outside box.

[pinhole-discussion] First scan
Hi all This is the first time I have ever scanned a pinhole photograph and uploaded it for viewing. This self portrait was taken during a lesson with my year nine photography class with a camera made from thick card. The pinhole was made by hammering a household pin through a piece of aluminum. What do you think: http://www.p at ???/discussion/upload/images/positive.jpg Lisa

Re: [pinhole-discussion] The Camera Obscura

[pinhole-discussion] David's ideas
David Thankyou for the ideas. My head is spinning with pinhole stuff. I like the idea of polaroid. Also the use of scanner to make positives from paper negs. Can also envisage using photoshop to change contrast etc. This discussion group has been wonderful for teaching ideas. Will have to encourage all my teacher friends to join discussion groups in their subject areas.

[pinhole-discussion] thankyou
Thankyou to all of you who have given me inspiration for my lesson plan. One thing that I am having trouble with is translating the Americanisms into things that we have access to here in Australia. Is a pringles snack a box or a canister? When you say "soda can" do you mean aluminium can such as a coke can? Also wondering if the 35 mm film canister pinhole camera is used to make a film negative? What I want to do with my students is get them straight into paper negs as they haven't yet done film processing. Thanks again everyone. This discussion group is really interesting. I am loving the images people are pointing out and posting. -- lisa styles ph: 02 62470574 -- From: Charles Flagg To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??? Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Re:[pinhole-discussion]lesson plan List-Post: pinhole-discussion@pinhole.com Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 9:33 AM Lisa, I start young students with the 35mm film cannisters pinhole cameras. I use a standard single paper punch to put a 1/4" hole in the cannister. We use soda cans, drill with a needle driven into a 3/8" dowel(Thanks Stewart Woodruff), into an eraser. Then sand the burr created with fine sandpaper and tape it over the hole. A piece of electrical tape is used for a shutter. I too cut the paper ahead of time and store in the safebox. My older students start with a Pringle's Snack ca(3.5"x5"format)spray with flat black paint and follow a similar plan as the 35mm. A great source of cannisters is your local photo processing shop. They have been great about saving them for me.

[pinhole-discussion] lesson plan
Hello I am a student teacher in Australia and I am trying to design a lesson plan on making and using pinhole cameras. I want the students to be able to make their cameras cheaply and quickly. Has anybody tried using black foam core? What would be the recommended minimum thickness of cardboard? Can a piece of coke can be used for the shutter? My students are year 9/10 (about 15 years old). Any suggestions for my lesson plan will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Lisa
