Re: [pinhole-discussion] crocker pictures

Frankly, I didn't believe it myself so I made a second cracker camera and
tried again. Same sharpness but I'm having severe problems with light leak
in the box. Also, I think that if you don't spread the opaque-making peanut
butter right up to the edge of the hole you're using, you get some glow
through the cracker surrounding the hole, resulting in some overall fogging.
I'll post more images as I get them.

 I find it hard to believe that, that image was taken through a hole in a
 cracker. I guess I'll just have to take your word for it. Any one have any
 other ideas for images taken with a food lens.

Wow!  That's an incredible image, considering the source of the pinhole.
Your concept of photographing food with food is neat -- I hope it turns
out well.

I recall a photo in Renner's pinhole book that was taken using a saltine
cracker, but it used all the holes so there were something like 9 overlapping
images.  Contrast was low, probably from light leak through the cracker
itself (no light-blocking peanut butter...).  I would look up the specific
details,
but the book is all the way across the room . . .  ;-)
