I'd like to point out that these tubes were collected over a period of 
nearly a year.



it just mentions that people owning graphic programs with measuring
capabilities, like Photoshop Measure Tool can measure the pinhole directly


that's basically what I did (using The Gimp), but I also:

* drew horizontal and vertical rules of 10mm length on the pinhole plate.

* scanned the plate at 2540dpi, a.k.a. 100 pixels/mm -- which makes 
measurement really easy.


The horizontal and vertical rules were just there to verify the X  Y 
resolution of the scanner. I worked too long in prepress to trust any 
component in the workflow to be exactly on scale.



Let us know how they turned out.


one completely black, one with a very faint marks of *something*, and 
the third -- from an f/254 copper pinhole mounted in a Balvenie Double 
Wood -- not bad, if really badly developed.



Welcome to the list.


thanks!

 I've made three cameras (out of whisky bottle tubes),

We use to have very regular people by eating lots of oat meal to make
Quaker pinhole cameras, cool breathed people after eating lots of Altoid
mints, people became cigar smokers to use the nice cigar wooden boxes for
pinhole and now we have drunks, were will it end?  :-)   Myself, I am a
vegetarian fan so I am waiting till broccoli comes in nice sealed
containers, is there any side efect to broccoli?  :-)

 cut and measured
 my pinholes (using a modification of Guillermo's flatbed technique),

That reminds me of the update I made to this flatbed technique page that I
have not uploaded yet.  Just did, BTW, it is nothing to write home about, it
just mentions that people owning graphic programs with measuring
capabilities, like Photoshop Measure Tool can measure the pinhole directly
on the screen with that digital tool.

 and made three exposures. I'm just about to develop them ...

Let us know how they turned out.

Welcome to the list.
