RE: [pinhole-discussion] Film/Paper holder.
for really thin cameras, corrugated cardboard works well. It also allows you to have several different sizes blocked out since the paper/negatives will go over the other dividers. andy schmitt -Original Message- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Film/Paper holder.
typically, when you frame a picture it first goes between a mat board with a window and a backing board... put the paper in and tape the two pieces together - Original Message - From: "Stephen Gray" To: Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 12:03 PM Subject: RE: [pinhole-discussion] Film/Paper holder. > Hi. > > What do you mean by pre-cut window and mat ? > > P.S.

Hi. What do you mean by pre-cut window and mat ? P.S. Thanks to everyone for their replies. Stephen Gray -Original Message- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???

A pre-cut window & mat would hold the paper nicely. They are very inexpensive to buy and even moreso to make. You can put them in the camera at different angles to play with perspective. Good luck.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Film/Paper holder.
Hi Stephen, One way to hold the paper in place is to tape it. Take pieces of masking tape about two inches long, roll then into a cylinder with the sticky stuff on the outside and place them back of the paper negative and the camera body (assuming that it is metal or a material that the tape won't ruin when removed). Use high-quality tape, like 3M; the cheap stuff will leave sticky stuff on the photo paper when removed. I've used this technique with cylinder cameras; but it should work with flat-back cameras, also. Another technique, one that works with flat-back cameras, is to use black mat board and photo corners to make a photo mat as if you were going to frame the negative (see Black and White Photography by Henry Horenstein, pages 149 - 151). Glue a couple of thin strips of wood, cardboard or mat board i side the camera to form a track that the matted negative will slide into. This will hold the paper flat. I like your idea of using magnetic strips, too; but don't know where to get them.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Film/Paper holder.
Stephen, There is a firm called magnetic displays, which makes this. They are to be found advertising in wargamming mags. and on wargames websites best wishes Robin - Original Message - From: Stephen Gray To: Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 3:42 PM Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Film/Paper holder. > Hello All. > > I am constructing a pin hole camera in which I am going to use photographic > paper.
