Re: [pinhole-discussion] using filters
have you tried to put the filter inside the camera? I did thid with my red 25 when i shot IR gbmcneill I've been shooting B+W landscapes on a pinhole camera. To bring out clouds I've been using a yellow filter behind the pinhole - in front would mean than every speck of dirt is in focus. My problem is that specks of dirt cast a blur/shadow on the negs. I've tried vigilant cleaning but can't seem to eradicate them. Any suggestions on keeping contrast in the sky without a filter? Or alternatively how to use a filter without rendering every speck of dirt? thanks, Jeremy. _ Internet access plans that fit your lifestyle -- join MSN. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp

I gave up on filters altogether, and just started shooting color film. This allows me to adjust contrast and convert to greyscale in PHotoshop. You have an astounding amount of contrast control- much better than filters could ever give. At least, that is my experience. This site appears to talk about it: http://www.bythom.com/bandw.htm

Don't mount the filter on the camera, rather hold it in front of the pinhole and keep moving it for the duration of the exposure. The larger the filter the easier this is done. Guillermo
Re: [pinhole-discussion] using filters
Jeremy, What I do is I hold the filter with my had in front of the pinhole and keep moving through out the exposure. That way the dust is not in one place long enough to record on the film.
