[pinhole-discussion] My "personal day" off from work...

I hope my boss isn't reading... Monday was just too nice a day to go back to work, and, having just received a new Finney 4x5 camera, I was longing to shoot some photos. This shot is from Master's Cemetary, about 10 miles or so east of Atlanta, Georgia. http://www.hiddenworld.net/files/maste

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 h

Hi Wayne and welcome to pinhole photography. You won't regret it! My personal preference for pinhole is to use large format cameras. Actually, all my pinhole work is done in large format...it's just what I'm most comfortable with. Aside from that, you just can't beat the use of Polaroid film wit

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. Jim K - Original Message - From: "Stephen Gray" To: Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 9:42 AM

Hi Wayne, Welcome to lensless photography! It is several universes in size and scope, plenty of stuff to explore and discover. My preference is large-format photography for lensless work, with medium format a good second choice. The main reason is much the same as with lens photography: the ima

Very nice for a first pinhole, Lisa, especially considering that you were "hammering a household pin through a piece of aluminium" to make your pinhole.-:) I like the ragged edges around it. Reminds me of some of the early photographic prints in the 19th century. You might consider sepia

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'
