[pinhole-discussion] Making the actual pinhole

2001-07-14 Thread Jeremy Siemens
Hi Joel, I read your message on the list regarding what size drill bits to use to make your pinholes. Personally I've had great success making my pinholes out of aluminum from pop cans (or "soda" cans if you prefer). The aluminum is very thin, not to mention cheap and plentyful. I use a sewing

[pinhole-discussion] at home color processing?

2001-07-14 Thread Jeff Dilcher
Just wondering if any pinholers here are processing their color negatives at home. Is such a thing viable? I have been concentrating on b&w for quite some time, and don't know to much about color chemistry... Maybe someone has some recommended internet links...
