Chris,
Really outstanding images! I think the zone plate technique looks great
in BW. It really adds a luminous, dreamy effect. Great!
Are you using 4x5, medium format, or something else?
Regards,
R.J.

Congratulations on using your knowledge, skill, and artistic drive to
develop a new technique. I really love the pinhole sieve images! They seem
to display the best qualities of pinhole and zone plate combined. Looking
forward to seeing more.

If the original negative is 20x24 inches, it would cost a lot to get a high
quality scan of something that size. You would definitely have to reduce the
size to work on it in Photoshop unless you have an industrial grade imaging
workstation that could easily manipulate a graphic file way over 100
Wow, I didn't know aboiut any of this specialized digital equipment --
thanks for the information! I'm still not going out to buy a new digital
camera, but I will consider some older models that are now getting dirt
cheap, especially used.

I think most of us who do pinhole and traditional wet photography get the
satisfaction and enjoyment from an all manual, hands-on process. That
process is imprecise, and depending on film and exposure and processing and
printing, that imprecision yields beauty through grain, tonality, bokeh,
Good discussion on this topic.
Has anyone tried to convert a digital camera to pinhole? I'm guessing that
the results would be poor since digital ccds do not handle long exposures
well at all, resulting in a lot of digital noise and artifacts. But who
knows, it might look interesting..
I would
Here's a nice package I saw on ebay (I have NO relationship to this camera
or seller -- I just happened to see this browsing):
This 5X7 pinhole camera in mint condition. It was only used once for an
assignment. Included is 14 - 5X7 film holders in various condition, but all
are light tight. Also
I would assume that, like traditional photography with a lens, as exposure
time increases sharpness decreases, all factors being equal. So using a
smaller hole than the optimal may lead to decreased sharpness, but on the
other hand, the decrease in sharpness may not be visible anyway.
Great

Is anyone familiar with the Pinhole Factory is England?
See http://www.pinholesolutions.co.uk/pinhole_factory.html
The Silver Gem and Silver Jewel pinhole cameras look like copies of the
Zero 2000 and Zero 2000 multi-format camera. Are they in fact one in the
same?
Thanks,

This whole discussion of authentic space is very interesting to me, both
from a philosophical perspective and practical perspective. I think the
learning for me is that photos are almost always better when there is a
driving vision behind the images, and better yet, a cohesive theme. Having

Dai,
Those are very impressive and beautiful images. Thanks for the inspiration!
What type of paper are they printed on? I know if they look that good as
tiny compressed jpegs, the real prints must be stunning.
Do you have any link to show what your homemade camera looks like?
Regards,
R.J.
Wow, now that's a camera!! I had no idea of the immensity of this beast. I
hope it finds a good home.
If you have trouble finding anyone to take it, you may want to try
contacting the Smithsonian, who could ensure its proper storage and care.

William,
Thanks for the feedback -- can you tell me why the 6x9 multi format Zero was
so hard to load? I've heard there can be some difficulty in getting the lid
on over the film rolls. The results I've seen from this camera have been
very nice, although 5x4 beckons!
